The Savvy Investor Global Strategy outlook section consists of the latest reports, articles and white papers on the variables influencing the asset allocation decisions of the global multi-asset institutional investor.
Global strategists’ study and monitor the market variables that determine asset prices around the world. A global strategist recommends which assets to invest client money in and in what proportion. Monitored asset classes will primarily include equities, bonds, and real estate. However, alternative assets such as hedge funds, commodities, private equity, gold, and currencies may also be reviewed...

By continuously studying asset prices and their performance, the global strategist can determine the optimum risk adjusted exposure to each asset class in a portfolio. In turn, this helps him or her to establish a portfolio’s overall asset allocation. As market conditions and global asset prices are subject to change, asset allocation may be amended on a short-term basis. This is known as tactical asset allocation.
Since global strategy tends to be longer-term in nature, Savvy Investor’s Global Strategy white papers and articles aim to analyse the structural and cyclical trends that shape portfolio asset allocation. These trends, which can be societal, cultural and demographic, have a financial impact on economies as well as asset prices.
For asset allocators with a global investment remit, articles on the relative value of equity markets, as measured by the Shiller P/E together with research on FX hedging costs, are required reading and are especially relevant for managers wishing to model capital return assumptions in constant currency terms.
