According to Odaily Planet Daily, UBS Wealth Management released a report titled "Investment Lessons for the Second Half of the Year" this week, highlighting several key lessons that investors should learn in the next six months. The report emphasizes the importance of diversification of assets, regions and industries, especially in light of the political uncertainty highlighted by the US election debate.

UBS advocates that investors prepare for falling interest rates and a changing political landscape by building a balanced and diversified portfolio across fixed income, equities and alternative investments. UBS also sees gold as an attractive geopolitical hedge and portfolio diversification tool, and ranks it as its most favored precious metal.

UBS pointed out that the market performed strongly in the first half of 2024, and it is expected that the discount factor will decline as inflation normalizes and central banks begin a policy easing cycle.
