Established in 2009, Markets Summit is THE investment markets scene setter of the year. For the first time in decades, an inflationary gale is rattling financial markets. Many post-GFC tailwinds have gone into reverse, as we experience a regime shift from an era of globalisation, “rules-based” geopolitics, fiscal discipline, benign inflation, steady economic growth and ultra-loose monetary policy to one of localism, nationalism and war, fiscal largesse, soaring inflation, elevated recession risk and higher interest rates. This once-in-a-career regime shift poses many challenges for portfolio construction practitioners. The high VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity) market environment continues!
