Market update and economic outlook

The conflict in the Middle East continues to dominate headlines. While a short-lived spike in energy prices may have limited impact on the global economy, the risks will increase if the conflict persists longer term. 

It is not the only source of disruption that investors are considering. Before the latest phase of the conflict began in late February, attention was increasingly turning to what artificial intelligence could mean for different industry sectors. As we adjust to the immediate shock of the conflict, this question may once again come back into focus. 

In our next webinar, our team will share their views on the latest developments, discuss where we see opportunities and explain how we are positioning portfolios. 

Please join us at 11.00am on Wednesday 22 April to hear from our Chief Investment Officer, Caspar Rock and our Head of Client Service, Kate Leppard.
