Maintain strategic exposure to all four growth/inflation environments. The matrix is an active tilt overlay, not a replacement for the balanced core.

Overheat: growth is positive, but inflation pressure is still running hot.

Lean modestly toward the growth-up and inflation-up sleeves, while watching for policy tightening and inflation persistence.

• Equities and credit with pricing power
• Inflation-linked bonds
• Commodities and inflation-sensitive assets

• Long nominal duration
• Rate-sensitive defensives
• Low-quality credit if policy stress rises

• Softer HICP, core inflation, or wage pressure would reduce the inflation-up tilt.
• A weaker growth composite would move the view toward Stagflation.
• A higher stress score would argue for smaller sizing and more liquidity.

Stress is contained, so the base regime bias can be expressed more directly without an extra defensive overlay.

Confidence is high enough for the positioning view to be actionable, subject to normal portfolio sizing discipline.
