It is the early days of 2021 and already bond markets have wobbled, virus infections have surged and lockdowns have deepened. Does this portend higher volatility for markets this year or a delayed return to a more normal economic environment? Please join Richard Buxton, head of UK Alpha Strategy at Jupiter Asset Management, as he shares his outlook for financial markets and discusses his UK Alpha Fund performance.

Systematic Equities update with Dr Ian Heslop and Dr Amadeo Alentorn– Q4 2020 PM

There’s little point pretending that 2020 has been anything other than a difficult year but there are ingredients for something of a renaissance in at least parts of the UK equity market, leading Jupiter’s Richard Buxton to ask, are we about to enter the “roaring 2020s”? Please join Richard at 10:00am GMT on 16 December for his monthly Merian UK Alpha Fund update. Richard will discuss his outlook, market views and fund performance and explain why he sees some reasons for investors to be cheerful.

On the cusp of the `Roaring 2020s’?

Richard will share his views on what may lie ahead for UK large cap investors as he discusses the financial markets, macro-economic activity and the latest fund performance and portfolio activity.

An Informed View for Investors

Central banks are pumping vast stimulus into the system, swelling their balance sheets to extreme levels. Head of Gold & Silver, Ned Naylor-Leyland, will explain why this is the perfect environment for monetary metals. He will update you on the progress of the fund and will welcome your questions.

Gold Renaissance: investors are discovering the power of gold

Please join Richard Buxton, head of UK Alpha strategy at Jupiter Asset Management and manager of the Merian UK Alpha Fund, at 10am-11am on October 29.

He will also discuss fund performance and positioning.

Taking Stock of UK Large Caps

The global economy is continuing its rebound from the sharp shock of Covid-19 lockdowns, and notwithstanding further restrictions, the credit supply remains open and policymakers, while they have taken the right steps so far, have more to do to limit the damage. Please join fund manager Mark Nash and fixed income product specialist Huw Davies for an update on the Merian Strategic Absolute Return Bond fund at 10am on Thursday 8 October. They will share views on the macro data, credit, rates, portfolio positioning and performance.

What Might Q4 Hold for UK Large Caps?

While members of the public may be getting increasingly used to having their temperatures checked as one of the many previously-unfamiliar rituals now associated with entering shops, restaurants and public spaces, quoted UK companies will be preparing themselves for equally keen interest in their vital statistics as they ready themselves for the second-quarter reporting season. Please join Richard Buxton at 11:00 (London time) on Tuesday 28th July for his regular webcast on the Merian UK Alpha Fund, when he will discuss this eagerly-awaited set of corporate results, what they might tell us about the health of the economy and businesses, and of course their implications for investors.

Global Equities update with Dr. Ian Heslop and Justin Wells - Q2 2020 AM

Travel-related businesses have been among the very worst affected by the coronavirus pandemic, with announcements of redundancies across the industry now a sadly familiar feature of the news agenda. Join Richard Buxton at 11:00 (London time) on Wednesday 20th May for his monthly update on the Merian UK Alpha Funds, when he will discuss why he believes that, for patient investors, the prospects for travel-related stocks may be more attractive than recent declines in share prices are suggesting.

UK equities: in search of a destination

After an extraordinary few months, markets seem to be pausing for thought. But what do recent events mean for the long-term prospects of UK small- and medium-sized businesses? Where are the opportunities and relative ‘safe havens’ now? And to what extent is it important to take a step back and look at the bigger picture? Dan Nickols, manager of the Merian UK Smaller Companies Fund, and Richard Watts, manager of the Merian UK Mid Cap Fund, will address all these questions, discuss portfolio performance and activity, and answer any questions you might have. We hope you will be able to join them at 11:00 (London time) on Tuesday 19th May. 
Dan Nickols, manager of the Merian UK Smaller Companies Fund, and Richard Watts, manager of the Merian UK Mid Cap Fund, will address all these questions, discuss portfolio performance and activity, and answer any questions you might have.

Global Equities update with Dr. Ian Heslop and Justin Wells - Q1 2020 PM

With central banks seemingly removing rate hikes from this year’s playbook, the current macroeconomic environment is highly supportive of gold and silver which, as inflation-busting assets, perform well during times of traditional currency weakness.

Please join Ned Naylor-Leyland for a live webcast, as he explains why now is the time for investors to pay close attention to silver, the broader attraction of gold, and why all eyes should be on real rates.
