Why this allocator is 30% underweight to the US

Downing’s Simon Evan-Cook tells the latest edition of the Asset Allocator podcast that he has just 30 per cent of the capital he manages in US funds, and reveals the reasons why.

He also reveals the role cash and bonds play in his portfolios at a time of heightened market stress.
