July 2017: Don't call the bear too early

Published: July 26, 2017, midnight

How is our Multi Asset team positioned this month? After another intense Asset Allocation Group meeting, Richard Edgar, Editor-in-Chief, debriefs with: Anna Stupnytska - Global economist, and former rower. Eugene Philalithis - Multi Asset portfolio manager, and Star Wars fan. James Bateman - Chief Investment Officer, Multi Asset, and former weightlifter. They discuss why it would be a mistake to call the bear market too early, consider the impact of diverging central bank policies, and explain how to position an income portfolio in a rising rate environment. Finally, they review the assets which are 'selling like hotcakes' and also those they would 'drop like a hot potato.' -- This podcast is for Investment Professionals only and should not be relied on by private investors.
