Global Markets Update November 2023

We asked the brilliant Lindsay James, Investment Strategist at Quilter Investors, if she could provide a 5 minute update on the global economy and financial markets.

In a little over 5 minutes, Lindsay explains why it’s important for investors to understand the difference between the economy and the financial markets. Specifically, how the markets are forward looking and tend to react 06 months ahead of the economy.
