Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The biggest question impacting portfolios in 2026
Q: What role does gold play in portfolios in 2026 according to your view?
Gold remains a hedge against duration risk and a potential inflation shock absorber; gold miners offer leverage to gold with potentially improving cash flows if gold stays supported, but near-term ETF and positioning dynamics could cause volatility, so position sizes should reflect diversification goals.
The biggest question impacting portfolios in 2026
Q: Korea and China were highlighted as important regional stories. How should portfolios position around these markets given the current updates?
Korea benefits from governance reforms and a strong domestic investor base, but AI and memory demand remain central catalysts; China offers a diversifier with domestic policy aimed at wealth creation via equities, though earnings visibility remains a key question, and investors should balance domestic catalysts with global risk factors.
The biggest question impacting portfolios in 2026
Q: What is your view on the inflation outlook and its impact on asset correlations going into 2026?
Inflation remains a key driver; a positive reflation impulse could surprise on the upside and potentially flip the equity-bond correlation back to positive, especially if supply shocks recede and growth accelerates. The balance between policy loosening, inflationary pressures, and sector dynamics will determine whether correlations stay suppressed or re‑emerge.
How Canaccord Wealth are allocating to profit from dollar weakness
Q: What are you looking for in an absolute return type fund in the current environment?
We seek strategies that defend on the downside in drawdown periods, have long-standing track records (ideally 25 years), and fit a slow-but-solid ballast role with controlled risk and lower volatility.
How Canaccord Wealth are allocating to profit from dollar weakness
Q: When building EM exposure, do you prefer broad EM funds or regional/country/thematic approaches?
We use a mix: broad EM managers plus regional Asian exposure, with active management in EM almost always used unless a strong reason not to.
