"For almost a decade, investors could count on central banks turning on their money taps in the event of an “whatever” crises or deflationary threats to stimulate the economy through more and more credit supply which ultimately led to higher asset prices.
As inflation has truly become a problem in recent months, central banks no longer offer a safety net. In contrast to the past they even threaten the economy with much tighter credit conditions with creates uncertainty among market participants and lead asset prices falling sharply this year."
Andreas Gilgen, CIO
"As an independent asset manager, we must find top-level private banks to partner with for the benefit of our clients. Independent asset management firms do not hold the funds of their clients but rather work through a limited power of attorney to manage the clients' funds held by the bank. It is a perfect setup for the client as it allows them to have a partner who has the expertise and an established relationship with an offshore bank to ensure a top-level bank is serving them. In the search to find these banks, there are many considerations we take into account before establishing a partnership with them."

Understanding inflation is crucial to investing because it can reduce the value of investment returns.

Interview with Managing Partner and COO of WHVP, Julia Fernandez
"The number one reason why more investors are thinking global is diversification. They are looking for global investment opportunities that help them protect their principal and produce better returns for their assets.
At the same time, they are looking at investing in foreign markets for more stability – markets that may not be facing the dual impact of inflation and recession (sometimes referred to as stagflation)."
Why Is Global Investing Your Best Strategy During Periods of Market Volatility?
"Inflation, recession, and stagflation are just three of the current economic conditions that are causing substantial volatility in the global securities markets. Investing during these market conditions can be challenging, but it should not be a foregone conclusion that the only safe haven is a money market fund.
As you prepare for a recession, there are investment alternatives that have the potential to protect principal and produce better rates of return."

"Since the S&P 500 represents a large portion of the value of the U.S. equity market, it may be worth understanding for investors. However, while the index's performance gives a good representation of the state of the U.S. market, it does not fully represent it.

"The Americas region is booming — between 2019 and 2021, Henley & Partners saw a spike of 320% in new enquiries from the region. Demand has predominantly been driven by geopolitical upheaval in the USA along with shifting political dynamics in several Latin American countries, as well as the global coronavirus pandemic (and its local mismanagement) and the associated travel restrictions and mobility risk.
American citizens were by far the number one consumer of residence and citizenship by investment programs in the region — in 2021, 68.5% of new enquiries from the Americas came from the USA. This upward trend is continuing as Henley & Partners America has already received over 166% of 2021 enquiries by early February 2022, making 2022 on track to be another year of growth."
