Stocks, Bonds or something else? Allocating in a Shifting Market with Joe Little

Stocks, Bonds or something else? Allocating in a Shifting Market

A Fireside Debate with Joe Little, Global Chief Strategist, HSBC Asset Management

What happens when a global investment strategist meets a room full of ambitious, opinionated LBS minds ready to challenge the consensus?

Markets are shifting. Traditional investment strategies are being questioned. AI is rewriting valuations, geopolitical tensions are reshaping capital flows, and institutional investors face difficult choices about where to deploy capital.

But here’s the real question: are the world’s leading investors getting it right?

The Investment Management Club at London Business School is delighted to welcome Joe Little, Global Chief Strategist at HSBC Asset Management, for an interactive fireside debate that goes beyond conventional market outlooks.

The Big Questions on the Table

💷 Where would you invest £1 billion today?
Equities, bonds, cash or alternatives? Where does conviction outweigh uncertainty?

⚖️ Is the 60/40 portfolio dead, or are investors overreacting?
Challenging the foundations of traditional asset allocation.

🤖 AI boom or investment bubble?
Are current valuations justified by long-term fundamentals, or is enthusiasm running ahead of reality?

🔍 What is the market getting wrong?
Questioning consensus forecasts, overlooked risks and potentially mispriced opportunities.

🔄 What would make you change your mind?
How a global strategist tests investment convictions and responds when the evidence changes.

The LBS Challenge: Don’t Just Listen. Challenge.

This isn’t a traditional keynote or a one-way conversation.

Joe enjoys a good debate, and we’re taking him up on that invitation. Expect sharp questions, competing investment perspectives and a stimulating exchange between Joe and the LBS community.

Bring your strongest investment thesis. Question the assumptions. Defend your conviction. And be prepared to have your own thinking challenged.

At LBS, we believe the most valuable investment insights come not just from asking questions, but from having the courage to challenge the answers.
