Market Risk Outlook for 2025

There was lots to unpack as 2024 drew to a close. Melissa Brown, Christoph Schon and Olivier d’Assier from the Investment Decision Research Team looked back at the year that was, but more importantly, analyzed the events with the most market-moving consequences and the potentially unforeseen risks bubbling under the surface.

But, this wasn’t just another state-of-the-world market commentary brief. Portfolio managers, risk managers and investment strategists should have a listen to get a better understanding of expectations for the risk environment along with potential changes in financial variables that can be fed into a range of stress tests.

The team dissected the key geopolitical and macro events that look to impact both equities and multi-asset portfolios to inform the scenarios for better risk analysis and portfolio rebalancing. Topics covered include:

• The future of stock-bond correlations
• The resurgence of a China-US trade war
• Interest rate scenarios and impact on portfolio and factor performance
• The impact of a Red White House
• If China will be able to avoid a Japan-like ‘lost decade’
