“Buy stocks for less than they are worth and hold them as long as it takes for the market to appreciate how undervalued they are.” That’s the tenet that formed the investing approach of Sir John Templeton, the famed contrarian and successful bargain hunter.
It’s also the approach that delivered equity market winners in recent months on the back of the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines and upbeat expectations of a steady restoration in business activity this year.
Event description
Over 90% of investors care about ESG investing, yet less than 30% have been able to implement it. There’s now a better way for Singaporeans About this Event
A survey conducted by Endowus showed that many of us feel strongly about ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) investing. While more than 93% of the respondents resonates with some or all aspects of ESG investing, 72% of all surveyed held no ESG investments. Concerns of greenwashing, lack of knowledge and lack of good options were the main reasons why sustainable investing had not been a part of their portfolio.
We see many possibilities to generate a triple bottom line of good returns and also positive social and environmental impact doing well and also doing good for profit, people and the planet. Hence why ESG investing is important to Endowus.
Investors will keep reaching for riskier assets to get returns in a U.S. economy poised for growth this year, according to Natixis Investment Managers.
The “dash for trash” will continue, Jack Janasiewicz, portfolio manager and strategist at Natixis Investment Managers, predicted Tuesday during the firm’s web event discussing markets amid the easing Covid-19 crisis. Financial conditions are “highly accommodative,” he said, adding that “it’s tough to see anything but a continued stretch for risk assets.”
At the same time, some investors worry that massive fiscal stimulus and easy monetary policy could stoke high inflation, according to Janasiewicz. The Natixis portfolio manager said the concern often comes up in client conversations, particularly with the recent jump in Treasury yields, but that he isn’t expecting a meaningful rise anytime soon.
