Tables

The Table component is a very versatile component that should be used to organize data and information that is too detailed or complicated to be described adequately in the text, allowing the reader to quickly see the results. They can be used to highlight trends or patterns in the data and to make a webpage more readable by removing numeric data from the text.

There are 4 table styles currently available. Each has been designed to accommodate for varying use cases and content display. Please familiarize yourself with the different table options to ensure that you utilize the one that is most appropriate for your needs.

Each table is available in Paragraph width or Full width. All options are the same for both appearances.

We’ve baked many features into this component, including the ability to:
• Add either a large (H2) or medium size (H3) headline with intro blurb
• Use select Font Awesome icons
• Alternate row striping for easier legibility of large tables
• Hide lengthy sources in a blind
• Include an optional CTA

If you're a publisher, you can also refer to our technical documentation for more details on creating the table component in Teamsite (internal access only).

PRO TIP: Use the large headline appearance if you are using this to introducing a new content section to your page; think of it as your H2. If this is used as support for an established section, use the “medium” size headline (H3).

Simple table

The Simple table is the most versatile of the group. It allows for text and numerical data. Imagery, iconography or pictograms are not supported.

The Paragraph width appearance should be used for data that requires 5 columns or less.
The Full width appearance should be used for data that requires 6 columns or more.

 


Paragraph width simple table

Use this optional intro as a supporting blurb that introduces what the purpose of the table data is. It should be relevant to the page topic, and used to support claims or insights. This maxes out at 350 characters.

Allocations subject to change.
Negative weightings may result from specific circumstances (including timing differences between trade and settle dates of securities purchased by the funds) and/or the use of certain financial instruments, including derivatives, which may be used to gain or reduce market exposure and/or risk management.

Full width simple table

Central banks, such as the Federal Reserve System banks in the United States and Bank of England in the United Kingdom, are strong players in public finance, acting as lenders of last resort as well as strong influences on monetary and credit conditions in the economy.

Usage

  • The Paragraph width appearance should be used for tables with 5 columns or less.
          • NOTE: This recommendation is based on the assumption of tables consisting of primarily numerical data. If your table is very text-heavy and the content looks too cramped in the space, please use the Full width appearance to maintain legibility of your information.

Assets Confidence level Changed perspective Our perspective
United States  +2 Overweight We keep U.S. equities at neutral. Rising uncertainty aronud the 2020 election and a wide range of policy outcomes may weigh on sentiment and prevent a repeat of outperformance.
Euro area  -2 Overweight We maintain European equities at underweight after a stretch of outperformance – and see greater upside in cyclical exposures elsewhere. Markets look to have fully priced in the ECB’s easing.
Japan  +1 Overweight We maintain European equities at underweight after a stretch of outperformance – and see greater upside in cyclical exposures elsewhere. Markets look to have fully priced in the ECB’s easing.
Emerging markets  +1 Overweight We keep an overwieght in EM equities and see them as beneficiaries from the global recovery. EM central banks are likely to stay on their easing paths, supporting the growth and equity markets.
Asia ex-Japan  Neutral We hold Asia ex-Japan equities at neutral amid prospects of a growth uptick, even if delayed. We see China’s economy eventually recovering from disruptions tied to the coronavirus outbreak.
