2024 OUTLOOK : Multiple risks, multiple opportunities

After a favourable year for the financial markets in 2023 despite a troubled international context, 2024 should see a change of era, according to the experts at Ostrum AM, an affiliate of Natixis Investment Managers. Investors will have to adapt to a new market environment now in the hands of lenders, with interest rates permanently above 2%. 2024 should be a year rich in investment opportunities, served by active management of risks that are a priori contained but growing: duration risks, default risks for governments and companies alike, and volatility risks, not to mention the growing risks associated with climate change. Against this demanding backdrop, Axel Botte, Head of Market Strategy, Alexandre Caminade, Head of Core Fixed Income and Liquid Alternatives, Philippe Berthelot, Head of Crédit and Money Markets, Frédéric Leguay, Head of Equity Insurance, and Emmanuel Bourdeix, CIO for Quantitative investment management, present Ostrum AM’s outlook for the economy and markets and outline the key investment strategies to generate performance in 2024.
