Webinar – Market Spotlight

Webinar – Market Spotlight

On Wednesday 6 May 2020, Norman Villamin and Peter Kinsella hosted the “Market Spotlight” webinar to discuss the rapidly changing markets and the opportunities and risks they present.



Our experts answered five questions to highlight what investors should look at in the month ahead:

  • As lockdowns ease, what will the recovery look like in the US, Europe, and China?
  • The US Federal Reserve has committed to its version of ‘whatever it takes’. Which asset classes can still benefit?
  • With a 25% rally from the March lows, how should investors position themselves in global equities?
  • How worried should investors be about the political rifts emerging in the euro area?
  • Is the worst over for crude oil?
