Recent developments in the Middle East have had a meaningful impact on global markets, particularly through higher oil and gas prices. These dynamics have increased the risks of elevated inflation, slower economic growth, and weaker corporate earnings. Despite the heightened market volatility, the Global Equities Diversified Income (GEDI) strategy has demonstrated resilience. We have made selective portfolio adjustments to address the rising risks and believe that by combining four powerful pillars—growth, value, income equities, and options—the strategy is well positioned to potentially deliver attractive yield alongside long-term capital growth.
