What a US-China trade deal could mean for investors

In a Q&A with Neil Dwane, Christiaan Tuntono says China will likely agree to reduce the trade deficit and even support IP protections, but not roll back “Made in China 2025”. Mona Mahajan thinks a comprehensive deal like this would help US and Chinese stocks, but much of the upside has already been priced in.

Adaptation by investors to vehicles of change could well determine success or failure in pursuit of financial goals. The future is not there to be rediscovered; it is there to unfold uniquely and, more importantly, anew.

Why Investors should get active in a late-cycle economy

In a late-cycle economy like this one, asset-class returns tend to be modest, suggesting a difficult environment for passive portfolios that merely track an index. Moreover, as central-bank stimulus is withdrawn, passive investors could be further hurt by rising volatility and falling correlations. It all adds up to an environment that could provide attractive opportunities for active investors.

Inflation expectations support holding rates steady – for now

With the Fed having largely achieved its objectives of full employment and price stability, we expect short-term rates to stay unchanged at the FOMC’s next meeting. This should be good for investors, but don’t rule out a rate hike by the end of the year if inflation surges, or if tariff- or Brexit-related risks recede.

Climate change must change investors’ portfolios
However investors view the problem of climate change – perhaps as a threat to carbon-intensive industries or as an opportunity to contribute to the greater good – ignoring its effects on portfolios increasingly seems like a short-sighted option. Fortunately, there are many ways investors can incorporate this urgent issue into their strategies.
