Material ESG concerns such as severe weather events from climate change, supply chain disruption, nature and biodiversity loss, data privacy concerns and more have real-world implications for business and finance.

What to expect:

- Explore how materiality frameworks have evolved and how they impact investment strategies, from single to double and dynamic
- The data investors need to effectively assess and integrate risks and opportunities 
- How varying segments might utilise different approaches in their strategy and address different priorities 
- How emerging regulation such as CRD, CRFD may impact approaches and strategy

Master Portfolio Management with Morningstar Direct Lens

As we enter the final quarter of 2024, what kind of market plays should one make to end the year on a high? Last quarter was marked by a fair amount of volatility, with Nvidia and TSMC creating news headlines amidst a global market sell-off. Even Japan, the darling of many global investors was not immune, with US$1.1 trillion shed in value from Japanese equities in August, while China continues to struggle with charting a clear path to economic recovery.
 
Is Asia primed to take advantage of the Fed’s rate cuts, and how would this affect different sectors in Asia? More importantly, is there still value in the region? Join Morningstar’s experts as they review trends in portfolio construction, asset allocation, and the regional equity markets.

Q4 Asia Investment Outlook: Will it get better in 2025?

The great rotation into value stocks as well as mid- and small-cap stocks finally began in July 2024. Since the public release of ChatGPT, the market has been singularly focused on the growth opportunities from artificial intelligence. As those large-cap, growth stocks most closely tied to AI skyrocketed, small-cap and value stocks were left in the dust. In our last quarterly outlook, we reviewed why we thought the AI trade had run its course and that market returns would begin to broaden out. In this quarter’s webinar, we are going to review why we think this rotation has further room to run.   

Join Morningstar’s Chief U.S. Market Strategist Dave Sekera, CFA, and Chief U.S. Economist Preston Caldwell, as they review why we expect the economy will dodge a recession and which areas in the market still offer upside opportunities.  

Learn where we see undervalued opportunities within a more than fully-valued market and how we expect the US economy will play out over the course of this year. We will:  

Break down our valuations and identify undervalued opportunities across categories, sectors, and stocks.   

Highlight investable contrarian plays.   

Provide our forecasts for real U.S. GDP, inflation, and interest rates.  

In our market outlook, we utilize a bottom-up perspective to determine market valuation. By leveraging the 1,600 companies covered by Morningstar's equity analysts, we identify which areas are undervalued versus which are overvalued. From growth stocks to value stocks and from small-cap to large-cap, we will identify where we see value today. Following the presentation, we take as many questions from the audience as time allows.

Build Reports that Matter: 4 Tips to Tell Your Investing Story

今年1月の新NISA開始より早くも半年が経とうとしています。現在四半期ごとに、モーニングスター・ジャパン、マネジャーリサーチ部門より「NISA概要レポート」もお届けしておりますが、今回はウェビナーにて2024年上半期の投信市場動向についてご説明させていただきます。

本ウェビナーではNISA概要レポート執筆者でマネジャーリサーチ部門を率いる元利 大輔（もとり だいすけ）が解説を行います。また、合わせてカスタマー・サクセス部門よりMorningstar Directを使用してのNISA関連ファンドの分析方法のご紹介もいたします。

ウェビナーの最後ではお時間の許す限りQ＆Aセッションも設ける予定ですので、是非当日のご参加をいただけますと幸いです。

モーニングスター、2024年上半期の投信市場動向解説

Over the past one and a half years, 56% of the market’s return can be attributed to just ten stocks–and no theme has been more dominant than artificial intelligence. Of these ten stocks, seven were rated either 4- or 5-stars at the beginning of 2023. However, at this point, only one remains 4-star rated and four are now rated 2-stars. Generally, the obvious beneficiaries from AI are largely fully valued to overvalued. Looking forward, we expect excess returns will come not from investing in themes, but from idiosyncratic situations among those stocks that have underperformed and are unloved—and most importantly—undervalued.

Learn where we see undervalued opportunities within a more than fully-valued market and how we expect the U.S. economy will play out over the course of this year. We will:

• Break down our valuations and identify undervalued opportunities across categories, sectors, and stocks.
• Highlight investable contrarian plays.
• Provide our forecasts for real U.S. GDP, inflation, and interest rates.

In our market outlook, we utilize a bottom-up perspective to determine market valuation. By leveraging off of the 1,500 companies covered by Morningstar's equity analysts, we identify which areas are undervalued versus which are overvalued. From growth stocks to value stocks and from small-cap to large-cap, we will identify where we see value today. Following the presentation, we take as many questions from the audience as time allows.

Morningstar Q3 2024 U.S. Market Outlook: Shifting from Thematic to Idiosyncratic

Climate change is one of the most pressing global issues of our time, and it has become a key consideration for investors building investment portfolios. In this webinar, we review the global climate funds landscape in 2023 and look at regional differences. We will also discuss the spectrum of climate strategies and their role in portfolios, from reducing climate-related risks to investing in climate-related opportunities. Including strategies such as Low Carbon, Climate Transition, Green bond, Climate Solutions and Clean Energy/Tech funds.            

We will look to answer questions such as: 

• What did capital flows into climate funds look like in 2023? 
• How do climate funds stack up against various climate metrics and what’s inside these funds?
• What are the most prominent Climate Solutions themes?
• Which role does regulation play in the creation and investment in climate funds?
• How can investment professionals use Morningstar Data and Reporting Solutions to bring their Climate strategies to life?

Investing in Times of Climate Change - 2023 in Review

Over the past year, markets have soared higher, yet returns have been concentrated in a handful of stocks. As these stocks are now fully to overvalued and momentum starts to fade, we look to contrarian plays to invest. Focus on those stocks that have underperformed and are unloved—and most importantly—undervalued. 

Join Morningstar’s Dave Sekera, CFA, Chief U.S. Market Strategist and Preston Caldwell, Chief U.S. Economist as they review why we expect the economy will dodge a recession and which areas in the market still offer upside opportunities.

After four years of suffering from long-Covid, 2024 is lining up to be the year that the economy and individual behavior have finally recovered and normalized. The massive disruptions and dislocations caused by the pandemic are rapidly fading in the rearview mirror and we think it’s time for investors to get back to basics. While we forecast the rate of economic growth will slow and stocks have already rallied off their lows, we still see multiple undervalued areas that provide relatively large margins of safety. 

Join Morningstar’s Dave Sekera, CFA, Chief U.S. Market Strategist and Preston Caldwell, Chief U.S. Economist as they review why we expect the economy will dodge a recession and which areas in the market still offer upside opportunities.  

Learn why we view the U.S. equity market as undervalued, how we expect the U.S. economy will play out over the course of this year and next. We will:
