Focus Malaysia - Positive Outlook for Equities
In relation to Kenanga Investors’ recent win at the Fundsupermart.com’s Recommended Unit Trusts Awards 2017/2018 (“Awards”), Mr Ismitz Matthew De Alwis (Executive Director & Chief Executive Officer of Kenanga Investors) was featured in an interview with Focus Malaysia, the official media partner of Fundsupermart.com for the Awards. He spoke about the positive signs that have emerged for the equity market which may result in a probable rebound in corporate earnings. However, he cautioned that there is still a chance of a “minor pull-back on negative news flows” given the current volatile geopolitical landscape. Hence, De Alwis said that Kenanga Investors will continue to focus on in-depth research, supported by its risk management measures to navigate any possible volatility.
On the award clinched by Kenanga Investors, he states that the company’s bottom-up strategy has helped to record quite impressive returns on its funds. He also reminded investors that all unit trusts and private retirement schemes are mid-to-long-term investment vehicles where it is best for investors to stay committed in order for them to be able to see the returns at the end of their investment horizon.
