Equities First Holdings Partnership

Equities First Holdings Limited is thrilled to announce a collaboration with Economist Impact to bring forth a new series on the massively popular podcast channel, Asia Perspectives by Economist Impact.

The new podcast series, Shelter from the storm: Investing in the Era of Uncertainty, aims to help listeners understand the financial risks in the current climate, hear from wealth management experts about how these risks can be managed, and identify emerging investment opportunities. From the Sino-American trade war to hiking interest rates, the series will explore current geopolitical and economic events with seasoned wealth management professionals, and weigh up strategies they employ to protect financial assets against these threats.

A subsidiary of The Economist group, Economist Impact works with corporations, foundations, NGOs and governments across big themes and pressing issues, such as climate change, health security and gender equality, and drives value and change through uncovering insights from benchmarks, economic and social impact analysis, white papers, forecasting and scenario modelling. The new partnership sees the marriage of Economist Impact's extensive geographical reach and evidence-based policy research, and Equities First Holdings' abundance of experience and knowledge in the financial industry and economy at large.

Securing the future amidst troubled waves

'Can Asia Pacific benefit from deglobalisation?' , the first episode of Shelter from the storm, inspects the globalised economy under threat from COVID-19, deteriorating trade relations between superpowers, Russian invasion of Ukraine, and more. This episode will explore the longevity of the 'friendshoring' trend and the possible consequences on industries and economies, as well as investment strategies to mitigate risks and capture opportunities.

Managing risks with Equities First Holdings Financing

Be prepared for the coming storm. Equities First Holding's equities-based financing service provides a strong alternative to traditional financing solutions, allowing our partners to unlock liquidity without giving up the potential upsides of current holdings or existing positions at unfavourable prices.

As the world economy looks poised to continue polarising, it is made a priority for Equities First Holdings' risk management policy to adapt and hedge against incoming adversities and protect Equities First Holdings Limited and our partners' assets.
