The US is mired in debt and its government lurching from one ‘debt ceiling’ deadline to the next, while the Frankenstein’s monster that is the eurozone once again grapples with spiralling Italian bond yields. How long can sticking plasters be put on top of patches, and where can investors seek attractive opportunities in a macroeconomic and geopolitical landscape that seems to be perpetually in crisis mode? Please join the Jupiter Merlin Team on Wednesday 29 November at 11am to hear their latest views and an update on the Portfolios.

Webcast: A system perpetually in crisis mode

The Indian economy is growing rapidly as policy initiatives focused on manufacturing, a robust services sector, digital revolution, a boost in infrastructure spending, and an increasingly affluent young population make it well placed to sustain growth rates higher than the global average. Avinash Vazirani, investment manager, will explain how the nation’s stocks are capturing this optimism and what’s in store for the future.

What’s in store for fixed income as we stare at a potential recession over the next few months? Will central banks dilute their hawkish posture as disinflationary impulses emerge around the world? Can policy makers avert a hard landing, which could have a telling effect on growth and jobs?  Please join us on Thursday 16 November to hear the views of Ariel Bezalel and Harry Richards, investment managers, Jupiter Strategic Bond, and Matt Morgan, head of fixed income, as they address issues including the evolving geopolitical scenario and oil prices.

Webcast: Gearing up for a recessionary world

The return to the outperformance of emerging markets has a clear driver: the end of US exceptionalism and a return to an environment where the relative growth advantage of emerging markets will shine.

Investors have long looked to China and the US as the sources of global growth, but we believe recent events have seen this paradigm shift. Heightened geopolitical tensions have driven a splintering of global spheres of influence. Going forward, global trade and economic growth may be less dependent on the fortunes of these two nations, and more dependent on cross-border investment between countries.

Emerging markets are the world’s last great growth engine: among other factors, they have vast, young populations; are well educated and entrepreneurial and are rapidly growing their wealth. Greater integration of EM economies helps support this growth and reduces reliance on the slower growing developed world.

With this in mind, we will be hosting a webcast on 15th November at 10am with Nick Payne, fund manager of our Global Emerging Markets Focus strategy. Nick will delve into opportunities in emerging markets and our fund capabilities in this space with plenty of time for questions and discussion.

Why the time is ripe for Emerging Markets

Where can equity income investors find the most attractive combination of income and growth in today’s markets? This double-header webcast features Jason Pidcock (Jupiter Asian Income) and Dan Carter (Jupiter Japan Income), talking about equity income investing in a world of higher inflation and higher interest rates.

Please join us at 10am on Thursday 9th November to hear from Jason and Dan about the opportunities available for equity income investors across the Asia Pacific and Japanese markets.

Webcast: Seeking equity income across Asia and Japan

With the global economy perhaps headed for recession, it’s important to identify secular growth opportunities, as well as quality companies that can ride out challenges and thrive into the future. Please join us at 10am on 31 October as Caroline Cantor (Investment Director) interviews Mark Heslop and Mark Nichols from our European Equities team. During their discussion they will highlight short term market headwinds, outlooks for companies and sectors, as well as long term opportunities in the best companies European markets can offer.

Webcast: Seeking quality in European markets

Higher inflation has hit consumers hard in the last 18 months, but governments too have seen spiralling debt costs that put their budgets under serious pressure. As the UK and others look towards future elections, will the aspiring governments of tomorrow have fiscal headroom to enact meaningful change? If not, are they being honest with their electorates about it, and how can investors navigate markets against this backdrop? Please join the Jupiter Merlin Team on Wednesday 25 October at 11am to hear their latest views.

Webcast: A growing ‘cost of governing’ crisis

Please join Dr Amadeo Alentorn, Lead Investment Manager, Systematic Equities, who will discuss performance during Q3 of the Jupiter Merian Global Equity Absolute Return (GEAR) Fund. In a time of uncertain economic conditions and changeable markets, it is very difficult for investors to find true diversification. Amadeo will explain how a systematic, market neutral approach to global equities can offer diversification benefits. He will address the problems investors have faced in finding diversification and explain why GEAR has a targeted volatility limit. Amadeo will also share how GEAR is positioned in the current market environment to take advantage of its changeability.

As the Federal Reserve nervously treads the tightrope of its mandate to both control inflation and foster employment, the Bank of England seems stumped by how to bring inflation towards target. Rishi Sunak’s pledge to “halve inflation by the end of the year” is looking increasingly unwise. What impact do the travails of central banks have on markets, and how can investors manage the opportunities and risks in this environment? Please join the Jupiter Merlin Team on Wednesday 26 July at 11am to hear their latest views.

