Equilibrium Quarterly Bulletin | 27 February 2025
|
Learning: Knowledge
At our virtual Equilibrium Quarterly Bulletin on 27 February we reflected on 2024’s investment lessons and key market shifts, while looking ahead to 2025.
There is no absence of headline-grabbing global events, which continue to generate noise and capture investors' attention. Will the ‘Magnificent Seven’ continue to drive the US market or is broader market growth on the horizon? With the re-election of President Trump, what can we expect in terms of volatility and economic growth? And how will Trump’s policies affect emerging market investments? South Africa's equity and bond valuations remain attractive, underpinned by lower inflation and political certainty. But how can SA capitalise on its current tailwinds to unlock its economic potential?
Lejda Bargjo, our guest speaker from Robeco, who is the deputy head of quants, shared how the company’s process is complementary to traditional portfolios. With access to alternative data points, she talked us through the benefits of removing all emotional and behavioural biases in decision-making to generate better risk-adjusted returns.
