This document from JPMorgan discusses global asset allocation, with a focus on local risks and opportunities dominating investment strategies. The document mentions that US activity data is better than hoped, but consumer response to higher taxes is uncertain. It also highlights the search for carry in fixed income markets and Japan as a main country overweight in equities. Additionally, it notes that credit remains the troubled asset class with spreads wider in most markets, especially in emerging market external debt. The overall investment theme for this year appears to be a number of unrelated local forces with largely local impact, rather than a general global investment theme.
