Generate Investment Update

In this month’s Investment Update, Generate’s Nathan Field takes 5 minutes to share his insights following a trip to the US. He also discusses the Chinese sharemarket and whether Generate invests in China. The key takeaways are:

• In the Tech sector every company he saw continues to lean into AI. There is still a lot of innovation, investment and excitement. AI is going to be at the core of technology for a long time to come.
• In the Financial Services sector, banks were quite upbeat and not seeing any problems in credit or delinquencies. They are optimistic going into next year with the prospect of declining interest rates.
• As things stand today, it was a positive take on the state of the US economy.
• Nathan is looking forward to the US election being behind us. It is the uncertainty, rather than the outcome, which markets dislike most.
• China’s comprehensive stimulus package was viewed positively by investors. There is a lot of upside if the Chinese government gets it right this time.
