Overweight in commodities
Also a hedge against inflation and geopolitical risks
2022 got off to a turbulent start with a growing Russian military presence on the Ukrainian border and airstrikes by Houthi rebels in Yemen on an oil facility in Abu Dhabi.
In addition, inflation in Europe and the U.S. is at a record high. Despite this, economic growth looks promising for 2022. Inflation will be with us longer than expected but should moderate again towards the end of the year.
In this market environment with solid growth and no recession, we continue to favor equities over bonds. We overweight alternative investments and commodities.
