Uncertainties abound in the market; where and what should we invest in?

Investment nowadays is hailed as a common instrument to grow our wealth and has gained soaring popularity in the past decades. However, investment remains inherently risky, more so in today’s climate. After all, we are living in unprecedented times, uncertainties abound in the economy as well as in the financial markets, both locally and abroad.

Adopting the new norm, this pandemic has forced many out of jobs while those who are currently employed are required to work from home. With lack of job security due to uncertainties, many have turned to live streaming on investment as a form of main or supplemental income. However, most of these streamers are sharing their experience in investing and might not be licensed by the relevant governing bodies in investment.

So, how do we make our hard-earned money work harder than we are under these conditions?

Undoubtedly, there are many investment instruments available in the market, which may cause individuals to be unsure on which instrument would be able to cater to our specific investment goals and risk appetite. Should we still invest despite market uncertainty? The answer is YES! However, how can we confidently invest in any given market climate?
