BE READY TO POUNCE
Longer- term, we think investors should take advantage of any weakness in global equities or income-generating assets. We expect the equity bull market to continue for another 12 to 24 months.
MR STEVE BRICE, Standard Chartered Bank's chief investment strategist, group wealth management
BUYING OPPORTUNITYValuations are starting to look attractive again, especially for local blue chips that have borne the brunt of recent selling. Investors can take this opportunity to look out for quality stocks for longer-term investment.
MS CARMEN LEE, OCBC investment research head
CONFIDENCE IN CHINADespite the sell-off in the Chinese stock markets, China is unlikely to experience a hard landing or fuel another financial crisis in the near future as the government has the means to defend the economy and financial system if things worsen further.
MR VASU MENON, OCBC Bank's vice-president of wealth management, Singapore
