The Asset Allocation Committee (AAC) continues to see opportunity in growth and risk assets over the medium term, even as elevated risks and increasingly divergent policy paths make the investment landscape more complex. We believe this environment rewards disciplined, selective risk-taking.
At the same time developed markets have been generating policy and macro noise, emerging markets have been quietly outperforming. We expect EM risk assets to continue to deliver.
After a generally stellar year for fixed income, 2026 looks more demanding, with fewer rate tailwinds and tight spreads putting a premium on security selection and global diversification, particularly as tail risk rises.
