Concluding Remarks
Key word remains uncertainty with any recovery in 2010 likely to be fairly weak
Weak growth picture poses a challenge for earnings, hence suggests cautious stance on equities
Within fixed income space, preference for corporate debt on valuations grounds
Moderately negative on Sterling vs. Euro
