Market Cycle Guidebook - December 2021

We just published our latest "Market Cycle Guidebook", which is one of the main reports in our institutional investment research service.

​​The monthly Market Cycle Guidebook is designed to be a practical & tactical asset allocation guidebook for global multi-asset investors.


It focuses on illuminating the key drivers of risk and return across a global multi-asset universe, with the intention of generating actionable conclusions and meaningful insights for medium-term active asset allocation decisions.

​​

Key features of the Market Cycle Guidebook: -Front page snapshot summary on the global economic cycle, monetary policy, and valuations -Market performance snapshot & commentary /highlights -Summary views across asset classes (short and medium term); basically an "AA cheat sheet"

-TAA/DAA guide visually mapping those views -Monthly updated Capital Market Assumptions -And of course, over 70 charts illuminating the key medium-term drivers of risk and return across a global multi-asset universe

-Australia/New Zealand appendix (since we're down this part of the world!)

>> Some of the key takeaways from the latest edition:


-Global economic recovery remains largely on-track

--but some of the big tailwinds are starting to fade

---rising bond yields, rate hikes in EM, falling fiscal impulse

--meanwhile inflation pressures remain intense

---backlogs/supply disruption continues to bite

---some measures of capacity utilization have bounced back sharply

----increasing capitulation on the term "transitory"

--increasing risk of a policy mistake as central banks walk a fine line

---monetary policy is now a source vs suppressor of volatility


-Remain overweight growth assets vs defensive assets

---BUT with some key tactical nuance to that

--longer cycle is still in play; favoring growth assets

---increasingly focused on short-term risk signals and cycle map

--paying closer attention to old reliable signposts for the macro/market cycle

--short-term focused on the risk outlook in EM, bonds, and US equities

---mindful that our bond market risk indicators are still sounding warnings

----keeping risk management front and center in the immediate term


The report is designed for active asset allocators, and professional investors who require top-down input in their investment process.
