Vast Capital Markets, Diverse Sources of Returns

As the world’s largest economy and home to the biggest financial markets, the US is an integral component of any global investment plan. More than two-thirds of the world’s large-cap companies are based in the US, offering diverse sources of earnings growth and income potential.

Drivers of Change and Innovation

The US offers potential for strong long-term growth and income generation. For decades, the US market has been a hotbed of innovation, with companies in diverse sectors leading disruptive trends that support investment return potential. But it takes skill and expertise to actively seek out the most attractive investment opportunities, while managing risk and volatility with experience and aplomb. 

Policy Change

While the new political environment has created uncertainty, the current US administration’s policy agenda is expected to have a positive impact on many US companies. In particular, tax cuts and deregulation could help support earnings’ growth. While tariffs and an escalating trade war do add risks, many US firms are less sensitive to international trade than firms in Europe and Asia. We believe this environment calls for diversification and active investing to distinguish between companies that are best placed to surmount evolving challenges. 

A Large and Liquid Market

The US equity and fixed income markets are among the largest and most liquid in the world. This enhances diversification by providing a wide range of investment options and the ability to enter and exit positions more easily in many market scenarios.

The value of an investment can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the full amount they invested. Capital is at risk. There can be no assurance that any investment objectives will be achieved.
