Zak Smerczak, analyst/portfolio manager Global Equities at Comgest, will present his outlook for the asset class at the upcoming Nordic Summit Stockholm 2019, being hosted by InvestmentEurope at the Grand Hotel in the Swedish capital on 12-13 March.

Like a number of asset classes, this one went from a relatively benign volatility environment in 2017 into a far more volatile 2018 as factors such as diverging macroeconomic development and rates policy impacted companies, while global markets saw the emergence of key concerns around the US-China trade relationship. Comgest has tackled this environment from not only a bottom up perspective, but also with key ESG criteria integrated into the approach, which Smerczak will explain further.
