War is just another uncertainty
02 March 2026 | Julian Howard

With Middle East conflict flaring up (again), oil and geopolitical risks are dominating the headlines. But after weathering a steady stream of shocks over the past couple of years, markets have shown surprising resilience. As dramatic as the present news cycle is, investors with diversified portfolios should think twice before taking knee jerk action - and instead stay the course.

What if AI doesn’t work out?
26 February 2026 | Julian Howard

AI has been a dominant investment theme in 2025, but legitimate questions exist around take-up and pay-off. Even if AI doesn’t deliver the sweeping technological revolution many investors hope for, other strong themes exist which can provide market leadership.

A bit too precious?
02 February 2026 | Julian Howard

Precious metals’ surge was partly driven by the softer dollar, stubborn US inflation and hopes of fresh fiscal support.

21 January 2026 | Julian Howard

With unpredictable US government policy making for a volatile investment environment, US equities’ searing post-Liberation Day progress appears to have stalled, while gold market fever could be a symptom of stress in global capital markets. But history suggests that equities tend to reward the patient.
