Our 2026 mid-year outlook: Capital in motion
The first half of the year has reinforced a simple reality: markets are no longer driven by economics alone. Geopolitics, trade, strategic resources and autonomy in key sectors such as defence, energy and infrastructure are increasingly intertwined, and capital is moving accordingly.
In this context, diversification is not simply a defensive concept. It is a way of exposing portfolios to a range of potential drivers of return, while also including assets that may behave differently when conditions change. Within equities, this is reflected in how we position across regions and sectors.
In the US, we continue to hold our equal-weighted index to diversify from the concentrated AI trade. European equities have lagged a bit this year, given their higher sensitivity to energy prices. However, we don’t want to reduce our current neutral allocation yet, as a potential end to the conflict might trigger a tactical rebound.
