Going back to first principles
By Anthony Raza
Senior Director and Head of Multi-Asset Strategy,
UOB Asset Management
It has been a really tough call to make on the outlook for 2019. The severe market correction at the end of 2018 posed the difficult question of whether to call a time-out on our constructive stance on markets or to roll with the punches.
The December 2018 equity market correction, which was more severe than other bull market corrections and is outside the norms of what we have seen before, triggered our ‘crisis tools’. Ultimately, the 2019 call boiled down to whether we determined that the fourth quarter correction was a warning signal to dial back risk or an aberration from which markets can rebound – in which case it would be remiss of us not to recommend staying invested.

道 – by Tan Rui Rong, 2013 UOB Painting of the Year Silver Award Winner (Established Artist)
The ancient Chinese script for “Dao” (道) or “The Way”, at the centre of the painting symbolises man at a crossroads contemplating his next move. The raindrops falling onto the lotus bud nourish it and captivate the dragonfly – a metaphor for life; personifying the creative ways of nature.
