Equities preferred over fixed income

In its 2022 global asset allocation view, RHB Investment Bank says the group maintains its “overweight” stance on equities, “market weight” on fixed income, and “underweight” on cash.

EQUITIES remain a favoured asset class among global fund managers for 2022 in anticipation of higher inflation, low real yields and relatively stronger growth.

Fixed-income investments, on the other hand, are viewed cautiously by most amid a challenging backdrop.
