Global Asset Allocation Viewpoints

Read our committee’s tactical views, positioning, risks, and opportunities across global assets.

November 2025

Outlook
  • Our view on risk assets remains balanced, with fiscal stimulus and accommodative central bank policies helping support economic growth against a backdrop of elevated valuations, where a lot of good news has been priced in.
  • We moderated our overweight to real assets following strong performance, particularly in precious metals, though we maintain an overweight position as a hedge to higher inflation.
  • We added modestly to small-caps as valuations remain compelling and earnings are poised to inflect positively with tailwinds from lower rates, fiscal policy, deregulation, and potential for increased M&A and IPO activity.
  • Themes this month cover the uncertainty around the path of the Federal Reserve from here given mixed and limited data as well as factors driving market jitters.

The 2025 Global Asset Allocation Viewpoints presents a balanced outlook on risk assets, supported by fiscal stimulus and accommodative central bank policies, though elevated valuations reflect significant optimism already priced into markets. The report highlights key themes including Federal Reserve uncertainty amid limited economic data, ongoing strength in AI-driven growth offsetting weakness in traditional sectors like housing and manufacturing, and tactical positioning that favors small-cap equities and shorter-duration bonds while maintaining hedges against inflation risks.
