Asset Allocation Outlook May
April was a bleak month for investors. The only place to hide from the negative sentiment was commodities, for which the Bloomberg index noted a positive return of 4.1% .
Please see Kempen’s Asset Allocation Outlook for May. The highlights this month are:
- Growth slows around the world, consumers under pressure from high inflation
- Reining in inflation a priority for central banks
- Sound earnings growth in first quarter
- Investment policy: allocation to investment grade credits reduced to neutral
