About the event

2025 Market Outlook: A New World Order Ahead?

As we look ahead into 2025, how should investors navigate the markets amidst looming global uncertainties? Global equities continued its strong performance and returned high double digits as of mid-November 2024, as US “exceptionalism” continues to its bull run following the election win by President-Elect Donald Trump.

Closer to home, will the China/HK rally regain momentum next year as the Central government continues to announce a string of stimulus measures? Yet, heightened trade US-China tensions could further cloud the investment landscape. 

On fixed income, the Federal Reserve finally began cutting rates in Q3 2024, yet markets are concerned that Trump’s second presidency might derail the pace of rate cuts, as many of his proposed policies could further push up US inflation. 

To unpack all these questions, Endowus warmly invites you to join an exclusive in-person discussion on 3 December 2024 (Tue) from 6-8PM. Endowus’ Managing Director & Head of Hong Kong, Steffanie Yuen will host a panel of investment experts from Capital Group, PIMCO and Principal Asset Management for a fireside chat on the market outlook for 2025 and how investors should position for the investment portfolios.

Join us to gain valuable insights and prepare for the year ahead.
