Seek out opportunities amidst global bond market sell-off: deVere
Amidst the global bond market sell-off a financial consultancy group has urged investors to seek out potential opportunities with a good adviser.
deVere Group has warned stock market investors to be vigilant and to review their portfolios amidst concerns surrounding government bonds prompting wider market volatility.
"Whenever there is a fall-out, or periods of heightened market turmoil, there will always be opportunities for investors and it's up to financial advisers to seek out the right ones for their clients," deVere's founder and chief executive, Nigel Green, said.
"We could indeed have reached a turning point for the bond market, but investors shouldn't react with haste as this point."
Green noted that it was still too early to confirm the start of the bear market in bonds that some analysts have been forecasting for the past couple of years.
