The European Central Bank has launched a series of new initiatives to support the single currency, cutting interest rates to record lows and boosting lending facilities. The cost of government borrowing sits at record lows for certain European countries. Spain’s 10 year yield is now lower than at any point since records began in 1789. Similarly, France’s borrowing costs are lower than at any point since 1746 and Italy’s the lowest since 1808. Firstly this demonstrates how unprecedented the current market conditions are and secondly, illustrates the confidence investors have in the ability of central bankers to guide financial markets through the economic maelstrom. With the Vix index (a measure of market volatility) at an even year low, it would seem that global investors are not expecting dark macroeconomic clouds to unsettle their sea of investable tranquillity. Standard Life Wealth’s thematic investment process remains focused on identifying long term drivers of change in the world, regardless of whether they are positive or negative. These themes help generate suitable investment ideas that can benefit from the events taking place in the world, whilst also steering away from areas of inherent risk. With constant doomsday coverage of financial markets in the mainstream news, it is easy to forget that in any economic environment, there will be opportunities for investors who are willing to take a certain level of risk to achieve defined investment objectives, over the long term.
