Our Chief Investment Officer, William Marshall, shares a recap of Q1 2026.

Watch our video where we give an overview of the key headlines from the first quarter of the year and what this meant for markets, including: 

  • Global equities staged a strong recovery
  • Bonds delivered positive returns as inflation fears eased
  • Higher-risk portfolios outperformed

Looking ahead, corporate earnings continue to support markets, but geopolitical uncertainty and high expectations for AI could drive short-term volatility. Diversification remains key to managing risk.
