Citi Global Wealth Investments Head & Chief Investment Officer David Bailin: “Over time, the US stock market has never bottomed before an associated recession has even begun, so we regard recent equity upside as a bear market rally. A year like 2022 can make holding excess cash seem tempting, but the clear lesson of history is that this almost always leads to missing opportunities when markets begin to recover. For 2023, we reiterate the fundamental wisdom of keeping portfolios fully invested, anticipating the opportunities that we expect.”
Citi Steven Wieting Citi Global Wealth Investments Chief Investment Strategist & Chief Economist Steven Wieting: “The sharp declines across many asset classes in 2022 has left long-term valuations more attractive.
For the first time in several years, for example, we see genuine portfolio value in fixed income. Short duration US Treasuries present a compelling alternative to holding cash.”
Citi Ken Peng Citi Global Wealth Investments Head of Asia Investment Strategy Ken Peng: “In equities, we seek exposure to recovery in China and Hong Kong, with initial focus on re-opening beneficiaries, followed by industries that have policy support. In fixed income, we favour higher rated financials, energy, materials and tech/telecom.”
