A brutal pandemic with political and social turmoil have destabilised the West’s once concrete foundations. But having survived a financial crisis and recovered quicker from Covid-19, Asian economies appear to be on much firmer ground. Our regular host Lesley-Ann Morgan is joined by Nick Field, Global Emerging Market Equity Strategist, David Rees, Economist and Viswanathan Parameswar, Head of Investments Asia, as they discuss why for investors, the 21st century could belong to Asia.

This episode of SchrodersTV was released on Tuesday 16 February.

This month we discuss the impact climate change might have on investment returns and what this means for investors. Andy Howard, Global Head of Sustainable Investment and our regular host, Lesley-Ann Morgan, ask economist Irene Lauro and fund managers Felix Odey and Isabella Hervey-Bathurst for their views on how investors might consider climate change in their portfolios.

The economic devastation wreaked by the pandemic has pushed us into a new phase of ultra-low rates, what we have called the era of the zero. To prevent economic disaster, interest rates and bond yields seem set to remain near or below zero for longer than many of us could ever have imagined.

But what does it mean for investors looking for higher returns and safe havens in an uncertain world?

Join our regular host, Lesley-Ann Morgan, Head of Multi-Asset Strategy, as she talks to Chief Economist Keith Wade, Fund Manager Remi Olu-Pitan, Head of Securitized Credit Michelle Russell-Dowe and Head of Fixed Income Andrew Chorlton.

As yields in corporate bonds across the world collapsed to an all-time low from their pandemic highs, expected returns for the passive investor look abysmal from here. The good news is that low average market yields mask a huge disparity between bonds, presenting a golden opportunity for bottom up stock pickers to lock-in high yields in sound companies. Join Jonathan Golan to hear about where we find value in credit markets.

If you’ve spent the last few months adopting a pet, discovering Fortnite, day trading on the stock market or refurbishing your home, you’ve been part of the UK’s growing homebody economy, but global investors continue to shun UK equities. With the Chancellor’s Winter Economic Plan and the new Jobs Support Scheme, many non-viable companies will not survive the coming months.

Join Jean Roche, co-manager of Schroder UK Mid Cap Fund Plc, to hear how we are actively positioning our portfolio based on the sustainability of holdings, including top line growth, cash flow and business practices. The storm is far from over, but we see companies out there that are resilient, resourceful and creative enough to survive it.

During our previous UK Income Growth and Alpha Income web conference in April, the timing and shape of the UK recovery was unclear, but we still anticipated valuation opportunities and a dividend yield of c3.5% in spite of cuts, deferrals and cancellations. After 6.6% (ONS) GDP growth in July, some might say that recovery is still under pressure with an end to the furlough scheme, tax rises and local pandemic restrictions imminent. That does not mean there is nowhere to find opportunity in the UK market.

Join Sue Noffke to hear how she aims to generate income over the next 12 months through exposure to market-leading, cash generative and well-managed businesses in the UK that have seen the income bounce back.
