Global economic and capital market outlook: numerous factors point to continued upswing despite increased volatility

Global economic growth in 2018 thus far has been strong: most emerging and industrialised countries have seen positive development. The economic risks forecast by pessimists have not materialised. However, tension across the capital markets has increased. Three chief economists will present their assessments of the economic outlook and the impact of potential risks.

Overview of hedging strategies: how can portfolios be protected from market fluctuations? 

In times of historically low interest rates, equities remain the asset class of choice. A turnaround is, however, taking shape, increasing the risk of setbacks. Which market strategy is suitable to counter these developments? On this panel, experts will present various risk management strategies for investment portfolios.

Discover attractive investment opportunities in emerging markets: which regions offer the most promising outlook? 

Emerging markets are benefiting from a conducive economic environment. Among other things, this is due to the improved fundamental data of individual countries. Many believe that there is good reason for specific regions – and some companies, in particular – to continue to benefit from the positive conditions. Our ETF experts will explain which regions are attractive for investment and which companies investors should focus on.

Traditional sectors vs future-oriented sectors: identify above-average growth opportunities and create the right portfolio mix

Our world is driven by digitisation and unlimited data volumes, affecting all business sectors and our way of life. Global digital communication, robots, drones, nano- and biotechnology as well as autonomous vehicles are just some of the symptoms of this development. On the other hand, there are basic needs catered to by the traditional defensive sectors, which yield stable returns that are not linked to the performance of the general economy. Our panelists will present promising traditional and future-oriented industries.

6.15 p.m. Get together
