UBS Chief Investment Office, Global Risk Radar

We reflect on how 2018 has changed the global investment landscape, what risks lie ahead, and how investors can prepare for the future.
As markets start to show a more balanced attitude toward risk, we argue that investors too need to become increasingly mindful of potential upside scenarios.
CIO believes the current environment still favors an overweight position in equity markets, and that the recent sell-off marks a bull market correction rather than the beginning of a bear cycle. However, we also hold a number of counter-cyclical positions that should perform well if one of our downside scenarios were to materialize.
