Markets: There’s value to be found … if you know where to look

There are many investment opportunities around – ranging from local and international bonds offering ‘nice’ yields to a long list of forgotten shares sitting on ‘attractive’ valuations. “Investors just need to look past the bad news. You need to separate [those] bad emotions from your investment approach,” says Peter Armitage, CEO and co-chief investment officer of Anchor Capital.

“We are realists. Investors need to realise these things are all known,” says Armitage, alluding to the fact that these knowns are reflected in the prices of particularly SA shares and that any improvement in the investment environment will give these shares a quick boost. “Domestic bonds also offer good returns. SA bonds offer yields of around 11% – a very nice yield compared to inflation. An income fund currently offers investors 9.4% without any risk,” he adds.
