2024 Best Ideas: Rethinking Resiliency and Risk
Jan 25, 2024
PGIM 2024 Annual Best Ideas highlights areas where PGIM asset managers believe investors will find promising opportunities as markets change rapidly.
A 2023 that kicked off with rampant recession talk and a near-calamitous bank crisis ended in remarkable relative stability, at least in the financial arena. Stronger-than-expected economic growth in the face of higher interest rates, coupled with technological innovation around artificial intelligence, helped risk assets turn the corner.
Meanwhile, central banks around the world have begun to step back from their aggressive fight against inflation, adding fresh optimism that financial markets and the broader economy are on steady footing.
That resiliency now has investors hoping that the good cheer will continue, but every year brings with it a new set of challenges, and 2024 is sure to be no different.
The tumultuous and unexpected path of 2023 yet again underscores the importance of assessing the impact that a rapidly changing world will have on the way asset managers and investors construct their portfolios. An environment of potentially higher interest rates and inflation, growth in private markets, and idiosyncratic risks that are giving new meaning to resiliency all have broad implications for financial markets and asset allocation strategies.
In PGIM 2024 Annual Best Ideas, PGIM investment experts delve into these and other topics of interest to our clients. As always, the ideas presented here are not intended to predict the future, but rather to shine a light on the areas where we believe investors will find promising opportunities, buoyed by PGIM’s distinct depth of expertise and focused experience.
