Amid the political and economic uncertainty across the globe, what are the main factors affecting investors and the implications for asset allocation? Trevor Greetham, Head of Multi Asset at Royal London Asset Management, considers these points in his latest webinar.

Trevor Greetham, Head of Multi Asset, discusses the latest positioning of the Royal London Global Multi Asset Portfolios, the current themes influencing his asset allocation decisions, and looks ahead to the US presidential elections.

With extra stimulus coming through from China and the US, Trevor Greetham, Head of Multi Asset, considers the prospect of a fourth ‘mini cycle’ following the 2018 slowdown as the record-breaking US economic expansion continues. Trevor also notes some short term risks as we enter the usually volatile summer period, but will be looking to buy dips as signs build for a new acceleration of the world economy into next year.

At ten years this is the longest expansion in the US economy since records began in 1857 and yet a recession does not look to be imminent. Trevor Greetham shares insights into this historic phenomenon, using his Investment Clock approach to explain why we could be about to embark on a fourth ‘mini cycle’ upswing triggered by a new round of monetary easing. This line of reasoning suggests the next global downturn could be as far away as 2021. Investors should brace themselves for continued volatility though. Geopolitical risk could yet derail the world economy if the trade war intensifies or military conflict disrupts the flow of oil from the Middle East.

Trevor Greetham, Head of Multi Asset shares his latest review and outlook, updates on the Global Multi Asset Portfolios (GMAPs) and the positioning of the Investment Clock Model that guides his allocation.

Trevor Greetham, Head of Multi Asset provides his latest review and outlook.The Multi Asset funds we manage are moderately overweight in equities and high yield bonds with a tilt towards America and the Emerging Markets within our equity exposure.

As a result of the world economy continuing to slow down and inflationary pressures disappearing with the collapse of oil prices last year, our Investment Clock model is in reflation with low inflation and central banks looking at least to defer any rises to interest rates.

Brexit uncertainty remains so we continue to view this as something we should hedge rather than take big positions on.

As the GMAP range celebrates its three year anniversary, Trevor will reflect on the GMAP story so far, as well as discuss the investment outlook and introduce the recently launched Multi Asset Strategies Fund designed for investors with an absolute return mindset.
