The changing environment for multi-asset funds – panel discussion video #1

In the post financial crisis period, low interest rates and quantitative easing lifted all boats. It was both an easy time for multi-asset managers – because returns from financial assets went up – and a difficult one – because it was very difficult to beat a portfolio of tech stocks and long-dated government bonds. Today, the environment looks very different, with inflation persistent and interest rates far higher. How are multi-asset funds adapting? Premier Miton’s Daniel Hughes, Schroders’ Olivia Geldenhuys, and abrdn’s Mark Lane discuss this further.
