Richard Bernstein, CEO and CIO of Richard Bernstein Advisors (RBA), shares his macroeconomic perspective during his first visit to Paris for the promotion of the Hottinguer Active Global Allocation Fund, co-managed by Banque Hottinguer and RBA. In this talk, he explains RBA’s macro-driven approach to investing, focusing on asset allocation, geography, style, and industry rather than individual stock selection. Rich discusses current market speculation around the “Magnificent 7”, the importance of diversification in thought process, and why contrarian portfolios build resilience. He explores themes such as deglobalization, stagflation, and the impact of monetary policy on liquidity and portfolio construction, highlighting opportunities in international quality, value, and dividend-oriented equities as well as agency mortgage-backed securities. This speech offers a deep dive into RBA’s investment philosophy and how macroeconomic awareness can shape long-term performance in global markets.
