Investment Line is a regular investment bulletin produced by Mattioli Woods plc. The communication provides an update on funds, highlights some of the areas we are focusing on, and shares our thoughts on the issues of the day.
Our core views remain unchanged with portfolios looking about right given the outlook and current valuations.
OVERSEAS EQUITIES
Nothing has really shifted here – we are slightly adding to US equities in growth portfolios but this will be focused on value stock opportunities.
UK EQUITIES
The UK looks well placed in relative valuation terms – delays to opening up the economy will be unhelpful but should not prove too detrimental.
SPECIALIST
The themes offer a breadth of opportunity in areas which should continue to do well even in a challenging environment.
FIXED INCOME
The outlook appears broadly unchanged though the threat of inflation means we continue to discuss the prospects for Treasuries and whether we should switch to the index linked version. For now, no changes.
PROPERTY
Allocations remain unaltered – our diversification by sector should provide support.
ALTERNATIVE STRATEGIES
There will some re-ordering of holdings given the review discussed overleaf. An appropriate blend of protective and novel ideas will be used across the portfolios.
CASH
Cash levels remain unchanged.
