Remaining patient and turning volatility into opportunity – Dan Dupont
In today’s episode, Portfolio Manager Dan Dupont provides an overview of how navigating the current market landscape and offers insight into various global trends and sectors. Dan discusses investment opportunities in China, where large-cap stocks are severely undervalued. With minimal downside risk, these investments rebounded faster than expected, and Dan’s patience has paid off as he’s been able to capture quick gains once the market corrected. Dan also discusses challenges in the U.S. market. He touches on the difficulties of finding attractive investments in a space characterized by high valuations and inflated margins. This has driven him to focus on global opportunities and more defensive sectors, where strong balance sheets offer stability in uncertain times.

Certain statements in this commentary may contain forward-looking statements ("FLS") that are predictive in nature and may include words such as "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "plans", "believes", "estimates" and similar forward-looking expressions or negative versions thereof. FLS are based on current expectations and projections about future general economic, political and relevant market factors, such as interest and foreign exchange rates, equity and capital markets, and the general business environment, in each case assuming no changes to applicable tax or other laws or government regulation. Expectations and projections about future events are inherently subject to, among other things, risks and uncertainties, some of which may be unforeseeable and, accordingly, may prove to be incorrect at a future date. FLS are not guarantees of future performance, and actual events could differ materially from those expressed or implied in any FLS. A number of important factors can contribute to these digressions, including, but not limited to, general economic, political and market factors in North America and internationally, interest and foreign exchange rates, global equity and capital markets, business competition and catastrophic events. You should avoid placing any undue reliance on FLS. Further, there is no specific intention of updating any FLS whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
