Here’s the biggest challenge global investors will face in 2017

SINGAPORE (Dec 1): The biggest challenge investors will face in 2017 is to find yield at reasonable risk. This was the view expressed by Nannette Hechler Fayd’herbe, global head of investment strategy at Credit Suisse, in a Thursday release.

The financial services holding company today published its Investment Outlook for 2017, in which its investment experts have suggested that financial markets are likely to remain challenging in the year ahead.

For example, global gross domestic product (GDP) growth has been forecast to accelerate only slightly next year from 3.1% to 3.4%, while most asset classes are expected to generate low returns in 2017 with a slight rise in inflation and some monetary tightening.
