Market and portfolio review

The last quarter of 2022 saw a continuation of monetary policy tightening by Western developed central banks, although many reduced the size of their rate hikes. The 2s-10s yield curve inverted more deeply during this period. The effects of rapid and aggressive policy tightening on economic growth became more evident. Leading economic indicators continue to weaken, suggesting that growth is likely to be below trend across regions. Inflation appeared to peak in some major Western economies later in 2022, including the United States and Canada. However, it remains substantially higher than central bank inflation targets. The U.S. dollar weakened against other major currencies in the fourth quarter. Anticipation of a U.S. Federal Reserve pause in the near future, along with expectations of other central banks becoming more hawkish in relative terms, contributed to the dollar’s relative softening.


The final quarter of 2022 offered a reprieve for both global equities and global fixed income, with major asset classes posting positive returns after a challenging environment in the first three quarters of the year.


Alternative asset classes also experienced gains in the fourth quarter. Commodities posted positive returns, with industrials and precious metals performing particularly well. Global REITs also posted gains, rebounding after losses in the third quarter.

Future investment strategy

Not surprisingly, the outlook for 2023 is largely dependent on the path of monetary policy, which in turn is heavily reliant on the path of inflation. Our base case is that inflation will moderate, leading to a pause in central bank tightening in the first half of 2023. We expect a rising global risk appetite, reflecting a positive repricing of recession risks in terms of timing, duration and magnitude.


In the shorter term, we expect a tug of war between “risk on” and “risk off” market environments. However, as the year unfolds, we expect risk assets to perform better, which is likely to result in better relative performance for equity markets in value-oriented regions and cyclical sectors of the stock market, as well as risky credit and investment grade credit. Currency preferences include the Australian dollar, Canadian dollar and Brazilian real as we expect the U.S. dollar to continue to weaken.
