Trump victory: Key implications for investors
November 2024 | Former President Donald Trump will return to the US White House for the next four years and, with the Republican party also taking the Senate and possibly the House, a “red sweep” is the most likely outcome. Financial markets reacted by extending popular “Trump trades” – pushing up bond yields, the US dollar and equity futures – as investors assign higher odds of Trump turning policy proposals into reality. The inflation impact of Trump’s policies will pose risks to fixed income investments, and these could be amplified by concerns about US fiscal sustainability.
01 | We think the new president may prioritize tariff and immigration policies over tax cuts, as these can be implemented through executive orders without congressional approval.
02 | Full implementation of Trump’s far-reaching tariff proposal will likely leave no winners in a world of heightened trade uncertainty and protectionism.
03 | We believe higher inflation and a more hawkish Fed will pose risks to fixed income investments, while supporting the dollar in the short term. Tighter financial conditions may be transmitted across the globe, with Asian markets particularly vulnerable given the added shock from higher tariffs.

2024 US elections: macro, geopolitical, and investment perspectives
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.

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.
