Pictet Asset Management Strategy Unit - Monthly investor outlook on a 3 month view

Precious yet squandered. This is the precarious status of the world’s water resources, as revealed in a series of new studies by the UN and OECD.

 

The reports, released to coincide with the World Water Forum in Marseille in March, predict that population growth and climate change could soon turn fresh water into one of the world’s scarcest commodities.

 

Providing access to detailed information about Pictet's mutual funds at the tap of a finger, the new app is available in seven languages : English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch and Mandarin.

From today, 21st March 2012, users can download the PAM app from the App Store free of charge.

The PAM app gives access to an easy-to-navigate platform from where users can find information quickly and research individual funds – from any location. Content can also be accessed offline.

Users can switch between fund data such as prices, performance and risk; they can also monitor portfolios exposures and consult interactive charts. Key fund information is available at a glance via single-page fund cards.

App content can also be customised. A search interface helps to find funds that match specific investment needs. Using My Funds, users can group together all the funds they wish to track.

In addition, the PAM app offers access to news and fund updates as well as short videos.

Laurent Ramsey, global head of distribution, commented, “The launch of this interactive app builds on our existing digital offering and keeps Pictet at the forefront of developments in communications technology for the benefit of our clients.”

The debt crisis in the euro zone continues to cast a favourable light on the credit profile of emerging market sovereign borrowers, whose public finances and growth prospects are the envy of many advanced economies. Even so, emerging market bonds continue to be seen as a risky, niche investment. At Pictet, we believe the time has come to abandon that view - the asset class is moving firmly into the mainstream.
