Investors have a tough time

The world of Vuca (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity) has witnessed a challenging investment environment.

Uncertainty is almost a norm and investors are warned of the risks their investment face, including the Turkey lira crisis, Brexit and the trade war between the United States and China.

These global events increase uncertainty and challenge the returns investors expect to earn.

In April, the International Monetary Fund cut the outlook of global growth from 3.5 per cent in January to 3.3 per cent, the lowest since the global recession in 2009.
