The negative portfolio returns caused by the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to affect low-risk assets for the foreseeable future, an international fund manager has said.

The bounce back in global share markets is not universal, with a few hotspots bringing up the average as some sectors continue to struggle.

Intelligent Investor has unveiled a new managed fund set to list on the ASX in October which will focus on capital growth above ASX200 index.

Investors should consider more than just the FAANG stocks when looking to make a portfolio allocation to the technology sector, a global fund manager has recommended.

Individuals should look beyond inflation when deciding to invest in gold as the two are not always linked, a wealth manager has said.

Investment markets are still plagued by a number of long-term uncertainties that will not be quickly resolved, an Australian investment manager has said.

Investors should take a long-term view rather than rely too heavily on the short-term earnings provided by some companies as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, an investment manager says.
