Merrin Somerset Webb: 在当前中东局势紧张的背景下,我认为投资者不应过度恐慌,而应像在任何其他环境下一样,坚持多元化的资产配置策略。这意味着不应将所有资金集中投资于单一资产或市场,而应分散投资于不同的资产类别和地区,以降低整体投资组合的风险。特别是对于那些过度投资于美国市场,而对其他市场或避险资产配置不足的投资者来说,现在是时候重新审视并调整投资组合,以实现更均衡的风险收益。 此外,我建议投资者可以考虑增加对现金、黄金等传统避险资产的配置,以及对能源和石油等与中东局势相关的资产的配置,以对冲潜在的地缘政治风险。同时,我也提醒投资者,持有全球ETF并不意味着已经实现了多元化,因为全球ETF中美国股票通常占很大的比例,因此需要进一步分散投资于其他国家和地区。 John Stepek: 我完全同意Merrin的观点,多元化资产配置是应对当前中东紧张局势的最佳策略。我认为“避风港”这个概念具有误导性,因为它暗示着存在一种可以完全规避风险的资产,而实际上,任何资产都存在风险。因此,投资者不应盲目追求所谓的“避风港”,而应根据自身的风险承受能力和投资目标,构建一个多元化的投资组合。这意味着将资金分散投资于不同的资产类别,如股票、债券、现金、黄金等,以及不同的地区和行业,以降低整体投资组合的波动性。 此外,我也强调,现金并非绝对的避风港,因为考虑到通货膨胀的因素,现金的实际购买力可能会下降。因此,投资者应将现金配置控制在适当的比例,并将其与其他资产相结合,以实现更好的风险调整收益。对于年轻投资者来说,更应着眼于长期投资,适当配置股票等高风险高回报的资产,以实现资产的长期增值。

Deep Dive

Chapters
This chapter explores the concept of a 'safe haven' in investing, challenging the notion that any asset class provides complete security in uncertain times. It emphasizes the importance of diversification and asset allocation as a more robust strategy than seeking out perceived safe havens.
  • No asset class offers complete safety in a risky world.
  • Safe havens depend on individual circumstances and risk tolerance.
  • Diversification across asset classes is crucial for long-term investment success.
