LGT calls for disciplined investing amid market volatilityListen to this articleLGT Private Banking Asia Pacific expects global risk assets to gain traction this year, but cautions that investors should be prepared for a more volatile and uneven market, advising disciplined portfolio construction and active risk management. While the broader investment environment remains constructive, volatility and policy-driven market swings are likely to become a structural feature of 2026, he said. The policy environment remains broadly supportive in the US as the country heads towards the November 2026 midterm elections. In Europe, corporate earnings growth is expected to lag that of the US in 2026, limiting the region's potential to outperform. Despite near-term investment challenges, LGT remains confident in the long-term growth potential of Thailand's wealth management market, driven by family businesses, corporates and foundations.
