Still 'plenty of money to be made' from markets, say experts

SINGAPORE (Dec 15): Despite a big run in global stock markets this year and clear indications that interest rates are on an upward trajectory, there is still plenty of money to be made if investors focus on the right sectors and keep an eye on valuations.

That is the broad consensus of the four speakers at The Edge Singapore’s 2017 Year-End Investment Forum, held at Suntec Singapore International Convention & Exhibition Centre on Dec 9.

A J Kahling, senior market strategist at TD Ameritrade, notes that stocks around the world have more or less appreciated in unison this past year. And, rather than abandoning the market altogether, many of his firm’s clients are switching from sectors that have run strongly to those that have lagged behind.
