According to Chubb Wealth, the global economy remains resilient despite ongoing uncertainty in the Middle East, but that resilience is not uniform. The U.S., Europe, Japan and China are each facing different growth drivers and constraints. Energy uncertainty, trade restrictions, fiscal spending and large infrastructure requirements may keep inflation more volatile than in the decade before the pandemic.
Ben Rudd, General Manager of Chubb Wealth, says: “As investors assess their portfolios going into 2027, the answer is not to retreat to cash in the face of uneven growth and continued investment uncertainty. The opportunity set is broader than it has been for years, so the focus should be on building portfolios that can earn returns from multiple sources, including alternatives.”
Chubb Wealth remains generally constructive on risk assets and highlights four investment priorities for Q4 2026:
- Income matters again: Starting bond yields allow fixed income to contribute meaningfully to total portfolio returns.
- Follow the artificial intelligence (AI) investment dollar: The opportunity is moving from chips into data centers, cooling, power, grids, software and ultimately productivity.
- Tap into Asia’s diversified investment cycles: China, Japan, Korea/Taiwan, India and Southeast Asia offer different policy, valuation, earnings and currency drivers.
- Give alternatives a portfolio role: Private credit, infrastructure, hedge funds and private equity should each address a specific portfolio objective.
Chubb Wealth remains neutral on global equities and bonds. In fixed income, we prefer higher starting yields, including high-yield, Asian and USD emerging market bonds, and believe bonds can once again be owned primarily for income. We believe a weaker U.S. dollar will remain a key theme, supporting greater geographic and currency diversification.
In alternatives, infrastructure remains the favored allocation, supported by electrification, energy security, renewable generation, grid modernization and digital infrastructure.
