Opportunities abound in times of adversity.
Kenanga Investors’ Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Ismitz Matthew De Alwis has written an article entitled “Opportunities abound in times of adversity” which was featured in The Star and The Star Online last weekend.
In this article, Mr De Alwis advises investors to detect the positive in every negative situation or at best, re-strategise their asset class allocation instead of immediately falling into a state of panic or alarm. He argues that even in the most bearish of equity markets, there would still be gems in certain stocks that may be able to buck the downtrend.
Investors should not generalise all stocks to be bearish just because the market seems to be in a downtrend.
