Investors are now actively seeking \u2018new world\u2019 sectors and companies as the world readjusts to life with coronavirus and looks ahead to an economic recovery.<\/p>\n

The assessment from Nigel Green, the chief executive and founder of deVere Group, one of the world\u2019s largest independent financial advisory organizations with operations in 100 countries, comes as global stock markets rallied on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Mr Green notes: \u201cEvery economic downturn creates a new normal. The one being triggered by the coronavirus pandemic will be the same.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Covid-19 impact has hit firms across the world \u2013 there\u2019s been immense international disruption – with many sectors experiencing major issues of supply, demand, or both.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever there remain some sections of the economy which are benefitting from the coronavirus fallout.\u201d<\/p>

He continues: \u201cSensibly, investors are now actively seeking these \u2018new world\u2019 sectors and companies in order to grow and protect their wealth.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is evidenced by the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite index which has done well, where other global indices have faltered.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew industries will come into their own and, as ever, there will be winners and losers.\u00a0 This will mean job losses in some sectors and huge – possibly unprecedented – job and investment opportunities in others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week, in a media release, Nigel Green noted that a Covid-19 recession is likely \u201cto fundamentally shift how we live, do business and invest.\u201d\u00a0 He added that it could also be expected to \u201cspeed up the Fourth Revolution, which is fuelled by new technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence and mobile supercomputing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Green goes on to say: \u201cBig tech is just one likely winner.\u00a0 The likes of Apple, Facebook, Amazon, and Google\u2019s parent company Alphabet have immense cash reserves to continue, maybe even bolster, research and development and to sustain their business operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis sector is also likely to face higher demand as social distancing, isolation and quarantine affect much of its existing and potential consumer base.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlus, recently heightened regulatory restrictions and political opposition to their expansion and growth of influence is likely to be scaled back considerably.\u201d<\/p>\n

He adds: \u201cFor similar and other reasons, other sectors besides the Silicon Valley giants, are likely to continue to offer positives for investors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese include pharmaceutical and healthcare firms, delivery brands, supermarkets and manufacturers of electronic goods, such as fridges and freezers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nigel Green concludes: \u201cOf course, there will be a recovery from the global economic impact of coronavirus.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the world has already changed as a result of it – and will do so more – and savvy investors are aware of this new normal and are already readjusting their portfolios accordingly.<\/p>\n

\u201cTimes of immense tumult can be times of great ingenuity, promise and opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n
