Capital versus COVID-19: Investment assets confront their toughest opponent in decades –

Greg Fleming, Head of Investment Strategy, AMP Capital New Zealand

Wednesday 1 April 10-11am

Greg Fleming discusses investment strategies in a market – rocked by this Black Swan event

Five key points to be addressed:

• How should investors cope with the “black swan” type of market shock we have seen? Was prudent prior asset allocation possible?
• Which growth asset types stand the best chance of future performance, and which are the safest route to recover portfolio value?
• The record 11-year equity bull market has been felled by the COVID-19 crisis. However, the crisis has simply extended the multi-decade bull bond market. With yields so low, is this asset class in a fear-driven bubble and no longer truly “risk-free?”
• Will dramatic government intervention be required to support markets and prevent a severe shock to the coming wave of retirees’ savings?
• Where might second-round market risks lie, and how to best minimize them in portfolio exposures. What does “asset quality” mean now?
