We’re joined today by Denise Chisholm, Director of Quantitative Market Strategy, for another instalment of her sector watch, where she will take us through the factors and sectors to pay attention to.

Portfolio manager Patrice Quirion takes us through his investment approach to finding quality at a reasonable price. For Canadian investors, Patrice manages Fidelity Global Concentrated Equity Fund, and Fidelity International Concentrated Equity Fund. Patrice reflects on 2021 and shares his current strategy looking ahead at 2022’s market environment, noting there are similarities and differences between the two years. Some of this is the reopening trade with anticipations turning into actual events taking place, and the renormalization of spending, away from goods and more into services. Being a global investor, Patrice also shares why investors should be looking beyond the U.S. Patrice unpacks if the pandemic permanently changed consumer behaviours, and touches on how he looks at market trends and leadership, as a contrarian investor.

Factors are in focus on today’s podcast, with our guest Bobby Barnes, Head of Quantitative Index Solutions at Fidelity. Bobby shares that with a potential economic slowdown in 2022, value does not have the same tailwind it traditionally would have in a rising rate environment. When it comes to growth, Bobby believes it’s very important in 2022 to bifurcate growth and look at quality growth and speculative growth separately. Bobby and host Pamela Ritchie also discuss the rebalance of momentum towards higher quality names, inflation, financials, and themes tied to energy including clean energy and government support.
