Risk assets weather multiple risk-off storms to end Q1 higher
Read the latest reports
Global stocks and corporate bonds ended Q1 higher, overcoming ‘higher-for-longer’ rate upheaval in February and a massive flight from risk in March triggered by the global banking-sector crisis. Growth stocks regained favor in Q1 as bond yields eased, outperforming financials and more cyclical peers. Though calm was restored by March-end, sentiment remained fragile.
Key highlights:
- Global Asset Classes – Wild quarter ends on a high note
- Global Equities – Europe and US lead Q1 gains
- Industry-Weighted Return Contributions – Technology stocks rise from the ashes
- Alternative Indices – Environmental Opportunities get lift from energy sell-off
- Factor performance – Quality rides the technology rebound
- Foreign Exchange – US dollar falters in Q1
