In December, David Appleton, Senior Investment Director of Risk Managed Funds at Cornelian, provided our Wealth team with his commentary:

After an extremely eventful and challenging 12 months with asset prices fluctuating widely, the importance of portfolio diversification and active asset management has been illustrated.

Caution over the weight of global economy debt

The weight of the global economies debts means that the medium- and long-term outlook remains one of low growth, low inflation and low interest rates. Therefore, over time, assets that benefit from a deflation narrative are likely to reassert their long term trend of out performance, and in this case, active management will be crucial to navigate the twists and turns in the markets in the years ahead.
