Introduction
Coronavirus or COVID-19 has been and remains headline news across the globe, as governments take action to manage the pandemic. The impact of the virus is being felt in every area of our lives, including on the world’s investment markets.
In its efforts to keep clients informed and regularly updated, Frenkel Topping’s investment experts have prepared the following report to analyse the impact of COVID-19 on world markets in the context of other historical cases of extreme market volatility.
Whilst we cannot predict what will happen over the shorter term, we can look at what has happened in the past and on that basis, we are focused on a positive long term outlook.
The report supports Frenkel Topping’s response to the COVID-19 situation and our belief that current market volatility, whilst obviously significant, is temporary. The global economy is in good shape over the medium-to-long term and we remain confident in how our portfolios are performing in response to the situation.
