Introduction

By David Thorpe

Investors have had much to cope with in 2023, with a constantly shifting narrative around inflation and the economic outlook, combined with geopolitical risks being elevated. 

But as we reach the halfway point of the year, what are likely to be the drivers of returns across the various asset class, and in multi-asset portfolios?

This guide will explore those questions for global equities, UK equities, bonds and multi-asset portfolios. 

This guide comes with 60 minutes of CPD.
