Maya Bhandari and Felicity Long

In this Q&A video, Maya Bhandari (Portfolio Manager) and Felicity Long (Client Portfolio Manager) discuss what 2020 has been like for the Threadneedle (Lux) Global Multi Asset Income Fund, the implications of Covid on both the performance and the asset allocation.

Global economic activity has suffered a “sudden stop” as authorities have sought to contain the spread of the Covid-19 virus by shutting down economies.

Markets have been trying to digest the impact of Covid-19 on economic activity and government policy. This is hard. The financial impact will be a function not only of the spread and lethality of the virus, but on the response of people and governments to the threat the virus poses to public health.
