Stock markets began 2021 buoyantly given the late 2020 news about vaccines. And, although it’s been known for markets to price in future events up to two years in advance, we remain caught in a transition phase.
On the one hand, there have been sufficient reasons to be optimistic about a sharp vaccine-led recovery. On the other, the third wave of the pandemic in Europe has been threatening to derail economic progress. The spectre of inflation also spooked investors, as we saw in bond yields.
But what can investors expect in the short to medium term, while keeping their eye on their long-term goals? David McFadzean, head of wealth management, and our new chief investment officer, Tom Caddick, discussed recent trends in financial markets, how these might affect investors in the coming months and how our portfolios are positioned to respond.
We regularly publish company updates, as well as insights as to what’s happening in financial markets or how you can management your wealth. Just submit your email address to receive the updates in your inbox.

The value of investments can fall, as well as rise, and you might not get back the original amount invested. Exchange rate changes affect the value of investments. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future returns. Any individual investment or security mentioned may be included in clients’ portfolios and is referenced for illustrative purposes only, not as a recommendation, not least as it may not be suitable. You should always seek professional advice before making any investment decisions.
