Last week: Week ending 28 November 2025

The Dynamic Planner Benchmarks delivered positive returns last week, ranging from 0.56% to 0.86%, as risk sentiment stabilised following the previous week’s sell-off. North American equities led gains as investors unwound some of the prior week’s defensive positioning and shifted back towards risk-taking.

Fixed income produced mixed results: UK Gilts firmed amid activity surrounding the Budget announcement, while UK Inflation-Linked Gilts lagged following sluggish inflation data, reflecting a rotation towards nominal assets.

Overall, the week reflected a measured and sentiment-driven recovery in risk assets, though conditions remain fragile and markets continue to adjust quickly when confidence shifts.
