Economic activity across major\nregions has continued to expand, corporate earnings have remained supportive,\nand investments in transformational technologies such as artificial\nintelligence (AI) continue to underpin long-term growth prospects.\n\nWhile investors continue to contend with geopolitical developments, trade\npolicy changes and questions surrounding the outlook for interest rates, UOBAM\nbelieves that market volatility should be viewed as an opportunity for\ndisciplined investors to position for attractive long-term returns.\n\nOn interest rates, UOBAM does not expect an aggressive rate hiking cycle or\nbond yields to continue surging higher as many of the factors driving price\npressures are showing signs of moderation.\n\nWithin equities, UOBAM remains positive, with a preference for the US and\nAsia. The US continues to offer a compelling combination of earnings growth,\ninnovation and market depth. Asia, meanwhile, offers attractive long-term\nfundamentals, supported by stronger economic growth, compelling valuations and\nleadership positions in industries such as semiconductors, memory, alternative\nenergy and electric vehicles.\n\nAnthony Raza, Head of UOBAM Multi-Asset Strategy, said, \"The key story for\ninvestors is that the global economy has stayed strong despite a constant\nstream of headwinds. It is hard to find a period in history when global\ncorporate earnings growth has been as strong as it is today, especially this\nfar into an economic expansion. However, the economic cycle is showing classic\nlate-cycle signs. Ultimately, while today's late-cycle signals warrant\nmonitoring, we believe it remains too early to step away from a\ngrowth-oriented investment strategy.\"\n\nIn its asset allocation strategy, UOBAM remains overweight equities and\nunderweight fixed income.
