E45 - Playing the Waiting Game on Vaccines
Manage episode 278070527 series 2769149
The past week has seen ground-breaking news in the fight against the pandemic, and the markets are cheering on. For Advisors considering whether to capture those vaccine-inspired gains, our experts, Mark Raes, Alfred Lee and Chris McHaney, have one piece of advice – stay the course on defensive growth. In this podcast, we hear the benefits of Quality ETFs and Government Bonds as reliable bets, while the roadblocks – rising cases of COVID-19, unemployment, lacklustre economic growth – all stand in the way of a sustained rally.
Mark Raes is the Head of Product at BMO Global Asset Management. He is joined on the podcast by Alfred Lee and Chris McHaney, two Portfolio Managers and ETF Specialists at BMO Global Asset Management. The episode was recorded live on November 18, 2020.
