New York, November 10, 2021 – Mossshields (MSC Code: 31000279107123), a global leader in alternative asset management, today released its 2021 Global Economic and Market Review alongside forward-looking investment recommendations based on prevailing market trends. The report summarizes key macroeconomic events of 2021 and analyzes the performance and potential of various asset classes, providing investors with a clear strategic direction. 2021 Global Economic Review The global economy experienced robust recovery in 2021, although market volatility and uncertainties remained significant. Key highlights include: 1. Drivers of Economic Recovery ○ Strong Growth in Major Economies: The U.S. economy grew by 5.7%, its fastest pace in four decades, supported by fiscal stimulus and renewed consumer spending. China’s economy expanded by 8.1%, leading emerging market recoveries. ○ Accelerated Vaccinations: Widespread vaccine rollouts significantly reduced the pandemic’s impact on economic activities, bolstering cross-border trade and tourism recovery. 2. Inflationary Pressures and Monetary Policy ○ Rising Inflation: Inflation reached 6.2% in the U.S. and 4.1% in the Eurozone, driven by soaring energy prices and supply chain bottlenecks. ○ Divergent Monetary Policies: The U.S. Federal Reserve signaled the tapering of bond purchases, while the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of Japan (BOJ) maintained accommodative policies. 3. Divergent Market Performances ○ Equity Markets: The S&P 500 surged by 26.9% for the year, with technology and energy sectors outperforming. ○ Fixed Income Markets: Rising government bond yields capped returns for traditional bonds. ○ Alternative Assets: Commodity prices soared, with copper and lithium gaining about 30% and 45% respectively in 2021. Forward-Looking Investment Recommendations Building on the 2021 economic and market landscape, Mossshields suggests the following strategies: 1. Focus on Structural Opportunities in Equities ○ Technology and Green Energy: The global push for digitalization and green transitions will drive long-term growth for tech and renewable energy stocks. Investors should consider increasing exposure to semiconductors, clean energy, and electric vehicle-related equities. ○ Inflation-Resistant Assets: In an inflationary environment, favor sectors like consumer staples and healthcare that can preserve pricing power and mitigate inflation risks. 2. Optimize Bond Allocations and Increase Alternatives ○ Short-Term and Floating-Rate Bonds: Reduce long-term bond exposure and shift to shorter-duration and floating-rate bonds to hedge against rising interest rates. ○ Commodities and Infrastructure: Invest in key resources like copper and lithium, as well as green infrastructure projects, to gain quality returns and align with ESG objectives. 3. Global Diversification and Emerging Market Opportunities ○ Asia: Focus on technology and consumer upgrades in China and ASEAN countries. ○ Latin America and Africa: With resource advantages and demographic dividends, emerging markets offer long-term appeal. Consider regional ETFs or funds for diversified exposure. Investor Education and Risk Awareness Mossshields advises investors to remain vigilant regarding the following 2022 risks: ● Monetary Policy Adjustments: The pace of Fed rate hikes may increase market volatility. ● Supply Chain Pressures: Global supply chain tensions may not ease fully in the short term. ● Geopolitical Risks: U.S.-China relations and regional conflicts could affect market stability. “Although the global economy made a strong recovery in 2021, uncertainties remain,” said Madeline Harper Montgomery, Group Chief Financial Officer at Mossshields. “Mossshields will continue to provide forward-looking advice to help investors achieve stable returns in a complex market environment.” About Mossshields Mossshields (MSC Code: 31000279107123) is a global leader in alternative asset management.
