5 I rischi che al momento ci preoccupano maggiormente Crescita Siamo finalmente in fase di ripresa economica globale? Debito pubblico Sarà possibile ridurre il debito in modo significativo senza metter a rischio la crescita? inflazione Saranno le banche centrali in grado di normalizzare la politica monetaria ed evitare un esplosione dell inflazione?

22 Sommario Macro Azioni Ripresa dei mercati azionari dallo shock dei tassi di Maggio/Giugno grazie agli interventi verbali delle banche centrali Le speculazioni riguardanti il tapering continueranno a creare volatilità nei mercati Dati economici sorprendentemente positivi dalla zona Euro suggeriscono che la recessione si stia avviando verso la fine. Intanto, l economia Statunitense continua a rafforzarsi, mentre che le economie emergenti mostrano segni di debolezza (relativa) Nonostante le valutazioni non più molto interessanti e partendo dall ipotesi che l economia globale continuerà a crescere in maniera moderata, ci attendiamo che i mercati azionari producano un rendimento migliore rispetto alle obbligazioni governative o con rating molto alti. Preferiamo l Europa ed il Giappone agli USA Obbli. Asset Allocation Nonostante l aumento dei tassi, i titoli governativi ci sembrano ancora cari da un punto di vista fondamentale. Siamo quindi sottoponderati, anche se manteniamo un esposizione per controllare il rischio di una ricaduta in recessione. Ai titoli governativi sicuri, preferiamo corporates e le obbligazioni di Italia e Spagna Le nostre posizioni tattiche più importanti: Sottoponderazione in obbligazioni governative con un piccolo sovrappeso in BTP, Bonos e corporates. Durazione corta Piccolo sovrappeso in azioni, gestito in modo dinamico Sovraponderazioni in USD e EUR, sottoponderazioni in CHF e JPY
