00:00:00.050 --> 00:00:03.937
Leaving us with some of the stock market impact of all this. Gabriela

00:00:03.937 --> 00:00:06.927
Santos, Global market strategist at JP Morgan Asset Management, want

00:00:06.927 --> 00:00:10.515
to get to your latest strategy? Thinking Gabriel? But first, as we

00:00:10.515 --> 00:00:14.103
await the President here and as we're talking about some of the

00:00:14.103 --> 00:00:16.794
geopolitical concerns and the spillover effect to energy, how

00:00:16.794 --> 00:00:19.485
concerned should U.S. equity investors be about this unfolding

00:00:19.485 --> 00:00:22.774
scenario? What are you telling your clients? So what we're telling

00:00:22.774 --> 00:00:26.661
our clients at the moment is that this might be one of the

00:00:26.661 --> 00:00:29.950
geopolitical examples that have a very fleeting impact in the market.

00:00:30.070 --> 00:00:34.678
That's our base case. Unless we see an escalation in the conflict

00:00:34.678 --> 00:00:38.902
that merits harsh economic sanctions which could then result in cuts

00:00:38.902 --> 00:00:43.894
and energy supply by Russia to Europe. In that case, we would then

00:00:43.894 --> 00:00:48.886
see an energy price shock, and we would see growth concerns. We don't

00:00:48.886 --> 00:00:53.494
think that's being priced in at the moment. It's a possibility, not

00:00:53.494 --> 00:00:58.102
the base case. We don't think the volatility is related to growth

00:00:58.102 --> 00:01:00.022
concerns because otherwise wouldn't have.

00:01:00.100 --> 00:01:03.580
Financials outperforming the index by 900 basis points and you

00:01:03.580 --> 00:01:07.060
wouldn't have emerging markets outperforming the US by 800 basis

00:01:07.060 --> 00:01:11.932
points. So we just remind her of esters. That's why we have hedges in

00:01:11.932 --> 00:01:17.152
place just in case. But for now, let's focus on the main risk for the

00:01:17.152 --> 00:01:21.328
market, which is the surge in real yields and the implications for

00:01:21.328 --> 00:01:24.460
valuations and positioning. So let's talk about that positioning.

00:01:24.460 --> 00:01:27.592
Gabriela, you're making some interesting recommendations in terms of

00:01:27.592 --> 00:01:30.028
reallocating within the tech sector and reallocating.

00:01:30.290 --> 00:01:33.670
Out of the tech sector, how do you think about both those things?

00:01:34.610 --> 00:01:38.575
So we are really saying listen to what central banks are saying. They

00:01:38.575 --> 00:01:42.235
see a much stronger growth with much more inflation. Upside this is

00:01:42.235 --> 00:01:45.895
going to be a much quicker withdrawal liquidity than last time. So

00:01:45.895 --> 00:01:49.555
rates are going to continue moving higher and valuations are going to

00:01:49.555 --> 00:01:53.215
matter. So take a look at the portfolio. Don't let the market

00:01:53.215 --> 00:01:57.790
rebalance it for you. Do so now and to do so it means really think

00:01:57.790 --> 00:02:01.755
about using the the value factor, not the value style, but the value

00:02:01.755 --> 00:02:04.805
factor. Think about the price that you're paying for companies.

00:02:05.350 --> 00:02:08.820
Intersector, so for example with intact taking profit from more

00:02:08.820 --> 00:02:11.596
expensive areas like software into least expensive, like

00:02:11.596 --> 00:02:15.066
semiconductors. Also think about the value factor within the equity

00:02:15.066 --> 00:02:19.230
market, so from tech into financials and within regions. So take some

00:02:19.230 --> 00:02:23.047
profit in the US and think about Europe and emerging markets.

00:02:23.047 --> 00:02:27.558
Otherwise you're not going to get the kind of returns we expect over

00:02:27.558 --> 00:02:31.375
the next decade and project only four point, 3% annualized. That

00:02:31.375 --> 00:02:33.804
that's just not going to cut it.

00:02:35.170 --> 00:02:38.613
Those moves have kind of already been the case. Gabriella, that's

00:02:38.613 --> 00:02:41.430
what's that's what's worked. Semis over software financials over

00:02:41.430 --> 00:02:45.186
technology, so you so you expect these trends to continue and the

00:02:45.186 --> 00:02:48.629
volatility to stay. Is that what you're saying? Absolutely, we're not

00:02:48.629 --> 00:02:52.698
going to get any clarity anytime soon in terms of the new central

00:02:52.698 --> 00:02:56.141
bank blueprint. They're trying to figure it out themselves in real

00:02:56.141 --> 00:02:59.897
time, out loud. So we're going to continue seeing some volatility on

00:02:59.897 --> 00:03:03.966
the curve. We still don't think long and guilt are high enough for

00:03:03.966 --> 00:03:05.531
the kind of quantitative tightening.

00:03:05.610 --> 00:03:09.939
That we'll see on the balance sheet, so this is still very much

00:03:09.939 --> 00:03:13.602
a theme and think about the starting point. We had such

00:03:13.602 --> 00:03:16.599
distorted valuations in the market that the corrections that

00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:19.929
we've seen so far have still not corrected those distortions,

00:03:19.929 --> 00:03:23.592
so really important not to panic, but to take some thoughtful

00:03:23.592 --> 00:03:25.590
action here for the decade ahead.
