Q2 Insights from our Global Investment Managers

Slow growth is projected to continue due to aggressive central bank policy and persistently high inflation. In our 2023 outlooks, we explore how a risk-off investment approach that favors diversified portfolio allocations across sectors could help investors be well-positioned to weather potential market volatility across key themes and asset classes: ESG, Fixed Income, Private Equity & Private Credit, and Multi-Asset.
