Generali Investments Outlook 2017

Growth resilience and receding central bank support

Growth resilience and receding central bank support

Investors will still face a challenging environment with political risks and easing tailwinds from central banks weighting on asset returns, said the experts of Generali Investments in their Outlook for 2017. Global growth has gained in resilience recently. It will remain muted, though, with ending recessions in Russia and Brazil alongside improved dynamics in the US accounting for the bulk of a mild pickup in global growth.

Amid an environment of gradually recovering global yields, a stronger focus on European real assets and higher yielding corporate bonds in the euro area should help to protect investment returns.
