The concept of circular economy is gaining momentum - Trends Under the Macroscope #45
It is clear that humanity uses too many resources. In 2022, the ‘overshoot day’ was July 28, which means that to regenerate what humanity consumes today, we would need the equivalent of “1.75 Earths” in terms of area. As a result, the concept of circular economy, which was first pushed by environmental activists, is spreading more and more widely in society and in particular among political authorities: for example, the European Commission presented in 2022 two new packages of specific proposals, particularly with regard to packaging waste and on the generalization of the design of sustainable products.

What are the key megatrends for 2023?

Innovative and active allocation strategies are independent of conventional benchmarked approaches.
Our pure directional approaches tap into the carry of asset classes (credit or inflation) without exposure to interest rates variations.
A bond allocation approach with two separate and complementary performance drivers aiming to offer a highly robust solution regardless of market configuration.
