Natixis Investment Managers (Natixis IM) recently conducted a 2023 outlook survey of 500 global institutional investors, titled “After the Gold Rush”. According to the survey, institutional investors see recession as inevitable but stagflation as the bigger risk. This is the 20th anniversary of AIA S&P 500® Direct Indexing Strategy and Natixis IM is celebrating the milestone with the survey.
The survey findings suggest that institutional investors are expecting a recession in the near future, with over two-thirds of respondents expecting it by the end of 2022. However, they are also expecting stagflation, with almost half of respondents expecting it in the same timeframe. The survey also revealed that investors are increasingly looking for alternative Investment to protect their portfolios.
The survey also revealed that 35% of millionaires surveyed by Natixis Investment Managers said it would take a miracle to achieve a secure retirement. This could be attributed to the fact that the world of investing has never been more fraught. Natixis IM believes that investors should not just put their money in stocks, but also look for alternative Investment that can help protect their portfolio from market volatility.
In terms of retirement security, the survey found that most investors are not confident in their ability to save for retirement. Over two-thirds of respondents said they are not confident in their ability to achieve the retirement they desire. This could be attributed to the fact that many investors don’t have a clear Investment strategy or don’t understand the risk associated with investing in the stock market.
Natixis IM believes that investors should take a long-term approach to investing and should diversify their portfolios to protect against market volatility. The firm also recommends that investors look for alternative Investment, such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs), that can help protect their portfolios from the risk of market downturns.
A few strategists at Natixis Investment Managers said yesterday that the sense of dread may be overstated. In a webinar the firm hosted titled “ESG: from niche to norm”, asset management and consulting experts discussed how investors can use environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria to help protect their portfolios from market volatility. They emphasized the importance of investing for the long-term and using ESG criteria to evaluate Investment.
Asset management CEOs tend to be a clever bunch, but there cannot be many who are familiar with the AIA S&P 500® Direct Indexing Strategy that Natixis Investment Managers is celebrating the 20-year anniversary of. The strategy, which was developed by Mirova, an affiliate of Natixis Investment Management, provides investors with an alternative to traditional index funds and has helped many investors achieve their retirement goals.
The survey findings suggest that many investors are still not confident in their ability to achieve a secure retirement. Natixis IM believes that investors should take a long-term approach to investing and should diversify their portfolios to protect against market volatility. The firm also recommends that investors look for alternative Investment, such as ETFs, that can help protect their portfolios from the risk of market downturns.
