In @FETrustnet, Will James explains how he looks for returns to come from strong and persistent cashflow being reinvested in companies’ future growth as well as paying sustainable dividends – and this is why defence stocks, despite good recent performance, haven’t featured in the Guinness European Equity Income Fund.

Real assets (including infrastructure and real estate) have proven their worth since the start of the Iran War - but what about the future? The events of 2022 could be a guide. While the current turmoil and energy disruption are different to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the emergence from Covid, the sector's performance during that sharp inflation spike is nonetheless an interesting comparator. The biggest rise in inflation came in 2022, and over that year, the MSCI World Core Infrastructure Index meaningfully outperformed the MSCI World Index, as shown in the re-based chart below. If we see inflation begin to rise significantly again, the sector could offer relative safety amid wider equity markets, as it has done so far in 2026.

It takes around a month for Gulf oil exports to reach their ultimate destinations, so oil-consuming countries will be starting to use inventories. Ultimately, demand will need to be destroyed (via higher prices) for the market to balance the physical loss of around 10m b/day, and this is starting to happen. Following last week’s steady rise, Brent is now at $115/bl, approaching our rough demand-destruction level of $120/bl and above (although there are many factors in play). Energy equities have benefited from higher near-term profitability and higher long-term oil prices, but current valuations still appear far from overheated.

As markets look ahead to 2026, opportunities are emerging beyond US mega-cap technology. Our portfolio manager Ian Mortimer, co-manager of our Guinness Global Equity Income, notes in @_moneymarketing 's latest article that quality sectors such as consumer staples and healthcare have lagged despite strong fundamentals and attractive dividend profiles. “Consumer staples are trading at discounts to where they’ve been historically and yet the businesses are doing very well, and paying high dividends from strong earnings. It’s a similar picture for the healthcare sector. There are good opportunities out there, away from these big technology names.” With dividends remaining robust, income-focused investors may find compelling value in areas that have been overlooked.
