The investment world has been dealt with a black swan event with COVID-19. Volatility has been extreme in financial markets and the outlook remains uncertain. The economic outlook for the year ahead looks bleak, and economists are describing living with COVID as a “new normal”.
Is there a “new normal” in financial markets? What will this look like? Or will markets return to what we had predicted before COVID and past trends resume? How should investors seek diversification, in what asset classes and what investment themes do we see developing?
Shedding light on this are our FWA champions who are experts in various asset classes - fixed income, equities and private equity/venture capital. Liew Tzu Mi, Chief Investment Officer (Fixed Income) at GIC, Anubhuti Gupta, Head of APAC, Rosenberg Equities at AXA Investment Managers and Hian Goh, Founding Partner at Openspace Ventures. Moderating this discussion is Shen Wenting, Solutions Strategist at T Rowe Price.
Registration starts at 12.15 pm. Registrants will be provided with a zoom link for the event closer to date.
