| Key Takeaways | 1. Investors should not fear the current market volatility, instead learning to embrace the pullback will provide you with further opportunities to meet your investment goals. Historically, after a short-term pullback, risk assets such as equities tend to deliver healthy returns over the medium-to-long term.
2. We expect the ongoing US growth upturn to sustain into 2021, supported by recovering in earnings driven by supportive fiscal and monetary policy.
3. For investors who wish to participate in the US equity market movement but are held back by fear of volatility, Fixed Coupon Notes (“FCN”) offers you a tactical short-term strategy to earn regular income regardless of market movements.
