Investment Managers Survey

US Equities performed well over the quarter, driven albeit mainly by the ‘Magnificent Seven’ US tech mega-cap stocks. Talk of the US interest rate trajectory has moved from a ‘pivot’ in the Fed’s strategy by the end of the year through a ‘pause’ in rate rises to just a a ‘skip’. While most managers expect that rates will stay higher for longer, most are more positive about avoiding a recession this year and predicting a ‘soft landing’. Based on our survey, the number of managers expecting a global recession dropped from 75% to 55%.

UK sentiment was more muted with concerns over the BOE’s ability to bring inflation under control and poor equity performance due mainly to concerns over resource stocks and Sterling’s strength. As a result, the MPI Sterling Indices, which are based on over 120,000 client portfolios, turned in -0.83% for low-risk mandates, -0.38% for medium-risk and 0.75% high-risk.
