What global investment opportunities still exist amid Covid-19?

Loading player...
In this edition of the Business Day Spotlight, we take a look at the global investment landscape for SA investors looking for opportunities in other parts of the world during the Covid-19 crisis.

Our host Mudiwa Gavaza is joined by Dorian Carrell, multi-asset fund manager at global investment house, Schroders in London, to discuss the issues.

The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in global markets going into frenzy in the last few months. But even in times of crisis, there are those who find ways to allocate their capital intelligently to ultimately benefit from unusual market conditions.

The discussion also touches on opportunities in the bond and equity markets, interest in emerging markets, taking advantage of different interest rates, an outlook for the rest of the year, and a comparison between the Covid-19 crisis versus the global financial crisis in 2008.
