Five things investors should be prepared for in 2023
By Robbie Lawther, 11 Jan 23
Inflation and interest rates still high on the agenda
2023 will be a better year for diversification
Quilter Cheviot’s Henry added: “2022 was an appalling year for the two core portfolio asset classes.
“I really would be surprised if both equities and bonds both have another bad year – bonds in particular.
“The starting yield for bonds at the beginning of 2023 is not only much higher than it was last year, providing more of a cushion and higher potential to offset equity market volatility – but fixed income investments also tend to do well in the early innings of a recession.
“Inflation remaining far stickier than expected, or even rising again, is really the only way I could see bonds having a rough year – and for the reasons I have outlined above, I don’t see that happening.”
