    Capital Market Assumptions 2024

    2024-04-08T16:20:00Z By Amundi

    Last year we enhanced our Capital Market Assumptions approach by including a social dimension considering the impact of rebalancing labour / profits on earnings. This social component was added to the climate change assumptions introduced in 2022, which evaluate how the future trajectory of the energy transition will affect the key economic variables driving our forecasts (GDP growth, inflation, productivity, etc.), and the way we model asset class behaviour – with regards to earnings growth in particular.

    Best ideas across asset classes

    2024-04-05T11:06:00Z By Nuveen

    Stocks have enjoyed a strong rally, but despite (or perhaps because of) recent price increases, we retain an overall neutral view toward global equities. Continued strength in the global economy, and especially remarkable resilience in the U.S., provide a solid foundation for stocks. However, valuations have become stretched thanks to what we believe are overly dovish expectations for interest rate declines and monetary policy.

    The appeal of private assets in 2024

    2024-04-04T12:27:00Z By Nuveen

    The macro environment in 2024 will likely spur demand for private assets from all types of investors in our view. In this higher-for-longer environment, private assets could continue to be a compelling source of risk-adjusted returns, income and diversification.

    The economy and markets

    2024-04-04T10:54:00Z By Nuveen

    The risks of a U.S. and global recession have receded considerably after appearing elevated last year. Despite expectations for a material slowdown in growth over the course of 2023, economic data broadly surprised to the upside. Instead of flatlining, the U.S. economy grew more than 3%, while China expanded by over 5%. Both results outpaced consensus expectations.

    2024 2Q outlook: Adapting to high tide

    2024-04-04T10:44:00Z By Nuveen

    Originally written and recorded by a Jamaican trio in 1967, “The Tide Is High” made its biggest splash with the now-classic 1980 cover version that topped the charts around the world. Thematically simple, the song’s familiar chorus acknowledges challenging circumstances while expressing the narrator’s resilience (“I’m holding on”). It’s an apt soundtrack for today’s investors as they acclimate to a high-tide environment of their own.

    Great Expectations: Is engagement living up to its promise?

    2024-04-03T13:49:00Z By PGIM

    Is ‘engagement washing’ poised to be the next term maligning asset management’s ESG movement? Institutional investors often engage with companies they invest in to improve those companies’ environmental, social and governance practices – rivalling capital allocation as a core mechanism for achieving sustainable investment outcomes. But do engagement activities really deliver impactful, positive, real-world outcomes?

    The transportation sector is largely powered by petroleum-based fuels, and contributes about 25% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Clearly, there is a need to move people and freight, but leading global economies are working to decarbonise the sector through technological innovation, policy change and greater efficiency.

    India: The structural growth story and the long-term investment opportunity

    2024-03-19T15:55:00Z By Matthews

    India’s equity markets are being driven by fundamentals in the form of robust economic expansion which is leading to strong earnings growth. India is also, helpfully, in the draft of favorable geopolitical tailwinds. In this paper, we make the case for India—not as the potential new China or as potentially one of the best-performing equity markets of 2024—but for its own long-term structural growth prospects. We also explain why an active approach is needed to get the best out of India, to capture quality, navigate the challenges, and manage macro variables like inflation, interest rates and global economic growth.
