Monthly Coffee Break

March was a clement month for investors, with most asset classes delivering a positive performance.

In our opinion, it is time to add cyclicity to the portfolio to benefit from an improving environment.

Global stock markets ended Q1 at an all-time high, fuelled by continued investor optimism. The resilience of the global economy, particularly in the US, has pleasantly surprised many.

Markets held up well during March, supported by robust economic indicators coming from the US, manufacturing and services PMIs improving in China and an increasingly dovish stance from the ECB.
