While equities tend to fluctuate more than bonds, they also offer more growth potential. An active, analytical approach to equity investing that hones in on specific opportunities in a broad range of markets can help investors capture potential growth while reducing the impact of short-term volatility.
Alternatives: The time is now
As financial repression continues to stifle yields on traditional investments, some of the best opportunities to deliver value are found in alternative asset classes. Two of the best examples are infrastructure and private credit, both of which offer a measure of protection from rising interest rates; compelling routes to portfolio diversification; and the ability to generate steady income over time. However as opportunities in these assets are typically less accessible and structured differently than standard investments, it is critical that they are identified and managed with dedicated expertise, and a full understanding of the role they should play in a portfolio.
