Seven clear themes can be drawn from the results . Inflation and ESG are two themes highlighted in an earlier report released in late December , which can be viewed here . The other five themes are examined in further detail below .
1 . Investors are positive on the overall outlook for 2022
Despite rampant inflation and the risk of another wave of coronavirus hampering the global recovery , the majority of investors are bullish on the outlook for markets over the next 12 months . Highlighting this , some 55 % of the 105 respondents are either “ positive ” or “ very positive ” while 38 % are “ neutral ” and just 7 % are “ negative ”. This would be a continuation from last year when markets delivered some of the best returns in a decade following the dramatic sell-off in March 2020 . Since the low point on 20 March 2020 , the S & P 500 has returned 102 %.
