Global Investment Views - December 2025
The year is drawing to a close with most risk assets in positive territory, and global stocks and metal prices seeing multiple highs. Even the longest US government shutdown in history didn’t curb market enthusiasm. We think markets have been looking through the weakness in the belief that monetary and fiscal policy levers will be available for support, that profitability of AI investments is almost a given, and that corporate earnings will continue to exceed expectations, following a strong results season in the US, somewhat less so in Europe. The tariffs’ impact on consumption is also largely being ignored.

Artificial Intelligence for Behavioral Finance
Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) techniques, have been extensively used in consumer finance to assess credit risk, develop automated models for loan attribution, and forecast households’ insurance claims and spending. However, their application in analyzing retail investors’ behaviors and designing tools to shape financial advice has emerged more recently.

‘Controlled Disorder’ with room for accidents
We will remain in an environment of heightened geopolitical risk in 2026. This is a result of various megatrends still playing out, including: the transition to multipolarity, economic warfare, US–China competition, as well as the arms and technology race underway. The war in Ukraine and tensions in the Middle East are additional factors. As geopolitical risk remains elevated, so is the likelihood of downside surprises and tensions flaring up. However, geopolitics also defines trends that bring opportunities. While uncertainty will prevail, geopolitics in 2026 will bring both upsides and downsides for investors.

Fixed income in the new policy order
We see a continuation of the diversification trend seen in 2026. Fixed income investors may be underestimating the risk stemming from US expansionary fiscal policy. We see opportunities in inflation break-evens, and yield curve steepening later in the year. Quality credit becomes a core allocation for fixed income investors, thanks to sound fundamentals and a better risk-return profile compared to Treasuries. European bonds remain a key call for 2026, with a focus on peripheral bonds and investment grade credit, particularly in financials.
