Current global expansion may not last, says Newton’s Mulhern

The current steady expansion in the global economy may not last as central banks tighten policy around the world, says Brendan Mulhern, global strategist at Newton Investment Management, a BNY Mellon company.

Mulhern says investors should take a more conservative approach to allocating risk given that many asset prices have been ‘bid up’ because the easy money policies the banks have been running.

He adds that multi-asset, absolute return strategies are the best in the current environment.

Mulhern is also concerned about the flood of money into EFTs, which he sees as synonomous with a speculative phase of the investment cycle, and fears that ultimately it is a miss allocation of capital long term.
