Turmoil will make investments stronger eventually, expert claims

Fri, 26 Sep 2008

The current financial turmoil should ultimately be good news for those with investment bonds, it has been claimed.

According to Fatima Luis, manager of F&C's Strategic Bond Fund, the current situation should mean governments focus more on regulating the financial system.

Ms Luis believes that although banks are likely to be less profitable in the short term, things should stabilise in future.

"The financial system going forward should be more secure, which is good news for bondholders," she said.

People should also make sure they are prepared to make the most of investment opportunities when the market starts to recover, Ms Luis added.

However, for the time being a climate of extreme risk aversion prevails with investments, she stated.

Yesterday, Ken Nicholson, manager of the European Smaller Companies Fund, claimed his investment portfolio has "outperformed" despite the current turmoil.
