Through its Wealth Management Solutions team, Schroders aims to help US private and high-net-worth investors solve for a range of income, wealth preservation, and alpha needs through a global network of distinctive long-term investments such as private equity, private debt, real estate, and other alternatives capabilities.

As many parts of the developed economy emerge from the worst of the pandemic, how do the various regions that comprise the emerging markets fare? In our long-standing EME webinar series, Tom Wilson examines the fundamentals, technicals and macro in China, Brazil, India, Russia and other EM economies.

Schroders' Emerging Market Equity quarterly review and outlook

Climate change has dominated the headlines in 2021. However, recent studies have indicated that SOCIAL issues are a greater driver of returns. In this edition of Schroders Sustainability Webcast, we will discuss how integrating issues like diversity, supply chain management, and financial inclusion into security selection -- across BOTH developed and emerging markets, and via both public and private markets -- can potentially help drive better outcomes for both society, and your portfolio's returns.

Sustainability Quarterly: The "S" factor

In this edition of Schroders long-standing webinar series, we look at one of the most ubiquitous themes -- COVID and the current state of the vaccine roll-out. Nick Field will provide an overview on where are we on the disease, economic effects, and market effects impacting the Emerging Markets. As always, Q&A is welcomed.

The global response to the COVID pandemic, the Fed’s announcement of its new inflation target policy, along with the revitalization of an 11-year equity bull market has given light to a new discussion on inflation. As with all debates, there are two sides of the coin. However, we’re seeking to do it differently. We want to stand the coin on its side and spin it with a different discussion – what can investors do regardless of the inflation regime?
 
Join us as Andy Chorlton, Global Head of Fixed Income, moderates a panel of complementary asset-class experts with Remi Olu-Pitan, Portfolio Manager, Multi-Asset, and Abdallah Guezour, Head of Commodities and EMD. Each offers a different perspective on approaching this topic given the current state of inflation, and Andy will field questions from you – the audience – on its near- and longer-term implications on the capital markets. Our aim is to solve the question of what can investors do to seek alternative diversification and/or income should we see a meaningful inflation spike during these unprecedented times.

The inflation debate: idiosyncratic, inescapable, or just plain irritating

The next episode of SchrodersTV is available.

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 month we discuss the impact climate change might have on investment returns and what this means for investors.

Fitting to host our first live 2021 webinar on Inauguration Day, we're pleased to host our long-standing Emerging Markets webinar series amid a time when market headwinds come face to face with tailwinds, such as a declining dollar. Head of Emerging Markets Equities Tom Wilson provides an in-depth 2021 outlook, as well as the expectations for the GEMS universe as we enter a new phase of US-elected leadership, COVID, and globalization in a decade of disruption.

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.

The US officially left the Paris agreement at the same time as China. Meanwhile, the EU is full steam ahead on a number of sustainable initiatives, and both Korea and Japan have announced targets to be net-zero by 2050. In this webcast we will discuss the implications of global commitments and regulation on the sustainable finance landscape now that the Presidential election has take place.

Also, where does the US go from here? How does a change in administration potentially impact policy in the US? Does the DOL’s final rule on ESG in ERISA plans really put a cold shower on sustainable investing in the US?

Finally, we look at the findings from our own Investor Survey where we find that alignment to values and regulatory pressure continue to influence investor behavior globally.

Schroders Sustainability Quarterly: Dear Paris, with love?

When China sneezes....Schroders global economic outlook

Moderated by Global Head of Stewardship Jessica Ground, this quarter we discuss our current research on a variety of climate-related issues. Andy Howard will provide an update on our latest Climate Progress Dashboard, which pointed to a higher long run temperature than the quarter before. The results reinforce the need for more urgency from politicians, and corporate execs alike. Also, Isabella Hervey-Bathurst, a Global Sector Specialist on our International Equity team will examine several thematic trends and opportunities within our Climate Change strategy.

Securitized Quarterly, with Michelle Russell-Dowe

Please join us for the first Schroders webinar of 2020 as we feature one of our flagship capabilities -- Emerging Market Equity -- and what investors can expect in the near term across the global EME universe.

US equities in general were stand-outs in 2019, driven by a number of factors including strong consumer-led growth. Will this and other trends continue into 2020? Join us as Bob Kaynor looks at the state of the US consumer, and where investors may want to focus their US equity exposure as we enter the later stages of a 11+ year bull market market environment.

US small caps: will the consumer reign supreme in 2020?

Please join us as Angus Sippe, Portfolio Manager on Schroders’ Multi-Asset team (and a Sydney expat) looks at ways asset allocators can wrestle today’s crocodiles of distorted markets, geopolitics and other forces impacting the global capital markets. However, unlike the main character, our view is a ‘bigger’ knife may not always be a better thing – although, staying focused and being nimble will be the key to global asset allocation in 2020.

ESG in Investment Management: Building the Future 2020

ESG in and of itself is no longer an investment differentiator. But how one conducts their ESG research, the proprietary tools they utilize, and how they express it through cutting-edge fundamental analysis, that’s groundbreaking! In this session we look at how fundamental research integrates with an ESG research framework within the credit markets, as well as in an area few think of when they think ESG – US Small Cap. 

Bob Kaynor, Head of US Small & Mid Cap Equities, and David Knutson, Head of Credit Research, Americas discuss their respective platform.
