Inflation/growth : The big gap on the markets?

With inflation rising at the beginning of the year at a level not seen for more than a quarter of a century, central banks are facing a dilemma and are being forced to raise rates faster than expected. Uncertainty about the impact of rate hikes, compounded by the current geopolitical situation with the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, is causing investors to fear a possible recession. Asset managers are now obliged to adapt their investment strategies in order to be able to offer advantageous solutions that allow investors to protect themselves from inflation or to take advantage of the current environment.

Insurers: why sustainability matters

The insurance industry is highly affected by climate change. ESG has become a more global challenge for shareholders, customers, employees, suppliers and communities. Consequently, insurers must consider environmental, social and governance risks and opportunities within their strategies, as insurers and investors. Although they are primarily affected by environmental issues – physical and transition risks – they are also impacted by societal transformation and governance issues. Insurers need to adapt and innovate to remain competitive. This is a key concern, currently and for coming years.
