(Bandar Seri Begawan, 13th) Standard Chartered Securities recently held its annual “2025 Standard Chartered Securities Market Outlook” event at a banquet hall, attended by more than 150 clients and guests who gathered to share financial insights, discuss market perspectives, and expand their networks.
The event was kicked off by Brenda Low, CEO of Standard Chartered Securities, who delivered a welcome speech emphasizing the importance of staying informed amid ever-changing market dynamics.
In her speech, she stated: “The United States once again made headlines by passing a new bill, and everyone is closely watching market movements. While we may not be able to control global events, we can certainly stay up to date and prepare for market volatility. Despite ongoing external concerns, the bank is always committed to working side by side with clients through challenging times.”
She further added: “We believe that through regular updates and communication, we can help investors achieve diversified investment and find opportunities to continue safeguarding their portfolios. The bank’s philosophy remains the same—maintain discipline and adhere to long-term investment.”
Guests listened to two captivating presentations—Audrey Goh, Head of Asset Allocation and Thematic Strategy at Standard Chartered Bank’s Wealth Management Group, explored the macroeconomic outlook and key investment themes in depth over 30 minutes; followed by Stephen Tong, Senior Vice President and Senior Institutional Portfolio Manager at Franklin Income Investors Singapore, who shared his views on regional and global economic trends.
A highlight of the evening was a Q&A session hosted by Senior Investment Advisor Hazwan, where participants had the opportunity to pose questions and receive further insights from the speakers. The discussion reflected an increasing client interest in using smart strategies to tackle uncertainty.
The evening concluded with a dinner and networking session, giving clients the chance to interact directly with relationship managers and other attendees in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.
