Raj Shant, Portfolio Specialist, discusses how an indiscriminate sell-off from the first real pandemic to occur in a hyper-connected financial system, may spell opportunity for long-term investors. Utilizing data insights from China’s outbreak could provide investors a purview of what the world could expect in a few months, but questions whether or not it will be powerful enough to bring risk appetite back to the markets.
