‘Be very selective’: Analysts urge caution as market turmoil set to persist

CNA reports on how investors should remain cautious amid ongoing market volatility triggered by sweeping US tariffs. While markets remain under pressure, Hugh Chung, Chief Investment Officer at Endowus, highlights the importance of portfolio diversification. He notes that high-quality bonds are becoming increasingly valuable as a volatility dampener, especially with rising recession risks. Investors are encouraged to reassess their asset allocation and understand the trade-offs of different investment options—such as yield, lock-up periods, duration, minimum investment thresholds, and fees—before making decisions.
