The Ruffer team answer questions on markets, the economic outlook and the Ruffer strategy.

Since the pandemic, the outperformance of the US has been notable, but significant structural headwinds are emerging. With European fiscal expansion, rising competition from Chinese technology, persistent deficits, inflation risks and growing geopolitical disorder, many investors may need to reassess their portfolio positioning. Despite these clear shifts, most investors are yet to shift their asset allocations.

Fiona Ker, Fund Manager, and Gemma Cairns-Smith, Investment Specialist, share Ruffer’s latest views on global markets, explain how we are positioning portfolios to navigate these dynamics, and outline where we see the greatest risks and opportunities ahead. Hosted by Jack Dunne, Director – Private Wealth, the webinar includes a short presentation followed by a live Q&A.
