InvestNow News 3rd Oct – AMP Capital – Market Watch October 2019

Greg Fleming – Head of Investment Strategy New Zealand

There was a rebound in growth asset returns during September, with global equities returning more than 18% year-to-date. October is historically a challenging month for equities, but the fourth quarter may deliver further gains. Geopolitical noise continues with the Trump impeachment plan, BREXIT, Hong Kong, and Persian Gulf tensions in the headlines, however fears of imminent recession have receded and Central Banks are keeping the stimulus level very high. Greg also talks through the major asset classes and how our diversified are positioned given the outlook ahead.
