OuterblueOuterblue Talks Research - The “Day After” series – A possible inflationary cocktailIn the short term, the coronavirus pandemic is clearly likely to mean volatility in inflation figures, given factors pulling in opposite directions. In the longer term, and after four decades of low inflation across most economies, a new high-inflation regime may happen.
In light of this, investors will need to reassess their strategic asset allocation to include investments that could help mitigate inflation risk (i.e. real assets, commodities, gold, infrastructure, inflation-linked bonds), but also be ready to tactically readjust their investment decisions based on the inflation outlook.

OuterblueOuterblue Talks Research - The "Day After" series - Social inequalities, a rising theme on investors' shelfSocial inequality has become a major issue for investors. Over the 2016-2019 period, the ‘S’ criteria in company selection (via a ‘best in class’ ESG approach) had a real impact on the prices of listed companies, particularly in Europe (Roncalli et al, 2019). A priori, the more a country was mired in inequality before a crisis and especially this one, the more the response could be massive at the end: investors should therefore fully consider this factor in their assessment of the relative economic situation of different countries.
