Positive growth but with rising fragility

The latest edition of Fixed Income: A 360° View brings together the key debates and portfolio considerations from the most recent Portfolio Strategy Group (PSG) forum.

Key report takeaways

 

  • Global growth remains positive, but increasingly fragile. A narrow set of drivers is supporting activity, increasing sensitivity to shocks and widening the range of potential outcomes.
  • US growth is being supported by AI investment, but durability is uncertain. Productivity gains have yet to translate meaningfully beyond corporate margins.
  • Tariffs, energy and geopolitics add a layer of uncertainty. Outside of the US, cost pressures are more likely to lift inflation and weigh on growth, complicating policy trade-offs.
  • Wider dispersion places a premium on portfolio resilience over forecasts. Elevated uncertainty argues against concentrated macro positions and in favour of flexibility as conditions evolve.
