Being optimistic is good for you – and that’s a fact. In the white paper The Neural Basis of Always Looking on the Bright Side, psychiatrist Owen O’Sullivan noted that a positive outlook is something of an evolutionary necessity, as “to reconcile the full spectrum of conceivable eventualities would be endlessly time-consuming and tortuous”.
Five themes that private markets investors should watch in Q4 2026
Private markets offer selective diversification opportunities in markets dealing with growing geopolitical risks and the dominant AI narrative, according to Schroders Capital chief investment officer Nils Rode. In the firm's Q4 2026 Private Markets Investment Outlook, Rode noted further escalation in the conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine are casting a shadow over markets, while returns are dominated by the AI-driven capital expenditure cycle.
Not owning Chinese stocks doesn't mean you've avoided China risk, says Scottish Mortgage's Burns
Many global investors have stepped back from China in recent years. Scottish Mortgage, which has been investing in the country for almost 20 years, utilising in-house research from a Baillie Gifford team based in Shanghai, trimmed its own China weighting from 24% of the portfolio at the end of 2020 to 11% in September. But it would be a mistake to think that steering clear of Chinese shares removes China risk from a portfolio, according to Lawrence Burns, co-manager of Scottish Mortgage.
El Niño: How fund managers are preparing for a weather shock
Investors have spent much of 2026 grappling with an energy price shock resulting from conflict in the Middle East. However, more extreme weather patterns over the next 12 months are expected to add further volatility across markets.

How this fund manager is getting around being forced to underweight TSMC
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has rocketed higher in recent years to a point where it dominates emerging market and Asian indices. While passive funds have benefited, active funds risk being left behind. At 15.6% of the MSCI Emerging Markets index and 15.4% of the MSCI Asia Pacific ex Japan benchmark, the stock is too large for UCITS-regulated active managers to even take a neutral weighting.
Vanguard unveils USD High Yield Corporate Bond UCITS ETF

Oil doomsday averted but watch the refining squeeze
Oil above $100 a barrel has been the number unsettling markets ever since the war in Iran disrupted shipments through the Strait of Hormuz in April, as fears grew that a prolonged shortage would send prices higher, lift inflation and squeeze growth took hold. That pressure slightly eased yesterday morning, when Brent slipped back below $100 towards the bottom of its range over the past month, but the relief was temporary, as this morning the price surpassed that threshold again.
Asian leaders at the frontier of factory automation
Asia has a long history of leadership in automation. Japan continues to maintain a major share of global industrial robot manufacturing, boasting 38% of overall production in 2024. The region also dominates adoption of the technologies: almost three-quarters of factory robot installations in 2024 were in Asia, mostly in China.
