US company executives can tend to be ‘hardwired’ for optimism but, after the Trump rally at the end of 2024, euphoria has given way to an environment of disruption and uncertainty. Portfolio managers Julian Bishop and James Ashworth discuss how this is impacting global equity markets thus far this year, how it differs substantially from 2024 and what that might mean for the rest of the year.

The US has shown unprecedented dominance in stock market terms for many years, and 2024 was no exception. In this latest podcast episode we look at the factors behind this, the composition of returns from various markets for UK investors, and whether the team believes this dominance can continue into 2025. Also, at the genesis of Trump 2.0, how could tariffs – or the threat of them at least – impact investors?

In this latest episode we look deeper into some of the things that portfolio companies actually do. In particular, host Joe Lynam and co-lead portfolio manager Julian Bishop examine some of the extreme technology needed to create the world’s most powerful semiconductor chips. The term ‘cutting-edge’ may often be overused, but in this case the sheer physics of what is being achieved by some of the leading companies is, quite simply,...

In this latest podcast, we ask “what just happened” in the first half of 2023 and what did we learn as investors? Whilst there were quite benign returns in sterling terms, underneath the surface there was plenty of drama with a reversal of what happened in 2022 – tech roared back strongly from its lows and the 2022 winners like oil and gas resumed their longer-standing underperformance of recent years. After something of a frenzy i...

In this latest podcast Joe and Christian discuss the factors that led to us seeing almost double-digit inflation last year. Are those drivers now retreating and, if so, are they falling quick enough? The pair also focus in on the undeniable fact that across the globe people are living longer and, hopefully, healthier and wealthier lives.

Host Joe Lynam sits down with portfolio manager Christian Schneider for the first time in 2023 and asks if the turbulence seen in 2022 could be repeated. Inflation appears to be retreating to some extent due to diminishing increases in base factors such as the price of oil, however Christian and the team also see that inflation may be more persistent, albeit at a lower level. The extent of any recession in 2023 will likely govern t...

Host Joe Lynam asks – are we entering a ‘tech winter’ given the vicious sell-off this year?

Portfolio manager Christian Schneider gives the background to what we’ve seen afflict the highest growth stocks over the past year (a large number of which reside in the tech sector) and what the outlook may be for the sector, but in particular how differentiation is needed between different types of technology stocks as the sector...

Inflation is rampant and central banks are reacting strongly with associated rate rises. At the same time some governments are looking at policies reflecting a very present need to try to buffer current hardships for people. Given Brunner’s focus on growth stocks that have been hit particularly hard by this high inflation and rising interest rate backdrop, will this affect the investment philosophy at all?

The US economy is the driver of much of the world’s growth. Is it on the ropes as inflation soars and interest rates are hiked, as is being suggested by many commentators?

Plus, what is the wider global context, particularly diving below the macro-economic factors to the fortunes of individual companies – Matthew Tillett and Joe Lynam discuss.
