Miles Sampson
Head of Asset Allocation Research Franklin TempletonDAY TWO I Wednesday April 1
3:20 PM PLENARY SUPER PANEL: Macro in Motion: Portfolio Strategy, Asset Correlations, and Cross-Market Dynamics
1. Which macroeconomic forces: inflation, growth divergence, liquidity, fiscal policy, are currently shaping asset performance across FX, equities, commodities, and crypto? How do you identify when we are entering a new macro regime, and what that means for asset correlations?
2. Central bank policy remains a dominant force across markets. How do changes in rates, balance sheets, and forward guidance impact correlations between FX, equities, and risk assets? Are traditional diversification assumptions still holding?
3. How can investors structure portfolio strategies to optimise correlations between FX and other asset classes such as equities, commodities, and crypto? What role should FX play today: hedge, alpha generator, or macro expression?
4. Looking ahead 10 years, which structural macro themes: deglobalisation, energy transition, demographics, technological disruption — are most likely to reshape cross-asset correlations and portfolio risk? How should investors position for a world of more frequent shocks?
