While there were many concerns heading into 2020, the emergence of COVID-19 is perhaps proving to be the most significant Black Swan event facing investors since the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008. As the virus continues to spread globally, fear and uncertainty has gripped global markets, resulting in dramatic and often unprecedented volatility. Here, investment teams from across Franklin Templeton continue to provide their perspective on the crisis, how much of the volatility is merited versus how much may be panic induced, and insights on navigating the storm going forward.

This material is intended to be of general interest only and should not be construed as individual investment advice or a recommendation or solicitation to buy, sell or hold any security or to adopt any investment strategy. All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee that a strategy will meet its objective. Performance may also be affected by currency fluctuations. Reduced liquidity may have a negative impact on the price of the assets. Currency fluctuations may affect the value of overseas investments. Where a strategy invests in emerging markets, the risks can be greater than in developed markets. Where a strategy invests in derivative instruments, this entails specific risks that may increase the risk profile of the strategy. Where a strategy invests in a specific sector or geographical area, the returns may be more volatile than a more diversified strategy.
