Earlier on May 29, Invesco’s Brian Levitt appeared on CNBC’s ‘The Exchange’ to discuss how he thinks now is the time to diversify your portfolio into other parts of the world. Levitt stated that while the underlying policy uncertainty persists, the market’s trajectory has been positive. He believes that the market, which bottomed out some time ago, has been looking towards incrementally better policy. He suggested that the worst of the policy is behind us and that things should gradually improve now. He advised investors to be mindful of portfolio valuation and maintain optionality to prepare for adverse events. He cautioned against viewing the situation as a binary one and noted that such a simplistic approach will be challenging given the ongoing news.
Levitt dismissed the notion of an impending recession and cited the strong performance of high-yield bonds this year as inconsistent with a recessionary environment. He expressed comfort that the current economic cycle will continue and acknowledged that when leading indicators are rolling over, a more defensive stance is typically warranted, which would favor quality assets like mega-cap US growth companies. However, he warned that if a valuation adjustment similar to Liberation Da were to occur again, it could be substantial. Therefore, he advised diversification into other global regions and potentially US value stocks to reduce overall portfolio valuation.
