18 JUNE 2026
In this quarter’s Portfolio Deep Dive, Paul and Roger discuss how markets have delivered a strong first half of 2026, with robust economic growth and solid returns across portfolios. The outlook remains positive, although we note that markets are already pricing in a reasonable proportion of that positivity, so we expect future returns to moderate. When appropriate, we continue to lean in to some of the more defensive areas of the market whilst remaining fully invested.
