Key Takeaways 

 

Market Opportunity Ahead

  • Financial crisis is already a norm. It happens every once in a while. The government always steps in to prevent this and provide solution. Remain disciplined and invested.
  • NASDAQ rally: Investors are positioning early for next year’s uptrend, as an effect of pausing and cutting rates
  • Global/Asia: China re-opening is key 
  • Direct impact to PH: Expect that Chinese tourism will increase 
  • Direct Impact globally: Expect that there will also be influx of imports from other countries driving global GDP
  • On Taiwan and China: The real conflict lies more between U.S. and China. There’s a risk of having miscalculation between these two countries which may be low probability for now, but can be considered as high impact event when it arises. Great powers will not look for conflict.

What It Means for Your Investments/Savings

  • Philippines’ moderating inflation will lead to less aggressive BSP rate hikes. 
  • PSEi valuation is already close to GFC-low. Foreign ownership is at decade lows.
  • The catalysts for foreign inflows in PH: F/X stabilization, liquidity, low inflation, and new IPOs.
  • Very few PH banks have exposure on US Banks. We are overweight on banking sector as with higher interest rates, they can lend high and borrow low.

What You Should Do

  • Build the right portfolio
  • Re-assess risk profile/Re-allocate
  • Invest via cost averaging
  • Focus on growth and value
  • Have an investment/savings plan
  • Time in the market is more important over timing the market

Market Opportunities Ahead
  • China's reopening has a huge positive impact on global markets and expresses a more business friendly tone
  • The pandemic-induced supply chain shortages appear to be improving
  • The market is poised to improve, provided there are no energy price spikes, Ukraine-Russia conflict does not escalate, and oil supply chains remain strong
  • The bigger part of the rate hikes appear to be behind rather than ahead of us
  • Liquid assets (i.e., cash and cash equivalents, money market funds, T-bills, time deposits, among others) have a return for the first time in a decade
     

How These Affect Your Investments/Savings

  • For Bonds. Given the stabilization in interest rates, we see better opportunities for bond funds
  • For Equities. Global equities will stabilize once the Fed stops raising rates. Tech is already rebounding as tech stock investors anticipate lower rates moving forward. Volatility will remain
  • On the Banking Turmoil. The extraordinary interventions of central banks restored confidence and averted a global financial/ banking crisis. Local banks and financial institutions here are sound and stable, with no problems that the US regional banks or Credit Suisse faced

What You Should Do

  • Consider cash and cash alternatives. SLAMCI's money market funds, including Peso Starter Fund and Dollar Starter Fund, can potentially do better than savings accounts
  • Consider SLAMCI's Peso Bond Fund outlook. Bond Funds will benefit from inflation and rates going down, which will lead to potential price appreciation
  • Expect volatility in equities. Our Sun Life PSEi 2023 target is 7,850 but this comes with risk
