Speaker : Altaf Kassam
When we think about the risks to our outlook, um, there's three things I think that I'd like to emphasize. One is that markets seem, uh, very optimistic right now almost to the risk of complacency. And, uh, even though that's not a risk in itself, it does leave markets more fragile and vulnerable to shocks. Now, where could those shocks come from? One, uh, source could be potentially sustained higher inflation or a policy misstep, which, uh, kind of accelerates a move towards tighter monetary policy, which the market isn't ready for. And then 00;00;35;06 finally, if bond yields rise for good reasons in response to evolve in growth as well, then again, if the market isn't prepared for that, then in its fragile and more complacent state that could provide a risk to our quite optimistic outlook.

Investing in foreign domiciled securities may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, withholding taxes, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or political instability in other nations.
Bonds generally present less short-term risk and volatility than stocks, but contain interest rate risk (as interest rates raise, bond prices usually fall); issuer default risk; issuer credit risk; liquidity risk; and inflation risk. These effects are usually pronounced for longer-term securities. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to a substantial gain or loss.
Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss. Investing involves risk including the risk of loss of principal.
