A sustainability revolution is underway

A sustainability revolution is underway, which will drive economic and investment outcomes over the long term.

On 12 March, the Lombard Odier Rethink Responsible Capital symposium brought together political, business and investment leaders to discuss how our world is changing in the face of significant social and environmental challenges, and how investors can gear their portfolios for this new paradigm.

As Al Gore, former US Vice President and co-founder of Generation Investment Management told the audience during his keynote speech: “The sustainability revolution is the single largest investment opportunity in history.”

Hedge funds: a key to post-QE portfolio returns?

Hedge funds: a key to post-QE portfolio returns?

As well as structural inefficiencies, lacklustre hedge fund performance in recent years can be attributed to a combination of low interest rates, depressed volatility, high inter- and intra-market correlations and the impact of valuation-insensitive investors. Each of these cyclical headwinds is showing clear signs of easing, and HF performance has already improved across the board in step with this changing environment. As the monetary policy environment continues to normalise and volatility picks up, we see a stronger case for HF allocation.

Russia: A market poised for the spotlight

After two years of economic difficulties triggered by trembling oil prices and international sanctions, we believe Russia’s economy is firmly on the road to recovery with real GDP growth expected to have reached 1.7% in 2017, according to the World Bank. While there are, of course, challenges that the economy must overcome, we forecast that the positive momentum that began in 2017 will build over the year to come.
