According to a study by Fullerton Fund Management, the COVID-19 pandemic has triggered Singaporeans to re-evaluate their attitudes towards retirement, and created an impetus for retirement planning.
The recent global pandemic has prompted policymakers to deliver unprecedented fiscal and monetary stimulus, edging already low interest rates even lower. In collaboration with the Economist Intelligence Unit, Fullerton has prepared a report which examines the impact of low rates on portfolio allocation, the changing economic backdrop, and the risks and opportunities for investors.
Fullerton’s Head of Multi-Asset Vincent Chan recently spoke to The Edge Singapore about the implications of the low-growth Covid environment on retirement planning, and how Singaporeans can prepare and invest to meet their retirement needs.
Fullerton today announced the appointment of James Zhang Jun as General Manager for its China entity, Fullerton Investment Management (Shanghai) Co., Ltd, effective 1 June 2020.
