Institutional Perspectives

Critical thinking on the markets, the economy and investing from the investment teams at Columbia Threadneedle Investments.

The Receding Prospect of Global Tightening

The Fed's abrupt policy shift earlier this year ended predictions for any near-term rate hike. Now market speculation has shifted instead toward the timing of a rate cut. Senior Fixed Income Portfolio Manager, Gene Tannuzzo, explains how the end of accommodative global monetary policy may still be far out on the investment horizon.

ESG and Quantitative Data

Mac Ryerse, Lead Analyst (U.S.) of Responsible Investment discusses an approach to finding actionable insights within a quantitative framework that evaluates financial stewardship and ESG management. By applying a materiality lens — such as that established by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) — investors can focus on the key ESG performance factors.

The Return of Tariffs

The recent breakdown in trade talks between the U.S. and China were a surprising development for the financial markets, one that has analysts reassessing the impact of trade policy on growth and inflation. Anwiti Bahuguna, Head of Multi Asset Strategy, looks at the implications for China and the U.S. if this current standoff is not ended soon.
