Sun Life Asset Management OFFERS BRIGHT INITIATIVES IN TIMES OF MARKET UNCERTAINTIES
“There will be more negatives before we see positives in the economy.” (Michael D. Enriquez , Sun Life Financial Philippines Chief Investments Officer)
In
this period of market uncertainties where inflation continues to peak, prices
of commodities is rising, there’s a shortage in the rice supply, oil prices is
rising and there’s higher excise taxes because of the TRAIN law, and let’s not forget
that Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas might further tighten interest rates by 25
basis points more this year following the US interest trend, it seems
everything is becoming bleak for us Filipinos.
Hearing
the above quote made by Sun Life Financial Philippines Chief Investments
Officer Michael D. Enriquez during his presentation of SLAMCI’s Market Outlook
for 2019 that was held at the Makati Shangri-la Hotel last October 2, 2018, he
somehow appeased us that there’s a brighter outlook for the Philippine economy
in the months to come.
Despite
the happenings in our economy he shared that, “There will be more negatives
before we see positives in the economy but it doesn’t mean there’s no
opportunity to enter markets right now.” If you’re into investing, this is the
time to pick up equities.
By
the start of 2019, inflation should “stabilize” and return to normal which is
right up the alley of the 2-4 percent goal of the inflation-targeting by the
BSP. Remember that there were many factors why the inflation rate hikes up this
year.
With
inflation being regulated by 2019 the country’s GDP could grow at 7 percent.
Also, Sun Life presumes that the peso will stabilize by year-end and begins to
appreciate by next year.
As
this is the time where you can still pick up equities, Sun Life’s bright
offerings of initiatives is good news for the Filipinos who still believes on
the brighter future. We may not expect to see the market rally anytime soon but
at Sun Life we can enjoy the following bright offers:
