Investment compass – April 2021
The monthly newsletter includes a topical editorial, our positioning including the conclusions from the analyses, a market overview of the most important asset classes, an assessment of the current economic situation in various regions, and our current model portfolios.
Positioning
Realizing gains on real estate investments
The markets seem to have factored in the end of the pandemic to a large extent. This means that neutral equity market positioning and the realization of gains on listed real estate funds is advisable.
We regard a sharp rise in premiums as a sign that a more cautious approach is required.
Market overview
Rising interest rates grind to a halt
The markets remain in a buoyant mood. The brighter economic outlook is driving equity markets to new record highs. Swiss real estate funds are set to surge. Despite the positive environment, the Swiss franc’s downward trend is coming to a halt.
Economy
Inflation soars
A year ago, coronavirus caused oil and commodity prices to collapse. Prices and the global economy have both since recovered, which has resulted in a rise in inflation rates year-on-year. Some emerging markets have been forced to raise key rates due to rising inflation.
Model portfolios
Tactical restraint
New drivers will have to emerge on the markets in the coming weeks. In such market phases of reorientation, it proves worthwhile to position oneself close to the investment strategy.
