2024 US elections: macro, geopolitical, and investment perspectives
October 2024 | The broad outlines of the candidates' respective platforms are coming into focus, though they still lack clarity on costs related to specific proposals. Most importantly, it will not be clear until after the elections which policies will be implemented - beyond the election rhetoric - or whether Congress will agree to enact them. Here, we evaluate the candidates' platforms and their potential effects on the US economy.
01 | As the US elections approach, markets are increasingly focusing on the candidates' platforms and potential implications for the economy and markets.
02 | Harris advocates for higher taxes on corporations and the wealthy to fund social initiatives and green policies, while Trump promotes tax cuts, deregulation and an increase in oil production.
03 | The tariff agenda is particularly relevant for geopolitical, economic and investment perspectives; a Trump administration pursuing the proposals outlined in his campaign would pose higher risks of economic disruption and could strain alliances.

Passive to Active: Words of Wisdom from Ted Lasso
Passive strategies have generally have fared well over the past decade, which has made it easy to forget the long periods during which active managers outpaced passive approaches. The reasons we believe market concentration will decline include (1) a shrinking earnings advantage for the top ten companies, and (2) seemingly unsustainably high valuations. We believe investors may benefit from investing with active managers that thoughtfully select their exposure based on the earnings and valuation profile of each stock.

October 2024 | US High Yield Market Outlook and Positioning
Third-quarter returns were strong. Performance of BBs and Bs was fueled by falling government bond yields as the major central banks’ swings to more accommodative policies were offset by mildly widening spreads. The big performance surprise was the extremely strong performance of CCCs and the Distressed index.

Fed to Commence Its Easing Cycle
The US Federal Reserve will begin its easing cycle this month, capping a remarkable period of restrictive monetary policy that has not been experienced since the early 1980s. The tighter policy stance has helped cool inflation and moderate economic activity. Now, the Fed hopes to ease off the policy brake in a way that preserves continued disinflationary progress towards its long-term 2% inflation target while also supporting their second mandate of "maximum employment". In this note, we highlight the uniqueness of this monetary policy cycle, how financial markets are anticipating significantly more policy easing than seen in recent easing cycles, and the financial market implications.
