Hello and welcome to the Short List: In equities, We take a selective, alpha-seeking approach, preferring to take company-level rather than broad market risk amid a more challenged macro outlook eg in Europe.

In fixed income, we’re seeking carry with quality: we broadly lean towards higher-quality spread income in fixed income, rather than duration, given sticky inflation and potential US fiscal expansion.

We look beyond traditional asset classes to portfolio diversifiers. We think liquid alternatives can provide a way for investors to reduce broad market beta and replace it with uncorrelated alpha risk across asset classes.

Finally, we look to enhance potential returns by building exposure to mega forces and private markets.

At a moment of economic transformation, investing itself is changing – and this may require investors to rethink their approach to portfolios. In Investment Directions, we highlight potential opportunities across asset classes and strategies, all connected by an overarching view on positioning portfolios for today’s markets.
