We turned to Jaime Arguello Chief Investment Officer of Architas, to share his thoughts on the first quarter and give an outlook for the months ahead. The beginning of 2020 has been marked by the Covid-19 pandemic, the stock market (equity) sell-off and rebound, as well as weighty responses from governments and central banks in terms of support packages. These stories have been widely reported, so we look at some other stories over the quarter.
