Resource theme weighting critical to weathering low prices. World-class assets underpin outperformance. High-grading has a vital role to play in future proofing portfolios. Covid-19 and the oil price collapse will be a call to action to strip out assets that are under water at low prices. ExxonMobil has the biggest opportunity to deliver margin expansion through the sale of low-margin assets.
