The Lander Report - Market & Portfolio Insights

Welcome to the latest edition of The Lander Report.

In this quarterly video update, Dynamic Asset's Portfolio Manager, Dr Jerome Lander examines the current state across the economy and markets, and the impacts of inflation, interest rates and geopolitical tensions.

Dr Jerome Lander’s key insights for financial advisers:

• The market has changed - we're no longer in a period of peaceful prosperity with rising asset prices as a given

• Deglobalisation, geopolitical unrest and ongoing impacts of the Covid crisis affect inflation, which is likely to be more persistent than first hoped for

• Supply-side issues: commodity scarcity, energy scarcity and the need to generate local manufacturing will be ongoing and affect company margins and will see asset prices derated - reflecting a bear market

• Central Banks can't solve supply-side issues, they can only manage demand
  
  
• Central Banks policy mistakes have increased as they walk the tight rope on tolerating rising inflation, where people get poorer vs creating a recession by limiting demand
  
  
• If client portfolios have any chance of delivering in the next 5 to 10 years we need to manage portfolios differently
  
  
• Differentiated portfolio design and diversification of portfolios mitigates sequencing risk and market volatility.
