Geopolitical shifts are accelerating efforts to diversify energy supply, expand electrification and increase grid investment, it noted.<\/p>\n<p>The third priority is to \u2018build portfolio resilience with multi-asset strategies\u2019. HSBC said bonds, gold, alternatives and currency diversification remain \u2018core building blocks\u2019 in this regard.<\/p>\n<p>See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/portfolio-adviser.com\/vanguard-hires-blackrocks-marchioni-as-multi-asset-head\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Vanguard hires BlackRock\u2019s Marchioni as multi-asset head<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The fourth of the quartet is to \u2018tap into Asia\u2019s innovation and income opportunities\u2019. The firm said a barbell strategy can capture Asia\u2019s innovation-led investment cycle while balancing with income opportunities, and this can be paired with a geographical overweight in mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore and South Korea.<\/p>\n<p>Willem Sels, global chief investment officer (pictured), HSBC Private Bank and Premier Wealth, said: \u201cVolatility is here to stay as global markets react to fast-moving risks and headlines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe priority is to stay disciplined with resilient and diversified multi-asset portfolios that can withstand short-term uncertainty, while keeping sight of longer-term opportunities emerged from structural growth trends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Patrick Ho, chief investment officer, North Asia, HSBC Private Bank and Premier Wealth, added: \u201cAs investment in AI accelerates globally, Asia is well placed to benefit given its leadership in semiconductors and rapid progress in large language models.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeyond AI, investors can also find a broadening opportunity set through income potential in bonds, alongside continued improvements in corporate governance reforms across Japan, South Korea, mainland China and Singapore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/portfolio-adviser.com\/from-crisis-to-graduation-what-greeces-developed-market-status-means-for-investors\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">From crisis to graduation: What Greece\u2019s developed market status means for investors<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"HSBC Private Bank has outlined four areas it is prioritising in its investment strategy as we approach the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":50157,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[20667],"tags":[1418,5850,25121,9881,22880,7544,22280,25122,24997],"class_list":["post-50156","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-hsbc","tag-ai","tag-asset-allocation","tag-geopolitical-risk","tag-hsbc","tag-hsbc-private-bank","tag-investment-strategy","tag-macro","tag-multi-asset","tag-willem-sels"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@UnitedKingdom\/116647597312075169","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50156","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50156"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50156\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50156"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50156"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50156"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
