CIO Insights: Policy-Driven Economies: An Investor's Dilemma?

In this quarterly edition of the CIO Insights, the analysis is on the economic consequences of government policies, assessment of risk and uncertainty in financial markets, and a focus on generating returns in a low-growth world. There is also a look at renewed confidence in emerging markets, as well as a summary of our economic and market forecasts. While forecasts cannot directly measure risk, they do provide a way of understanding what is possible and what is not—and thus how to position portfolios accordingly.
