Outlook 46

What we know…

What we are focusing on…

What we believe…

…Eurozone crisis is not going to be resolved quickly

…Debt deleveraging will take a long time and has already increased risks in a number of sectors

…Capturing international growth …Avoiding politically sensitive industries

In a low growth environment strong companies will get stronger

That growth is often available at a surprisingly small premium

Fund manager views at the time of writing and will change in the future –October 2012. They may be subject to change and should not be interpreted as investment advice.
