Our AIQ investment process has called for an increase in the weighting that we hold for investors within gold, with a further purchase of a physically backed gold ETC. With developed global equity markets continuing to play a merry dance that hangs on President Trump’s every word, we welcome this slight increase in diversification away from equities. Although overall momentum within global equities remains strong, we rest a little easier in the knowledge that our holdings in this area of the market are those with lower levels of volatility and a heavy slant toward quality. Bond markets remain edgy, and we continue to favour those with durations to redemption at the shorter end.
