The increase in COVID-19 infections worldwide is once again putting more than a few obstacles in the way of economic recovery, which was beginning to give signs, albeit timid ones, of consolidation. For their part, financial markets continue to show widespread uncertainty due to the second pandemic wave, potentially triggering a risk off by investors.

While waiting to see the great aid programme put in place at European level, which will probably also have an impact on the mood of the markets, institutional investors are therefore facing a complex year-end. Alternative investment and decorrelated management could be the key to understanding what long-term investors have on their side to cope with this difficult times.

Tendercapital presents here the data of the Censis-Tendercapital Observatory on the Silver Economy, a research aimed at highlighting what the consequences of the pandemic are even for the most long-lived, over 65 years, if a gap has been created between young and old and how the latter reacted during the social, economic and health emergency.

Among the Observatory’s objectives is to understand if today, in the post Covid-19 period, the silver economy still represents a resource for society, if after the crisis generated by the spread of the Coronavirus and the three months of lockdown, active longevity is to be considered archived or if for the elderly it was only a terrible parenthesis, which can and must be overcome.
