Charting a path through 2026
In our Mid-Year Investment Outlook events, we explore how investors can navigate a world shaped by geopolitical uncertainty, elevated volatility and shifting cross-asset correlations - while staying focused on the structural forces reshaping the global economy.

While the world is facing significant challenges, we see that there are still a lot of opportunities for well-informed investors and strategic clients.

Our four investments priorities are:
Invest in the AI-led future
While some believe that AI is overhyped, we think that it is probably underhyped, with opportunities in semiconductors, data centres, and innovative AI adopters across sectors.
Benefit from government focus on security and energy independence
As industrial polices and national security strategies become increasingly prominent, there will be greater demand for diversified energy supply, as well as investment in defence.
Build portfolio resilience with multi-asset strategies
Amid persistent market volatility, diversification becomes a top priority. Bonds and gold can be complemented with alternative investments – such as hedge funds and private markets.
Tap into Asia’s innovation and income opportunities
To capture Asia’s economic growth, innovation, and expanding margins, we take a balanced approach of direct exposure to key themes like the region’s data centre boom, alongside income from both the stock market and bonds.
