Tactical Asset Allocation
• This table shows how confident we are about markets and asset
classes, with five the most and one the least. In our most recent
quarterly tactical review, we kept our overall score at three, having
reduced it from four in the previous quarter. Navigating higher
inflation and slowing growth requires a more defensive positioning.
• Our ratings for equities fell from four to three to reflect the greater
uncertainties around interest rate policies and economic growth.
We have moved the risk score down for both European equities
and European small caps from three to two, given that Europe is

the region most at risk from a protracted conflict in Ukraine and
the resulting energy crisis.
• In terms of fixed income, we have reduced our rating for indexlinked bonds from three to two – it is best to buy inflation
protection when the risk is underappreciated, unlike now. We
have, however, raised our rating on global government bonds
from two to three because there are benefits now in diversifying
beyond the UK and yields have risen to more attractive levels.
