Global Markets Outlook 2023 vestment. Dividend growth and value companies could be well posi- tioned, given the uncertain macro environment and higher interest rates. Alternative investments, such as hedge funds that concentrate on rates, currencies and cross-asset cor- relations, will be essential for portfo- lio diversification. Gold may be also used for portfolio diversification in 2023 as the dollar and real interest rates reached their apexes. In 2023 and beyond, there will be a renewed emphasis on stability and security throughout the global economy. Real assets such as infrastructure, trans- portation and the energy transition create a wide range of possibilities for public and private investors. The global reset in valuations will be pre- senting investors with a broader range of viable options to help achieve their goals. CONCLUSION TOWARDS MORE RESILIENT INVESTMENT IN GLOBAL MARKETS From inflation to energy shortages and general instability, global mar- kets are set for a turbulent year ahead. However, there are good rea- sons to be optimistic that the current challenges will build long-term re- silience in global markets. In the meantime, there will be opportuni- ties and uncertainties. Investors and global supply chains will be also more resilient to future shocks. But as global markets adapt to the new con- ditions, investors will need data and insight more than ever to understand the fast-moving situation in global markets and stay ahead of trends.
