Rates, risks and inflation with Head of Asset Allocation Malcolm Wood

Ord Minnett Head of Asset Allocation Malcolm Wood joins the podcast to discuss the outlook for the economy and investment markets. The conversation includes: • What the recent RBA rate rises mean for Australia; • Why an orderly, gradual normalisation of interest rates is still the likely scenario in Australia; • Why the Australian equity market looks well placed in the context of global valuations; • Why risks persist in the US economy and why the Fed faces a number of challenges; and • Mal’s preferred asset allocation, which includes caution on growth assets including underweight US equities, but overweight and Emerging Market equities. *** Disclosure: Ord Minnett Limited ABN 86 002 733 048 (Ord Minnett) holds AFS Licence Number 237121 and E.L. & C.
