We just published our "Market Cycle Guidebook" for May, which is part of our institutional investment research service.
The monthly Market Cycle Guidebook is designed to be a key resource 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:
The macro/market cycle progresses...
-The key themes of 2020 continue to echo into 2021 (and beyond)
--massive stimulus is already baked-in
--vaccination and reopening are in play (albeit variable)
--anticipate a continuation of the clear but fragile global economic recovery
--backlogs/shortages have become worse
---inflation pressures are intensifying and spare capacity is evaporating
-Anticipate that this year will reward those who take a more nuanced approach to active asset allocation as many market rotations are just getting started
--indeed, May provided a tantalizing glimpse of this
-Remain overweight growth assets vs defensive assets
--longer cycle is still in play; favoring growth assets
--but increasingly focused on short-term risk signals
--paying closer attention to old reliable signposts for the macro/market cycle
The report is designed for active asset allocators, and professional investors who require top-down input in their investment process.
