Five big trends to watch in 2025: Trade, tech and tensions to shape the year ahead
17 Jan 2025
From AI breakthroughs to rising risks of trade wars and energy crunches, 2025 is shaping up to be a year of big shifts. Here are five key trends every investor needs to watch to stay ahead of the curve.
House View
No one can predict the future. But our quarterly House View sets out the collective wisdom of our investment teams on the current state of global markets – and where they might be heading.
Key risks
Investment risk
The value of an investment and any income from it can go down as well as up. Investors may not get back the original amount invested.
Currency risk
Investments can be exposed to different currencies. Derivatives are used to minimise, but may not always eliminate, the impact of movements in currency exchange rates.
Derivatives risk
Investments can be made in derivatives, which can be complex and highly volatile. Derivatives may not perform as expected, meaning significant losses may be incurred. Derivatives are instruments that can be complex and highly volatile, have some degree of unpredictability (especially in unusual market conditions), and can create losses significantly greater than the cost of the derivative itself.
Emerging markets risk
Investments can be made in emerging markets. These markets may be volatile and carry higher risk than developed markets.
Illiquid securities risk
Some investments could be hard to value or to sell at a desired time, or at a price considered to be fair (especially in large quantities), and as a result their prices can be volatile.
Sustainable investing risk
The level of sustainability risk to which a portfolio is exposed, and therefore the value of its investments, may fluctuate depending on the investment opportunities identified by the Investment Manager.
