A briefing on how the resurgence of geopolitics and fracturing of the global economy into US- and China-aligned blocs will affect returns from equities and bonds in the years ahead.
The discussion will address key takeaways from our recent fracturing project, including:
· Why fracturing won’t simply mean a reversal of globalisation’s boost for DM asset prices;
· How the consequences of fracturing will depend firms’ level of exposure to China;
· How asset prices in the China-aligned bloc will be more vulnerable from fracturing’s fallout.
