Nathan Thooft, Head of Global Asset Allocation, Manulife Investment Management met with Julie Cooling, Founder & CEO, RIA Channel to discuss his views on the global market and upcoming product launches.
The Fed’s indefinite pause on rate adjustments and a potential emerging market rebound, leaves Thooft optimistic on risk assets, particularly those in EM countries. “Not all emerging markets should be treated equally,” emphasizes Thooft on his preference towards Asian EM equities. Within the U.S. market, Thooft still favors large cap over small cap and continues to see big growth opportunities in the tech sector.
