Justin Onuekwusi, Head of Retail Multi-Asset Funds at Legal & General Investment Management, discusses with our Wealth team how their investments have performed during the pandemic and shares his thoughts on the outlook for the future.  

The three key areas of discussion in the video are:

1. Update on markets and investments over the past year
2. What changes the team have been making
3. Where do we go from here?

Justin comments: “In February we saw the quickest market crash in history following the emergence of Covid-19 and the realisation that this was going to be a global problem. We have since seen markets rebound and I talk about what we have done to manage our investments throughout the crisis. 

“At Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM) we believe in investing in technology stocks but are nervous at just how big some companies have become, and I share some information on what we have been doing to manage this risk.   

“We have repositioned the portfolios to benefit as economies begin to reopen, investing in some recently unloved areas such as travel, leisure, automobiles and railways. 

“I sum up the video by talking about our outlook and include a brief summary of where we are against the three key indicators we use; economic cycle, valuations and risks, where we remain broadly positive overall.”
