Recent Events
Q3 Asset Allocation Update
ASRs Asset Allocation Team discussed their Q3 Outlook and recent move to a more risk on stance. The team have upgraded Equites to overweight as earnings remain resilient and neither the labour market or financial markets are demonstrating any signs of stress.
Controversies, Conviction and Context

Ian Harnett, revisited some of the issues flagged in our recent Controversies, Conviction and Context report.
Controversy has been a feature of the Trump administration thus far - we believe the US administration is set on delivering a broad regime change and investors must cut through the ‘noise’ and explore how to be positioned for this.
Our key conviction is that the weaponization of trade will lead to the weaponization of capital, and with many investors over-exposed to US private assets.
The context for the discussion remains how the 1920s and 1930s tariff measures led to earnings shocks as large as seen in the GFC.
Germany: A New Political and Financial Chapter

ASR's German Political Consultant, Heinz Schulte and ASR's Head of Research, Nick Nelson discussed the new political and financial chapter for Germany. Why Merz deserves credit for forming his ‘working coalition' and why investors should watch his interactions with Trump and NATO closely, along with his proposals for an EDM.
Economics Q3 Update

Economics Q3 Update: How Trump’s policies are likely to reshape the global economy with the ASR Economics Team.
​
Dominic and his team will discuss why, despite resilient markets, there will be long lasting structural changes as a result of Trump’s policies. They will ultimately lead to slower growth, higher inflation and lower corporate profits. Investors’ attitudes towards US assets appear to have permanently altered, with the US dollar likely to be a casualty.
Globalisation: Lessons from History

Professor Jeffry Frieden in conversation with David Bowers explored the following questions:
Are there any historical parallels with the challenges to globalisation that we see today?
How does today compare to the period of de-globalisation that occurred in the first half of 20th century?
How do we understand the goals of the Administration’s trade policy?
What does the Administration’s trade policy portend for the future of the international trading system?
What are the financial implications of the Administration’s policies, both generally and with respect to monetary and financial policy?
