Discussing investment strategies in volatile times at BT-StanChart roundtable

Panellists will discuss strategies on how to stay invested amid the volatile and ever-changing environment at a roundtable organised by The Business Times and Standard Chartered (StanChart) on Monday (Jan 19).

Titled “Invest with Clarity Amid Shifting Currents”, the closed-door event will bring together experts to discuss the investment landscape for 2026.

Topics include bright spots in equities – which will touch on the artificial intelligence theme and opportunities in emerging markets – as well as the outlook for income assets amid tightening spreads.

The panel will also look at diversification plays, such as gold and foreign exchange exposures.

The panel features Steve Brice, global chief investment officer of StanChart, and Albert Tse, chief executive of Amundi South Asia.

It will be moderated by BT wealth editor Genevieve Cua.
