As part of its ongoing efforts to educate investors on the latest happenings in the global financial markets, Baiduri Capital held a series of webinars throughout the month of August that looked at various investment opportunities in the Singapore, China, and US markets.

The first webinar held on 12 August was titled ‘Vax and Relax: The Positive Impacts on Singapore Equities’ and was conducted by Paul Chew, Head of Phillip Securities Research Pte Ltd, who has over 20 years of experience as a fund manager and analyst.

The speaker looked at how the positive effects of Singapore’s high vaccination rate have affected the country’s market as its economy steadily reopens and moves into an endemic phase. He then shared his views on why this positive shift has presented various investment opportunities, especially in the hospitality and transportation industries. It could also potentially have attractive yields and growth potential for Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), which are a popular investment vehicle favored by Bruneian investors for passive income.

On 18 August, Baiduri Capital hosted a second webinar with Sun Wan Xin from Phillip Securities and a specialist in the Hong Kong and China equity markets. The webinar titled “Emerging Trends in China” focused on how the Hong Kong market has become an important gateway for foreign investors to explore different investment opportunities. The speaker also discussed the major players in China’s Internet sector and what impact investors can expect with the recent government changes.

Baiduri Capital wrapped up the month with another webinar titled “Prepare your Portfolio for Rising Interest Rate Environment” held yesterday, conducted by Mike Ong, Chief Editor of the HQ Education Series at Phillip Securities.

The speaker looked at what investors can expect in the final quarter of the year and gave insights on how investors should prepare their portfolios for the potential rising interest rates and sudden inflation, as the world markets slowly recover and reopen.

Speaking on August’s webinar series, Mr Peng Eng Soon, General Manager of Baiduri Capital said that the webinars were aimed at providing investors with timely and relevant market insights and updates, using alternative channels of delivery during this challenging time.

He further elaborated: “With this series of webinars, our aim was to continue to update our clients on the various market developments around the world.

“We hope to empower their financial decisions by equipping them with market knowledge and insights that they can access from the safety and comfort of their homes.”

In accordance with the recent controlled measures issued by the Ministry of Health (MOH), Baiduri Capital also introduced phone consultation and email application for their products and services. Queries and applications can be directed to their email at [email protected]
