This is a section of our 2023 Mid-year Investment Outlook, where specialists from across our investment platform share insights on the economic and market forces that we expect to influence portfolios in the second half of this year.

To help navigate the uncertainty, we offer views from members of iStrat, our Investment Strategy and Solutions group. They share their market outlook for the second half of the year, as well as ideas for building a more balanced and resilient portfolio for staying focused on long-term opportunities, even in volatile environments.
