Investment Outlook

Investment Outlook is our flagship HSBC Private Bank publication, articulating the latest views from our Global Investment Committee. Offering an incisive perspective on the major asset classes and investment themes, we seek to address the issues important to our clients and help them invest with conviction.

Please take a moment to watch our latest quarterly video summary below;

These videos share our latest investment views on the global economic outlook for the second quarter of 2013.

Gaining confidence

The global economy has had to cope with many milestones including the Fiscal Cliff, the Italian elections and Chinese policy change. Whilst this has led to volatile markets, US equities have recently broken records and the trend appears supportive for stocks. Can this positive tone continue?

In this edition, Nigel Webber, Sebastian Paris-Horvitz and Willem Sels from the HSBC Private Bank Investment team discuss and share their views on the current market outlook for investors in Q2 2013. We also hear from Jose Rasco on US equity markets; Arjuna Mahendran provides an update on Asia and finally Agnes Arlandis concludes with a view on Emerging Markets.
