Key Topics
In our latest episode of The Astute Investor, Scott Haslem, Chief Investment Officer at LGT Crestone and Matthew Tan, Head of Asset Allocation discusses how the new ‘multi-polar’ world is impacting our investment and portfolio decisions. More specifically, Scott and Matt discuss how we are navigating the seemingly endless geo-political developments in light of the recent Iran-Israel conflict.
During the podcast, Matt reiterates the importance of “keeping calm under fire” by detailing how we are applying our secular outlook to our investment framework—to help us navigate through the current economic and market conditions.
Matt and Scott detail how the team are:
• applying constraints-based methodology to focus on key macro and market-relevant signposts;
• considering the near-term outlook through scenario-based analysis; and
• outlining the near-term and long-term investment implications stemming from this latest Middle East conflict.
Scott and Matt then discuss our longer-term view with detail on our 6–12-month positioning and Tactical Asset Allocation by outlining the associated risks in the current environment and our focus on non-US equities.
