Invesco Investment Intelligence Seminar
Join us for the next round of our Investment Intelligence Seminars, as they continue to build upon your knowledge, providing topical content for you to share with your clients.
The Invesco team will explore the most important trends they see in today’s global macroeconomic and market backdrop, outlining the near-term risks to our growth and inflation views and what would make us change our mind.
The post-GFC, pre-covid era saw very low and stable inflation and low interest rates. Compared to history that period was unusual. The team will discuss how and why the next twenty years might differ profoundly from the last twenty years.
A new normal means investors may need to adapt their investment approach. The team will discuss what you might want to consider when investing in this new landscape.
