Today’s markets warrant a nimble approach

Increased uncertainty in today’s markets underscores the importance for an unconstrained approach to capture investment opportunities. In the past few years, markets have experienced a global pandemic, elevated inflation, increased geopolitical tensions and a dramatic interest-rate hiking cycle.

Global Allocation seeks to help clients by considering the following questions and by adjusting the portfolio to manage the near-term and invest for the long-term:

  • What is the macro environment and do we want to be risk-on or risk off? 
  • What is the optimal allocation across stocks, bonds, and cash in the current environment? 
  • What are the individual securities we want to invest in? 
  • How have the markets and investment opportunities evolved?

Under Rick’s leadership, the Global Allocation investment process was enhanced through a more robust framework to harness macro, regional, and thematic views to complement the bottom-up fundamental research. In addition, we implemented a deeper integration of systematic strategies to monitor investment trends and augment positioning. Finally, we increased research collaboration with Fundamental Fixed Income (FFI) credit analysts worldwide.
