Fears of a global recession and worries about rising inflation top the list of concerns advisers have about investment returns from all asset classes. Nearly half (48%) of wealth management advisers questioned for HSBC Life’s Bonds Pulse Adviser Survey[1] highlighted worries about recession, while nearly two out of five (39%) pointed to concerns about the return of inflation.
Below those macroeconomic worries, their third biggest fear was market corrections around the world driven by inflated equity valuations – with more than a third (34%) of advisers pinpointing concerns about equities over the next five years.
