VT Markets Holds Q4 Investment Forum

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 11 November 2024 - Award-winning brokerage VT Markets held its "Pioneering Global Investment" forum in Hong Kong on 2 November. The event tackled some of the most pressing questions on investment strategies and opportunities as the global brokerage heads into the last quarter of the year.



The world economy is an ever-changing pulse—moving to the beat of inflation, political tension, and the expectation of recovery.

For those looking to get ahead, trading successfully means finding the right opportunities, striking the right balance in asset allocation, and being a bit of a risk manager.

To help traders navigate the market's twists and turns, the forum brought together five top-notch speakers who covered everything from the importance of asset allocation to exploring new investment trends in sectors like gold, ETFs, and Hong Kong stocks.

About 400 traders and financial insiders joined to hear insights that were on-point, easy to apply, and steeped in real-world relevance.

Gold Futures as a Safe Haven and Prime Investment Opportunity

Given its safe-haven status in times of economic fluctuation, gold often emerges as the go-to choice for risk-averse traders. With global monetary policies constantly shifting, the brokerage saw gold once again in the spotlight.

VT Markets brought in expert analyst Eyad to break down the history and current appeal of gold futures. He took the audience through the asset's evolution, tying it all together with actionable advice based on both historical trends and today's market realities.

For those seeking a blend of stability and opportunity, Eyad's insights made a compelling case for gold futures as an anchor in a diversified portfolio.

Taking on Global Markets with Diversified Strategies

Wen Kit from KGI and Desmond Law of CSOP Asset Management then shared their perspectives on handling global markets with diversified asset allocations.

Wen's Q4 outlook was straightforward – Hong Kong stocks have been in a second consolidation phase for months, and it's key to watch for cues from major players like the U.S. and China. He projected a cautiously optimistic view for both Hong Kong and U.S. stocks, while Law stressed the benefits of diversification.

When market volatility is high, spreading investments can be a lifesaver, helping to cushion any bumps along the way.

A Bridge to Economic Growth

For those eyeing regional growth, Lin Jing Lung from Haiya Group highlighted the soon-to-be-completed ShenZhong Link project and its potential boost to Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area economies.

He urged traders to keep an eye on industries along this corridor, as they're likely to benefit from the project's completion.

Getting in early could mean riding the wave of growth as regional integration ramps up, so there's plenty of appeal for those looking at sector-specific investments.

Strategies for Hong Kong Stocks in Q4

Stock market guru Shum Chun Ying then took the stage to dive into some practical strategies for Hong Kong stocks as the market heads into the final quarter. Yes, the market's seen its ups and downs, but according to Shum, there's still solid potential, especially in tech and high-dividend stocks.

His advice was clear – keep your risk tolerance in mind, stay agile with your portfolio, and don't lose sight of policy shifts. In times of turbulence, those who adapt quickly tend to fare best.

Overall, the forum brought a mix of thought-provoking insights and down-to-earth strategies that left attendees feeling empowered and prepared.

Traders walked away with clear, actionable advice, balancing the depth of academic knowledge with the real-world practicality they can use in their portfolios.

The brokerage remains committed to giving traders and investors a platform where they can get the latest in market insights, helping them make smart, informed decisions in a world that's anything but predictable.
