In this episode of Ruffer Radio, Investment Director, Matt Smith looks ahead at what investors can expect in 2022.

We briefly review the investments which worked well in Ruffer portfolios last year (and those that didn’t) and assess the opportunities and challenges arising from the return of economic, market and inflation volatility. 

2021 Q4 Investment Review
January 2022: In his latest Investment Review, Jonathan Ruffer warns of the tide coming in for inflation, “brought about in a series of waves of increasing severity”. It is important to remember what happens on the shoreline as the tide comes in – hour on hour it advances along the coastline, but there are moments, between the waves, when the sea appears to retreat. So it will be with inflation: not a straight line, but plenty of volatility headed our way.

Past performance is not a guide to future performance. The value of investments and the income derived therefrom can decrease as well as increase and you may not get back the full amount originally invested. Ruffer performance is shown after deduction of all fees and management charges, and on the basis of income being reinvested. The value of overseas investments will be influenced by the rate of exchange.

Minds over matter
Whilst technology has transformed stock markets over the centuries, they are underpinned by human traits like fear and greed, which remain unaltered. But one key recent change has been to markets’ purpose, and this risks severe instability.

April 2024: Jonathan Ruffer discusses the stock market’s seemingly invincible summer. This has created distortions in both debt and equity markets, and with them, opportunities to benefit from a change in the season.
