Market outlook

To understand where we are going, it is important to reflect on how we got here. Given the upheaval felt across the UK investment industry, we will provide a top-down view on market events that have led up to this point – rising inflation, high interest rates, government decisions, and changing circumstances – and use this to frame our discussions about investments in both the short and long term future.

Our Chief Investment Officer Matt Tickle was joined by two special guests for this comprehensive summary of where the UK investment market finds itself in 2023 - Neil Brown, Geopolitical Strategist from CQS, and Arnab Das, Global Macro Strategist from Invesco.

Tackling tomorrow

Until 2022, yields had spent over a decade at all-time lows. Investors have been forced to hunt for returns, often by taking more risk. But with yields rising to levels last seen in 2011, do you now need to take as much risk to achieve the return you need? Which risks are worth taking? Do you need to achieve a return that beats inflation? 

In this stream our experts Danielle Markham (Head of LDI Research), Mark Parry (Head of Manager Research), Chris Pritchard (Associate and Senior Investment Consultant) and Sonia Kataora (Partner and Head of DC Investment) sought answers to these important questions to help get your mix of assets right. They explored how the change in the market backdrop might impact investment portfolio building in 2023 and beyond.
