Protecting and enhancing your wealth in changing markets
Current valuations in many asset classes may present investors with an opportunity to reposition and rebuild their portfolios.
The overall picture is still uncertain, and asset prices could improve further. But as markets shift, we expect to see entry points offering potentially strong medium-term value.
With economies and markets in transition, and persistent inflation threatening to erode wealth, portfolios will need to be resilient to further volatility. They will also need enough upside to thrive in the recovery phase.
In times of uncertainty when it is easy to worry about making the wrong move, we can support you through the big decisions – and keep your dreams on track.
Here are four strategies we believe can guide your decisions today and may benefit your portfolio tomorrow:

Navigating Rates
A dynamic approach is required as investors adapt to shifting interest rates, inflation expectations and exchange rates. Volatility will likely persist: while we expect monetary policy to become gradually less restrictive than in recent times, higher rates will likely uncover weak points as industries feel the impact of elevated borrowing costs. Visibility of how markets will develop remains limited, even in the short term, and expectations could be upended. But we are confident this environment also creates opportunities.
Diversification is key – across public and private markets – and we have the ideas and expertise to navigate the complexity.
Embracing Disruption
We think it’s time to recast traditional definitions of “disruption”. Once a story for the tech sector, disruption is now all-encompassing as artificial intelligence and other transformative technologies are used widely.
While technology may be driving many of the changes, this new wave of disruption could shape many aspects of our daily lives. There are also geopolitical shifts to watch as China becomes preeminent in high-tech industries like electric cars and India positions itself as an emerging power.
The implications of this new age of disruption will be profound and exponential, and together we can embrace the opportunities.
Achieving Sustainability
Sustainable investing is evolving rapidly. Increased flows rightly come with increased expectations of measurability and impact. The industry is on a journey: from a focus on ESG-led risk management to purposeful sustainability solutions and ultimately to impact investing strategies that contribute to measurable environmental or social benefits.
We believe this direction of travel towards real-world change will be the long-term trend of the decade. With a considered approach to achieving sustainable outcomes, we are alongside you at the different stages of your journey, whatever your ambitions.
Transforming Infrastructure
Infrastructure is key for the development and smooth running of economies and societies, but much of the infrastructure needed tomorrow does not exist today. Private capital can play a crucial role in funding essential projects as huge investments are needed, especially for the transition to greener energy.
Investors have many ways to enter this complex asset class and can pick their spot in the capital structure and the region or duration of the investment.
With our expertise and market access we are working with investors today to transform the infrastructure of tomorrow.
