Talking heads – Be wary of wilting growth and mindful of green shoots
Thematic environmental strategies face countervailing forces in the near term. Support may come from the ‘green shoots’ of the recent growth stock recovery, offset by the downdraft of recessionary risk. Investors with a longer-term view should stay focused on the tailwinds and enduring drivers of demand including regulatory and legislative support. Hosted by Ausha.

Talking heads – Slow-motion recession leaves equities exposed

Talking heads – Energy crisis response should include faster transition
It is all hands on deck to deal with the current energy crisis, even if that forces countries to use more polluting fossil fuels to meet energy needs especially in the coming winter. However, that does not mean the transition to renewable resources should end up on the backburner. Instead, there is a clear case for accelerating the move to solar, wind and other sources of clean energy. Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Talking heads – Opportunity knocks for global loans
Senior secured corporate loans are debt instruments similar to high-yield bonds in that they are rated below investment-grade (Ba1/BB+). They differ from high-yield in that they are senior secured instruments, secured by all assets on a company’s balance sheet. In addition, as floating rate instruments, global loans are relatively immune to the adverse impact of rising interest rates. Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
