Signal-to-noise ratio in the markets
There is a lot of background noise in the markets—a cacophonous hum of information from a plethora of sources, but seemingly less of the desired signals that can help investors make their money grow.
It's a tough job to be an investment counselor.
But in our story, "2024 World Economic Forum Highlights: 5 things that stood out", we list some of the signals that we think should guide you in your strategy this year. That's what we're here for, despite the ominous murmur of events from various parts of the globe—to guide you in your wealth journey.
In our second story, "Policy Rate Updates: US Fed’s easing likely to be slower than expected", we give you our outlook for policy rates in the US and in the Philippines. In some way, they are inextricably linked.
The third story, "Metrobank UITFs top list of best-performing funds among local large banks",?is about some unit investment trust funds (UITFs) you may want to check out. It's not just because they are from Metrobank. They actually had the highest returns in 2023, according to the latest reports from the funds themselves.
That's all for this week. May we all learn to amplify the signal-to-noise ratio in our investment strategy.
