The ideas outlined represent our observations on the challenges, opportunities and drivers of change present in the current investment environment. We provide these ideas with the aim of provoking discussion, but the appropriate response at an investor-level will be heavily influenced by the specific beliefs, objectives, and constraints of each investor. We look forward to helping investors adapt their strategies as new risks and opportunities arise over the course of 2018.
