Vitor Santos, Head of Investment Advisory Team at Millennium Banque Privée, shared our view of the macro-econonic trends for 2016 in L’Agefi Magazine (Switzerland) published in December 2015.

“We retain a positive view for risk assets with a clear focus on the developed markets of Europe and Japan. Notwithstanding, volatility should be structurally in an uptrend which creates a challenging and, at times, frustrating environment in terms of return generation. A more nimble and opportunistic approach is then essential for the year to come.”
