Looking Beyond ‘23
Our framework identifies three primary portfolio implications for navigating a new market environment:
1. Balanced Asset Allocation: Balanced asset allocation will be critical. The era of simple stock/ bond diversification is likely over.
2. Higher Real Assets Correlation: Commodity demand, US dollar weakness, and pressure on long-duration sectors will shift investor focus toward emerging markets and other market segments with higher real asset correlation.
3. Strong Governance & Risk Management: More inflation and geopolitical volatility will put a premium on a dynamic approach to risk management and strong governance norms.
