What are the big investment themes that will drive markets this year? Lilian Chovin, Head of Asset Allocation at Coutts (the bank that manages your investment products with Royal Bank) explains why small cap, fixed income and active investing could be important for investors in 2024.

Lilian says, “This is the year where central banks, after record increases in interest rates to tame inflation, can now think about easing, and that shift from higher interest rates to progressively lower interest rates is happening at a time when economies are doing fine, where growth is very resilient.”

The value of investments, and the income from them, can fall as well as rise, and you may not get back what you put in. Past performance should not be seen as an indication of future performance. You should continue to hold cash for your short-term needs.
