One of the largest money managers in the world is Capital Group, a global investment firm that manages over US$2 trillion for investors around the world. They are based in Los Angeles and like most global equity managers they had a very challenging 2022. Capital Group is recognized for having an extensive research team who contribute high conviction investment ideas alongside a group of experienced portfolio managers. Each year they publish an excellent report, Outlook - Long-term perspective on markets and economies, which we thought you might be interested in.
