MARKET OUTLOOK
Our view remains that we are in a long-term structural bull market. Equity markets will have a lot to churn through here as we reopen the global economy. At this point, the rally off of March lows has discounted a lot. Much has changed over the last few months, from consumer trends to the way business is conducted. As such, we favour large-cap ideas exposed to industries and themes that benefit from these changes. Equity markets sit bifurcated with the world looking better post-COVID than it did pre-COVID for some sectors, while some sectors, specifically financials and industrials, remain challenged.
