Click play below to view a recording of our latest webinar titled “Risk management strategies to counter the growing risk of inflation.”
What was covered
With equity prices at speculative all-time highs, higher than expected inflation growth could cause sudden share market sell downs, as bond yields improve and expectations of earnings growth drop. That moment could be upon us sooner than expected.
The US Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee in July released substantially upgraded GDP growth and inflation forecasts, with the key projection for core inflation rising from 2.2 per cent, up to 3 per cent and interest rate expected sooner than previously forecast.^
For months leading economists have warned of the potential for a sudden loss of confidence and a major collapse of asset values. How prepared is your portfolio for the next major correction?
Hosts Nicolas Bryon and Habib Chebli showed how the Atlantic Pacific Australian Equity Fund (APAEF) is proactively repositioning our portfolio holdings to provide protection against sudden adverse market movements, and lessons for your own investment strategies.
