SINGAPORE, Aug 18 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) — In Singapore, as elsewhere, equity markets are facing heightened uncertainty stemming from rising inflation, slowing growth, the prospects of higher interest rates and geopolitical tensions. Amidst this unsettling shifting backdrop, investors may be wondering how to manage the resulting volatility within their portfolios or whether they should remain invested. Global investment management and research firm, AllianceBernstein (AB), says that exiting a rocky market instead of sticking it out may lead to worse results for nervous investors.
AllianceBernstein’s approach to low-volatility investing targets companies with three fundamental characteristics: quality, stability and price, in order to help mitigate downside risks and generate greater returns for investors when markets recover. AllianceBernstein finds that stocks of quality companies with stable performance patterns, and that are trading at attractive prices are a good way to navigate volatility.
