Thinking Beyond Australia in 2018
With over 20 years’ investment industry experience, Bryce Doherty currently heads up UBS Asset Management in Australia, managing a team of 65 employees locally, and $48 billion of invested assets in Australia. With investment offerings spanning domestic and global equities, cash and fixed income, multi-asset and exchange traded funds (ETF), the fund manager has solidified itself as one of the largest global asset management businesses in the Australian market.
In his C-Suite outlook, Bryce discusses how investors have benefited from strong returns in Australian equities for years, but questions if they can still justify heavy domestic investment with a population of just 24 million? In this video series, Bryce examines changes across the globe, the rising economic strength of China and the evolution of the Australian advice industry, to analyse where future opportunities lie.

Where is the Smart Money Going in 2018
For almost 30 years, Australia has benefited from strong economic growth and asset price increases. However, UBS Asset Management now sees emerging markets, and China in particular, as holding great investment potential for the future. Managing director Bryce Doherty, discusses where he sees the ‘smart money’ going in 2018, and the role of China’s emerging middle class in spurring this on.
China: What’s Really Going On?
Since the ‘80s, 700 million Chinese people have moved from rural areas into the cities, bringing with them a growing middle class and demand for goods, services and technology. This has resulted in stellar growth, and as China looks to improve the quality of its economic growth, as opposed to seeking out growth-at-all-costs, UBS Asset Management shares why this is set to be a huge opportunity for investors.
2018: Everything Changes, Everything Stays the Same
In 2017, we saw Europe return to economic strength, more noise around ‘bubbles’, and advisers looking outside their own practices to create efficiencies for their own benefit and for their clients. In 2018, UBS Asset Management anticipates client demand for advice will continue to grow and advisers will need to reframe their thinking in light of even longer-term client investment horizons.
