UOBAM 2020 Investment Outlook – The Year Ahead


Looking Ahead to 2020

Stepping back from the brink of recession and peeking into 2020

As we begin a new decade, our Investment Outlook Seminar at the beginning of this year took on a future-forward tone with several topics focusing on issues that look set to disrupt the asset management industry. Chief among them is the impact of technology where we looked at how digital disruption has shaken up the banking industry and we can similarly draw parallels in asset management. At a post-seminar masterclass, we also took an in-depth look at the use of artificial intelligence, machine learning and data science, and how they can be applied to investment management. A deep dive into blockchain and cryptocurrency showed how it is democratising finance, tying in with our exploration of Impact Investing where we looked at how as investors, we can help to shape the world for the better. The bricks and mortar topic on global property was also discussed. Turning back to bread-and-butter issues, I took investors through our assessment of the current economic and market conditions and where we see opportunities as we embark on a new year.
