International Market Overview

Philippine Market

The Philippine market has been on an upward trend for the past six weeks, primarily due to recent interest rate cuts and increased foreign investor inflow. Currently, the PSE index stands at 7424.46.

Recommendation:
Our team advises selling off holdings now, as we project the PSE index may only reach 7600. Many investors are realizing gains, and it may be a good time for you to do the same and consider reinvesting elsewhere.

China Market

China’s economy has been struggling for over three years, but recent efforts by the government have shown some positive results. Since September 10, 2024, there has been a sharp growth of 22.32% in just one month.

You can check the growth graph here.

Future Outlook:
We anticipate an additional 10% growth in the next month. However, keep an eye on the upcoming US election. If Trump wins, it could negatively impact the China fund index and neighboring countries. You may want to consider pulling out your China fund investment if this occurs.

India Market

Since March 21, 2023, India's economy has grown by 37.88%. The outlook remains positive as many foreign investors are setting up manufacturing offices in the country to take advantage of lower labor costs.

Global Technology Sector

The global technology sector has experienced significant growth of 47% over the past two years. As AI continues to be integrated across various industries, this sector is likely moving toward maturity.

Recommended Funds (Lower Risk):

• Global Multi-Asset Diversified Income (GMADI)

• Global Dynamic Leaders Fund

• American Growth Equity Fund

Bonds

Bonds (GPI) are expected to continue rising through next year, making them a potentially safe investment choice in the current market environment.

Recommended Actions:

Below, we’ll go over some recommended actions to help you navigate this month’s financial highlights and adjust your portfolio for a balanced approach to risk and reward.

1. Philippine Market: Realize Gains by Selling Holdings

The Philippine market has shown favorable growth recently, making it a good time for investors to consider selling some holdings to lock in gains. By capitalizing on the recent upswing, you can secure profits and strategically reinvest in other high-potential areas or use the returns for future investment opportunities.

2. China Market: Monitor Political Developments

China's market remains influenced by its current political landscape. With potential regulatory changes and economic policies affecting investor confidence, it’s wise to keep a close eye on any shifts. Consider adjusting your exposure if necessary, especially if you notice signs of market instability.

3. India Market: Remain Invested for Growth

India’s market continues to show promise as it benefits from rapid economic development and a strong domestic economy. Staying invested in India can allow you to capture potential long-term growth, making it a valuable component of a globally diversified portfolio.

4. Technology Sector: Diversify into Lower-Risk Funds

Technology remains one of the fastest-evolving sectors, but it’s also volatile. To mitigate risk, explore technology funds with a more conservative approach. Investing in diversified, lower-risk tech funds provides access to innovation while protecting your portfolio from potential downturns in specific companies or sub-sectors.

5. Bonds: Aim for Steady Growth

For those looking for stability, bonds offer steady growth opportunities. Bonds can add balance to your portfolio, especially in uncertain markets, by providing a reliable income stream and reducing overall risk.

Why Diversification Matters

Each market offers unique opportunities and risks, which is why diversifying your investments remains essential. A well-diversified portfolio helps you manage risk, so you’re prepared for the ups and downs of different markets and sectors.
