Emerging market investors face a number of headwinds. Inflation is high and climbing. Central banks, both in emerging markets and globally, are tightening policy. The Chinese economy has slowed, as the country’s zero-Covid-19 policy takes its toll and regulations hit home. The geopolitical landscape remains a morass. So, the question is: do emerging markets make a compelling long term investment?

In our view, 2022 will undoubtedly be a challenging environment for investors. However, valuations in both equity and bond markets have already priced in these headwinds to a large extent. As such, we believe this creates an attractive environment for diligent investors with proven research and selection skills.

Listen to our experts while they discuss what they’ve learnt through their 35 years on-the-ground-experience of investing in emerging markets. Learn about how markets and companies have been transforming, and the evolution of investing strategies over time. We will also take  a closer look at the growing importance of ESG factors in the emerging market investing, particularly with respect to seeking alignment to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

European Corporate Bond Fund Q4 Update

European Corporate Bond Fund Q3 Update

Offices have been the cornerstone of our economic system for decades and their use and design has never been uniform or static. Now more so than ever, their role and therefore their design is under immense pressure to adapt to flexible working arrangements and the requirement to achieve much greater levels of energy efficiency. Delivering productive office spaces, enhancing the occupier experience and being ahead of the curve in meeting sustainability targets will be key to the creation of long term value in office assets.
 
ASI is at the forefront of research on this topic. Generating attractive risk-adjusted returns in the office sector will require a greater emphasis on future-proofing assets.  
 
FACTS is our proprietary framework for evaluating the future-fitness of offices.

Join us live as we discuss the results of the US election. Our Chief Economist, Jeremy Lawson and our Senior Global Economist, James McCann will be joined by a panel of experts across Multi-Asset, US Equities and Emerging Markets to talk you through the impacts of the presidential election result. Our panel will share research and discuss their thoughts to help provide you with insight during these unprecedented times. Find out what the implications are for investors and ask your questions to our panel of experts.

US Presidential Election: The Result

With an unparalleled emphasis on sustainable investing these days, it appears that we, as an industry, are at a juncture where it is no longer a question of “why” or “when” to do it. The question is “how” to do it, measure it and report on it, in both liquid and illiquid asset classes.

During this seminar we looked to explore and debate the practicalities related to some of the major challenges the world is facing (climate change, the social inequality gap, unsustainable production and consumption to name a few) with attention centred on implementation. In order to shed light on and debate these topics, we invited a number of highly respected guest speakers to share their experiences and views.

Prospects of a sustainable recovery

The global economy has begun to bounce back from the coronavirus shock. But how much more recovery can we expect and what are the risks to the outlook?  And how should investors incorporate long-term structural trends that have been amplified by the shock?

A review of hedge fund and liquid alternative performance over Q2 including AUM flow over the year. An overview of our hedge fund outlook and focus on the opportunity set for stock picking hedge funds.

Q2 review and outlook - what's driving your hedge fund benchmark?

We believe the COVID-19 crisis has mostly accelerated trends that were already underway prior to the pandemic, with flexibility being the key focus - 1) flexible work arrangements, and 2) flexible workspace solutions. 

Listen to our panel of experts discuss the office market, what we expect over the long-term, competition for tenants and the why investor would benefit from value-add services to differentiate.
