Focus Malaysia: Holding Power is Key to Prevailing in Volatile Times
CEO and Executive Director of Kenanga Investors’, Ismitz Matthew De Alwis’ recent article, Holding Power is Key to Prevailing in Volatile Times, has been published in this week’s issue of Focus Malaysia. Seemingly weak economic prospects have businesses possessing negative sentiments on 2019. Despite this, De Alwis believes that during times of market instability, holding power is inevitably the best form of resilience. While holding power does not guarantee consistent profit in times of high volatility, it does provide that little advantage of enabling investors to hold onto their investment till the storm has subsided. In the long run, possessing strong holding power means being able to make wiser investment decisions as it relieves investors from the pressure of anticipating quick returns. In this regard, investors have the liberty to indulge in fundamentally sound undervalued counters whose price depreciation is only temporary.
