The Chief Executive of Standard Chartered Wealth Management Limited, Dr. Setor Quashigah, is urging Ghanaians to take advantage of global investments and diversify their portfolio.
According to her, investors must always look outside the country and not only focus on domestic bonds.
"There’s a measure of risk associated with every investment. It is important to know your risk appetite to guide you in determining what options best meet your personal goals", she said.
Speaking to Joy Business when the bank shared the Global Market Outlook 2024 with some clients, Dr. Quashigah said the global investment space is positive and good for people to throng in to invest.
“At Standard Chartered, we are proud to say that the dark days are getting behind us and we have seen bonds perform well. We have global bonds that have performed significantly well and we encourage our clients not to look at the past events to determine whether they would invest or not”, she said.
She said a further decline in the inflation rate would help maintain stability in the investment market and boost confidence in the sector.
“We expect that bonds will do well going forward. We will see inflation going down and it’s a good time for people to take advantage of offshore investments available, grade A-rated bonds, corporate and sovereign bonds that clients can invest in.”
She emphasized the ripple effects of developments in one part of the world affecting others, and advised investors to seize the abundant opportunities available by diversifying their holdings.
Amidst these opportunities, industry experts have been pointing to the global technology market also as the most promising investment avenue.
Individual investors and corporate institutions are also urged to take advantage of Standard Chartered Wealth Management Limited in order to access expert advice on how to grow and protect their investments.
