Hot Topic: Income from Multi Asset

Advisers are considering the best approach for dealing with the twin challenges of huge rises in inflation and volatile markets. Certified Content. A medium read and a 60 min watch. Octo Members brought together a multi-asset specialist and a global equity fund manager to debate the issue with Vincent McEntegart, investment manager in Aegon’s Multi-Asset Investing team and manager of the Aegon Diversified Monthly Income Fund and Graham Campbell, CEO at Saracen Fund Managers and co-manager of the Global Income & Growth Fund offering their views and analysis. Assessing the situation, Campbell said: “Clients are definitely concerned, and looking at portfolios, because they're worried about inflation. And for those of us who remember high inflation, we also remember how difficult it is - once it starts - to be eradicated. Advisers are interested in sheltering their clients from inflation but also looking at the balance of portfolios perhaps moving from a growth towards a more value approach as well.” In this broad ranging debate the panel discuss the role of central banks, the challenges ahead for different economies and markets, the signs to look out for and the opportunities.
