I have come back from a seminar by Invesco Perpetual, where I received information on their future investment strategy. Getting information like this direct from the Fund Managers of one of the most efficient investment companies is worth considering, and building into your investment strategy.
Be aware, that when advising clients and building our Principle First portfolios, we are continuously making use of the information we get at these meetings.
Global Emerging Markets and Asia, is where Invesco think the majority of growth will occur over the next year. they feel that Corporate Bonds will continue to do well until the end of the second quarter next year. Invesco Perpetual’s Corporate Bond is one of the largest funds of its type.
They also highlighted those clients who feel they do not wish to venture outside the UK investment market. These clients may still be heavily exposed to the world economy, as companies within the UK funds often have considerable operations offshore. These firms are also very open to volatile exchange rates. It’s worth thinking about. I have commissioned John Doherty our Editor and chief researcher to look into this more.
For those investors who believe they can invest in the short term, and not the medium to long term, here is a great piece of information:
79% of shares purchased on a 1 year period are purchased by sentiment.
18% of shares purchased on a 5 year period are purchased on sentiment.
Leave sentiment for the losers; invest for the medium term.
