While equities tend to fluctuate more than bonds, they also offer more growth potential. An active, analytical approach to equity investing that hones in on specific opportunities in a broad range of markets can help investors capture potential growth while reducing the impact of short-term volatility.
The value of learning to let go
As global markets begin to emerge from an extended period of financial repression, investors are grappling with competing demands to go further to secure returns, while also preparing for the possible return of volatility.
At a time like this long-term value can be cultivated only through a tactical, multi-asset investment strategy that seizes on opportunities in a number of asset classes, while achieving deep levels of diversification to ensure resiliency to risk. Active management helps improve independence from counterproductive behavioural trends, and to drive portfolio performance throughout periods of change.
