371: Our Midyear Global Outlook – The CIO call

L&G Talks Asset Management

We recorded this special episode to mark the publication of our midyear global outlook, which offers key views across public and private markets after a particularly eventful first six months of 2025. Topics covered include:

• Long-term implications from the tariffs-related volatility spike
• How our AFI team in Chicago is navigating policy uncertainty
• The approach taken by our Multi-Asset team to USD assets
• The outlook for private market assets – and their role in portfolios
• Addressing concentration risk within index and ETF strategies

During the episode, Sonja Laud, our Global CIO, was joined by:

• Anthony Woodside, Head of Multi-Sector Fixed Income & Investment Strategy, Asset Management, America
• Christopher Jeffery, Head of Macro Strategy
• David Barron, Global Head of Index and ETFs
• Rob Martin, Global Head of Investment Strategy & Research, Private Markets

The speakers also offer non-consensus market views for the next six months – and share what they are planning to read and watch over the summer.

The podcast was recorded on 3 July and was moderated by Max Julius, Head of Content.
