Scott Minerd discusses the importance of transitioning sustainable development into an institutional asset class.
Market volatility is rising as the Fed continues with its asset purchase program. The economy also appears increasingly vulnerable to a rise in interest rates, which would have an adverse effect on housing in particular.
Ongoing monetary stimulus is leading to heightened volatility, and the bull market which has been in place since 2009 is becoming overextended. The recent string of surprise downside moves in markets may be the canary in the coal mine for global investors.
The pace of policy reforms is accelerating and economic recovery appears to be on the horizon for the European Union.
Quantitative easing has benefited from global macro events and appears likely to continue for the rest of the year. Markets, though, will continue to anticipate how the current policies will eventually be unwound.
The devaluation of the Japanese yen may lead EU policymakers to implement measures that will help the economic situation in the single currency zone.
Emerging markets still provide excellent opportunities for outperformance in equities, with Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Singapore being among the best positioned for the decade ahead.
Market forces are correcting the growth dichotomy between the European Union's core and periphery, thus improving the outlook for the region.
Speculation over the reduction or expansion of quantitative easing largely amounts to market noise.
Although the long-term economic picture remains sanguine, a number of global risks and economic results point to a temporary period of consolidation in equity markets.
Monetary policy in Japan will continue to drive investors in that country to overseas markets, which will affect global asset prices and bond yields.
