"Rathbones looks back at a strong but volatile 2025 and enters 2026 with a constructive outlook, relying on diversification, short-duration bonds, and gold to navigate sticky inflation and political headwinds."
Rathbones' Q4 2025 review details a highly successful year for global equity markets, which outperformed historical averages despite distinct waves of volatility driven by US tariff threats and cooling enthusiasm over the short-term ROI of generative AI investments. Moving into 2026, global economic fundamentals remain solid with low recession risk. Rathbones is constructive on balanced portfolios, employing short-duration government bonds, active capital preservation strategies, and gold as hedges against sticky inflation and high national debt. They predict a broadening of equity market performance beyond mega-cap US tech into other undervalued regions and sectors like healthcare.
