Amorsolo Circle, InLife’s exclusive program for its valued policyholders, spearheaded the Front Seat Client Forum and Market Outlook entitled “The View Beyond: 2025 Market Outlook and Guiding Insights” at the Grand Hyatt Manila in Bonifacio Global City Taguig. Amorsolo Circle also conducted the same client forum in Nustar Hotel Cebu. 

 

Ron Lantin, InLife’s Fund Manager, explained that 2024 proved to be a challenging year for the local stock market. He added that 2025 will not be different due to uncertainties in the US market. “We are five years past the pandemic but recovery to pre-pandemic level is still the battle cry of the local market. While we recognize that there are still risk factors, we have to be cognizant of the opportunities,” Lantin said.

 

Anis Tiasiri, Executive Director, Southeast Asia Funds, JP Morgan Asset Management, said while developed market stocks outperformed in 2024, the well-diversified income-generating strategy which InLife policyholders invested in delivered good results in 2024, with a high single-digit total return and a relatively low maximum drawdown.

 

Shuangwei Liao, Associate Director of Intermediary Sales, Southeast Asia, Fidelity International, for her part, said while the technology sector presents investment opportunities, selectivity remains important. “Tech stocks have outperformed broader markets since the rally began in 2023. Overall, the tech sector is expected to see the strongest earnings growth,” she said.

Feng Shui Expert Patrick Lim Fernandez of The Yin and Yang Shop of Harmony, meanwhile, said the Year of the Wood Snake generally highlights networking or collaboration and adaptability. “Your luck is the sum of two things: your energy and effort. This is a good year to be patient. Think of how things will happen at the right time, and adapt to that,” he said.

 

InLife’s Amorsolo Circle program offers a range of exclusive benefits for the company’s valued policyholders, including market outlook forums, social events, priority servicing, exclusive product offers, and additional privileges.
