Tactical change – 10 May 2018

10 May 2018
Trevor Greetham, Head of Multi Asset at Royal London Asset Management, has made a tactical change to the asset allocation of the Governed Portfolios (GPs) and Governed Retirement Income Portfolios (GRIPs).

What’s changing?

Our Investment Clock remains in its ‘Overheat’ phase, with increased risk of inflation, although the global economy is showing some signs of slowing.

With investor sentiment staying neutral, we have taken further profits on the extra equities purchases made during the market lows and March; we also reduced the overweight allocation to commodities.

Proceeds of these sales were moved into government bonds and cash. Longer term, we remain positive on stocks and are overweight global equities, global high yield bonds and commodities.
