In search of stability in uncertain times…

With the investment industry – along with the rest of world – still adapting to the new normal of life with coronavirus, the launch this week, by Deutsche Bank Wealth Management, of a new series of ETF-based funds designed to address the challenges of unstable market cycles, seems perfectly timed. But as Deustche Bank Wealth Management’s global chief investment officer Christian Nolting tells Beverly Chandler, the funds, which have an element of downside protection built in, were originally conceived last year, in line with the company’s belief in the importance of long-term strategic asset allocation.

Staying with the coronavirus theme, we also report on a new survey by the Association of Investment Companies (AIC) which examines how the supermarket sector is responding to the challenges posed by Covid-19. And with pubs and restaurants likely to remain closed for the foreseeable future, the initial stockpiling spike in sales, which saw British consumers splash an additional GBP1.9 million at the checkouts in March, could translate into a longer term increase in sales.

And longer term – twenty years to be exact – is key to another new study out this week, this time from AMG, which examines the performance over the past two decades of boutique asset managers in times of increased volatility.  As the research reveals, they outperformed both larger active asset managers and passive indexing.
