Investing in 2020: Equities continue to pay off

The 2019 trading year is drawing to a close, marking the end of an extremely successful year for equities. But that doesn't mean that the stock exchanges have exhausted their potential. Michael Strobaek, Global CIO at Credit Suisse, is convinced that equities will perform above average in 2020 as well and recommends portfolios be overweight equities.

However, it's not enough for investors to take advantage of the opportunities on the financial markets. They also need to keep the risks in mind. "The biggest risk lies in not seeing the risk," says Michael Strobaek. Therefore, investors should rely on a diverse and global portfolio. In the video, Michael Strobaek reveals which markets he thinks will have the best investment opportunities.
