Our 2025 market outlook: navigating a year of uncertainty
In our kickoff Wealth Insights webinar for 2025, we take a look at the key forces shaping the global economy and markets this year.
2025 is emerging as a year of significant transition, and the early weeks have certainly underscored this dynamic. But while uncertainty abounds regarding interest rates, economic growth, and trade policy, it's important to recognize that financial markets often behave differently than the broader economy.
In the video, Manulife Investment Management’s Global Chief Economist Alex Grassino and Co-Chief Investment Strategists Kevin Headland and Macan Nia discuss the economic and investment landscape for 2025. They offer insights into how evolving trade policy might impact markets as the year unfolds.
Topics covered include:
- Five key macro themes, plus one major X factor
- Why we’re constructive about equity and fixed income returns for the year, despite likely volatility along the way
- The importance of prioritizing quality in equity and fixed income during unpredictable times.
