Unfortunately, it is not enough to ensure a positive outcome. Although the impact of swings in sentiment fade with the passage of time, they can still exert a huge influence over periods longer than most of us can bear. A long-term mindset is still our best chance of success. It materially improves the odds, it just doesn’t provide anything close to certainty.”

Joe Wiggins, financial author

"The bond market has pulled the handbrake on Trump twice, both with the tariffs and the tax bill.”

Conrad Wood, portfolio manager at Aluwani

"We want to avoid ‘di-worse-ification.’ We want to build portfolios that are greater than the sum of its parts.”

Amy Mann, portfolio manager at Schroders Solutions
