William Andrew , Head of London & Home Counties , Advisory Sales

With cash rates peaking and markets at all-time highs , many market participants find themselves with investment paralysis . What ' s next - is there life after cash ?

The long-term case for investing over holding cash is clear . Yet , with an economic and market background fraught with uncertainty , the allure of high cash rates has been strong .

Now , the signals are that with inflation falling , interest rate cuts will come sooner rather than later . Some clients may be starting to question whether cash is really where they want to be .

If you have clients who are asking this question , then our client-facing video could help support your ongoing conversations .

In this video , Alex Funk , CIO , Schroder Investment Solutions and Tara Jameson , Co-Manager of the Schroder Global Multi-Asset Portfolios continue the discussion from our last video about cash vs investing . Using research from our in-house teams , they reinforce the case for investing and staying invested over the long term .
