Investors must diversify to navigate ‘world of uncertainty’ in 2025
Focus on defensive strategies, particularly around Asia and countries with minimal trade exposure, say investment strategists
INVESTMENT strategists are gearing up for a year of heightened market volatility and trade policy uncertainty, according to their 2025 outlook.
However, Bank of Singapore (BOS) chief economist Mansoor Mohi-uddin believes that investors should be prepared for both downside and upside risks.
Speaking at BOS’ 2025 Outlook conference on Thursday (Jan 9), he pointed to potential risks, such as a surprise move by US president-elect Donald Trump to pull the US out of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, but also identified possible positive scenarios, including a deal with Iran or a grand bargain with China.
