Measurable Impact

Market leading reporting that gives you transparency on the real impact of your investment choices across key sustainability metrics

Capital is at risk. The value of investments and any income derived from them can go down as well as up as a result of market or currency movements and investors may not get back the original amount invested. Screening out sectors or companies may result in less diversification and hence more volatility in investment values. Past performance should not be seen as an indication of future performance.

Game On with inflation

Leading indicators imply falling UK inflation could be sustained. This, and rate cuts in Europe and the US, raise the odds of an easing in the UK.

Will sticky inflation stop the US cutting interest rates?

Disappointing data has dampened expectations around US rate cuts. We think that pessimism is overdone and explain why.

Interest cuts to start in June

Consensus for June rate cuts from the Fed and ECB are firm. What are the odds that the UK, seen as a laggard, could follow through too?
