Every quarter, Canterbury's Outsourced CIO committee shares their observations of the market that impact the management of our discretionary portfolios in the Canterbury Outsourced CIO Commentary.

The first three months of 2022 brought on a variety of external issues that directly or indirectly affected individuals in almost every country: the political and economic tragedies and uncertainties surrounding the Russian-Ukrainian war, possible risks associated with additional variants of the COVID-19 virus, disrupted supply chains, high inflation, rising interest rates, and fiscal and monetary tightening by most major central banks were a few of note.

Despite geopolitical concerns, underlying economic growth prospects remain positive as many economies continue to open, making it possible for business services, travel, and work to move towards pre-pandemic activity levels.
