At a time when people are losing their lives and the threat of a widespread conflict in Europe continues to rise, writing about the investment consequences can feel insensitive. It’s little surprise that while multi asset managers, and managers in general, have been keen to share their thoughts on how they are managing money following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February, there has also been a need to add in a note that their thoughts are with those people most affected. It is understandable that no group wants to be seen as in any way trying to make money out of the unfolding events.

The Dow jumped by 2 percent, the S&P 500 even more and the tech-heavy Nasdaq an impressive 3.6 percent. Frankfurt rocketed by nearly 8 percent and Paris more than 7 percent, with analysts also crediting the gains to talk of a plan to issue more joint debt to fast-track green energy and renewables, defense and subsidies for spiking energy costs.
