According to foreign media, HSBC Asset Management said in its 2022 investment outlook,  nvestors may brace for a “pay-back period”in 2022 following a year of strong gains, as macroeconomic risks mount.

   “A complex macro outlook is exacerbated by higher valuations and lower margins of safety in markets. We should expect cross-asset volatility to rise,” said Joseph Little, HSBC Asset Management Global Chief Strategist.

    HSBC also expects high single-digit profit growth as economic expansion slows on the back of supply and demand imbalances and a gradual normalization of monetary policy.

    It sees GDP growth slowing to a 4-5% range worldwide, with the U.K. and China towards the top of that range and the U.S. and Europe nearer the bottom.
