Industry Voice: Positioning against heightened market risk

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has created further market risk. We see five key downside risks at present: stretched valuations, the looming end of central bank stimulus, the normalization of earnings growth, a worsening inflation outlook, and rising geopolitical risk. The Asset Allocation Committee has maintained the cautious positioning we adopted at the beginning of the year.
