Global Asset Allocation Views

Global growth is above trend, but changes to U.S. trade policy and the impact of higher U.S. rates have increased risks to our outlook. We overweight stocks, but trim our positioning, upgrade duration to a small overweight and remain neutral on credit.

Global Fixed Income Views

Themes and implications from the Global Fixed Income, Currency & Commodities Investment Quarterly meeting.

Global Equity Views

We are a little more cautious amid rising U.S. rates and economic and profits cycles that are long by historical standards. We find opportunity in out-of-favor areas including emerging markets and Europe, and many financial stocks look attractive.

Factor Views

Themes from the quarterly Quantitative Beta Research Summit

Emerging Market Strategy

Emerging Market Debt Strategy
