Targeting real returns with worldwide growth

Our experts debated the following issues:
  • Investors are still reducing their allocation to equities. What role do equities play in a portfolio today? Is the global equity risk premium still worth it?
  • Looking ahead, why will active management be so important when it comes to global equity markets?
  • How will a rising real rate environment affect global equities and how should investors respond?
  • How should investors deal with macro-economic factors such as low oil price, low inflation, Grexit and a strengthening dollar in their equity portfolios?
  • Are areas of the equity market in a bubble?
These and many further questions discussed by (from left to right)

  • Graham Mason, head of investment – equity, multi asset & retail fixed income, M&G
