CHAIRMAN S STATEMENT Markets have been dominated by the response to the pandemic through both fiscal stimulus and very loose monetary conditions. In general, these policies have been very positive for risk assets like equities. More recently, as the end of the crisis has become more visible, the expectation of a surge in economic activity has unsettled bond markets and been to the benefit of more cyclical markets and sectors, where earnings momentum is likely to be strong. The portfolio positioning reflects these shifting sands, while recognising that government policies still provide a tailwind.

Brussels / News Aktuell - The European Commission has today missed an opportunity to bolster its Beating Cancer Plan and recognise the importance of vaping in reducing smoking-related diseases among Europeans.
A report from the Scientific Committee on Health, Environmental and Emerging Risks (SCHEER) has failed to compare the risks of electronic cigarette use with the risks of smoking. Such an omission renders the report of little use to policy makers. An assessment of the impact e-cigarettes have had on European public health must be informed by this evidence.
Independent and publicly-funded scientific research has shown beyond any doubt that e-cigarette use is far less harmful than smoking. And much of the scientific community has been highly critical of the SCHEER’s methodology, with concerned researchers penning a critique of a draft version of the report. SCHEER has chosen not to adjust its
