Regime Change: the importance of re-thinking portfolio construction

The Global Pandemic has acted as catalyst for rapid change around the world. Business models, social norms, spending habits and outlooks have all been tested. Additionally a new co-ordination of fiscal and monetary policy has also been unleashed on the world, leading to a landscape with greater government intervention in market functioning and support. The culmination of these factors will have an unrelenting impact on virtually all investable asset classes: a result of the changing and manipulated market environment. During this presentation, Chris Marshall, Head of Investment Strategy at Dragon IM, will walk through some of the changes that need to be considered at the asset allocation level, along with a look back through history to uncover how key assets have an inbuilt economic bias to key environments, and how these can be used to optimise tactical and strategic allocations.
