The Fiscal Age

Three Forces Reshaping the Global Economy

Markets are entering a new regime.

For decades, monetary policy has been the dominant force shaping investment returns. Today, that is changing. As structural demographic shifts accelerate and geopolitical fragmentation reshape global capital flows, Governments across the global will be forced to take a more active role in our socioeconomic experience.

This is what we call “The Fiscal Age.”

In this latest thematic report, Ernst Knacke, Head of Investment Research at Shard Capital, explores the structural forces redefining markets and what they mean for investors today.

Key Themes from the Report:

  • Ageing populations are structurally reshaping growth and inflation
  • Geopolitical fragmentation is disrupting global trade and capital flows
  • Fiscal policy is overtaking monetary policy as the primary market driver
  • Traditional portfolio assumptions may no longer hold
