With the shock of war, soaring inflation and a more aggressive stance on interest rates from central banks, can global equity markets take the pressure?
Despite the geopolitical fallout following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, global equity markets have remained relatively resilient so far. After an initial global market sell-off, the MSCI All-Country World Index has now returned to its pre-war levels, but are there more serious financial ramifications to come?
David McFadzean, head of wealth management, and Tom Caddick, chief investment officer, examined the events of Q1 2022 and discussed their impact on financial markets, what this could mean for investors over the coming months and how our portfolios are positioned to respond.

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.
