Wealth Outlook 2024
Our global economic outlook for the year ahead.
Growth will slow in early 2024, but we see no synchronized collapse across the global economy, as many fear.
While it may not seem like it now, our analysis suggests that the global economy is healing and poised for further recovery, full of potential opportunities to build profitable and resilient portfolios.
Our Wealth Outlook in 60s. What might 2024 hold in store for the global economy and markets?
Taking advantage of the market’s big reset
While it may not seem like it just now, our analysis suggests that the global economy is healing and poised for further recovery, full of potential opportunities to build profitable and resilient portfolios.
This is a good time to be a global investor, maybe even a very good time.
If you find that hard to believe, you are not alone.
In 2023, we have seen moments when investors were absolutely sure that equities were headed lower (September) and when investors were absolutely sure that rates could only go higher1.In both cases, investor sentiment proved wrong. Nevertheless, as of the week ending November 15, investor confidence as measured by the American Association of Individual Investors stood at 16% net bullish, hardly a ringing endorsement for the future.2
With war in Ukraine and Israel, tensions ongoing between the US and China, impending contentious presidential elections in the US and six other countries, gridlock in the US Congress and abounding doomsday scenarios about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI), it is not easy to have a clear vision on the direction of markets. Meanwhile, 5% annualized short-term rates are distracting investors, encouraging them to quietly become market timers.
