Investment Managers Survey

The Sterling MPI indices turned in positive returns over the quarter, with the Low, Medium and High-Risk strategies averaging 0.87%, 1.19% and 1.49%, respectively, broadly in line with the estimates. There was little change to asset allocations during Q2, except for modest increased holdings in gold and USD. Based on our survey for MPI managers, optimism remain broadly the same as last quarter and over half of the respondents anticipate 3 or more US Fed rate cuts over the next 12 months (i.e. cuts of 75bps or more), a surprising increase from last quarter which had between 50bps – 75bps in expected cuts. Of the possible headwinds, earning slowdown was the most cited closely followed by US and Global election outcomes, which ranked higher this quarter than any other.