Webcast: On inflation, are central banks part of the problem?

Debt, and how to manage it, is a subject which polarises opinion and manifests itself in volatile market behaviour. The US has again stepped back from the abyss with a deal on its debt ceiling, while in the UK government debt servicing costs have more than doubled since before Covid. Investing in challenging times means staying alert and being willing to change one’s mind. These are principles the Jupiter Merlin team apply in managing their portfolios on behalf of clients. Please join us on Wednesday 28 June at 11am to hear their latest views.

Should we be worried about government debt?

We recently announced the launch of the new Jupiter ‘Merlin SELECT ‘range of funds. These ‘Select funds’ bring a competitive pricing structure and together with the existing Merlin Portfolios will provide full coverage across the risk spectrum, enhancing the options you will have to meet the investment needs of your clients.

Please join us on Wednesday 31 May at 11am to hear more on the new funds and ask any questions you may have to the team.

Jupiter Merlin webcast: Introducing Jupiter Merlin Select

All eyes are on the US Federal Reserve to gauge its future course of action in a world marked by stubborn inflation, lacklustre growth, tight labour markets, heightened geopolitical tensions and high interest rates. Will they be able to avert a hard landing? Will there be substantial rate cuts in the coming months?  Please join us on Tuesday May 30 to hear the views of Ariel Bezalel, and Harry Richards as they address some of these questions lingering in the minds of fixed income investors. Luca Evangelisti, head of credit research, will provide an update on the banking sector.

Webcast: A game of probabilities

UK economic growth is flat while the outlook for the future seems sluggish. Meanwhile, inflation is proving stickier than in other developed economies but the Bank of England – tempted to raise rates further – must keep a watchful eye on the property markets. Yet even in tough times the best companies can grow and gain market share. Please join Richard Buxton for his next UK Alpha Fund webcast on 23 May at 10am, where he will give his views on markets, provide an update on fund positioning, and will answer questions from listeners.

Is the UK economy stuck in a rut?

Please join Dr Amadeo Alentorn, Lead Investment Manager, Systematic Equities, who will take your questions on the Jupiter Merian Global Equity Absolute Return (GEAR) Fund. 
After a period in which traditional, long only approaches to both equities and bonds have failed to deliver, Amadeo will answer audience questions on a systematic, market neutral approach to global equities. He will address the problems investors have faced in finding diversification and will discuss why GEAR has a targeted volatility limit.   
Amadeo will also update you on recent performance and share how GEAR is positioned in the current market environment.

Webcast and Q&A: Jupiter Merian Global Equity Absolute Return Fund

Are you worried about where the world is headed over the next 30 years? Bond markets are not! A yield of c3.5% on the US 30-Year Treasury says that a fairly trifling return is all the compensation needed for the coming three decades of geopolitical earthquakes and economic ructions. Are risks being foolishly ignored, or is this a classic case of markets ‘climbing a wall of worry’? In this webcast, the Jupiter Merlin team try to make sense of the situation. Please join us on Wednesday 26 April at 11am to hear their latest views.

Webcast: Should you be worried about something?

Investment managers Mark Nichols and Mark Heslop prefer to look beyond the macro environment to focus on companies – seeking high-quality, cash generative businesses with earnings growth and exposure to long-term secular trends. Please join both Marks for a webcast at 10am on April 20th, when they will discuss the opportunities and outlook for the Jupiter European Fund. They will cover positioning and performance as well as the importance of quality and pricing power.

Finding quality in European equities

As inflation and interest rates are possibly close to peaking, and the amount of negative yielding debt in the world returns towards zero, is it safe to say that sanity has reasserted itself? Or are there other factors – such as geopolitics, deglobalisation, or decarbonisation – that may once again turn the world on its head? In this webcast, the Jupiter Merlin team assess a delicately balanced investment landscape. Please join us on Wednesday 5 April at 11am to hear their latest views.

Has sanity returned to global investment markets?

Value investing has just enjoyed a year of particularly strong performance, however, this follows one of the worst 5 year periods of underperformance ever recorded for value investing.  In this presentation, Ben Whitmore, Dermot Murphy and Brian McCormick will discuss what it has been like managing a global value strategy in these conditions. They will discuss some of the benefits, as well as potential pitfalls, of running a global portfolio and explain where they are currently finding the biggest opportunities.

What’s next for value investing?

Ariel Bezalel, Head of Strategy, Fixed Income, provides his latest quarterly global update.
