INVESTMENT OUTLOOK

Diversifying the diversifiers amid geopolitical tensions

Read about global markets and trends in this monthly Investment Outlook.

Published on 07 May 20241 minute read

This monthly commentary gives a roundup of global markets and trends. 

In this edition:

  • Given the uncertainty in the Middle East, we believe it is prudent to diversify portfolios to include energy stocks and gold
  • The outlook for the energy sector has been boosted by higher oil prices
  • Gold’s popularity continues to grow as demand strengthens
  • With the improving economic backdrop, the spectre of inflation continues to linger as a risk to bonds

 

The value of an investment may go down as well as up and you may get back less than you originally invested.

Past performance is not a guide to future performance.
