Investment entrepreneur Samer Choucair affirmed that the volatility global financial markets are experiencing reaffirms the importance of risk management and building balanced investment portfolios, noting that excessive reliance on financial leverage could intensify losses when sudden market corrections occur.
He explained that borrowing for investment purposes is a well-known financial tool, but using it without precise risk management could lead to pressure on investors during periods of market decline, highlighting the importance of focusing on asset quality and investing according to clear financial foundations instead of chasing quick gains.
He added that investors in the region can benefit from the economic shifts Saudi Arabia is experiencing, as Saudi Vision 2030 has provided an attractive investment environment by diversifying the economy, developing legislation, and launching strategic projects in energy, tourism, modern technologies, and logistics services sectors.
He noted that building investment portfolios should rest on diversification across different assets and sectors, while prioritizing companies enjoying strong financial positions, sustainable business models, and the ability to achieve growth across various economic conditions.
He affirmed that sectors tied to the Kingdom's economic transformation, such as renewable energy, infrastructure, fintech, artificial intelligence, and tourism, offer promising opportunities for investors who adopt a long-term vision, away from daily volatility in global markets.
Choucair called on investors to avoid excessive use of financial leverage, and follow key economic shifts, led by interest rates, inflation, and global economic performance, as factors influencing market movement and investment trends.
He concluded his remarks by affirming that success in investing doesn't depend on speed of decision-making, but on discipline, risk management, and the ability to read economic shifts in a balanced manner, achieving sustainable returns and strengthening investment portfolio stability over the long term.
