OMI warns UAE bulls on ‘bumpy ride’
By International Adviser, 2 Nov 17
Old Mutual International is warning of the risks in the attitude shift after researchers discovered UAE investors are more focused on achieving investment gains than on protecting against losses.
Using a DFM
The research shows a staggering 98% of investors in the region recognise the benefits of using a Discretionary Fund Manager (DFM) to manage investments. Just 2% did not see any benefits to using a DFM.
Among the top reasons cited by investors was the reassurance DFMs can provide in ensuring investment portfolios match the level of risk they are comfortable with. They also value the ability of a DFM to create tailored portfolios which meet their investment requirements and believe the tight controls DFMs have in place can help protect against investment losses.
