Even as global equity indices remain near record highs, the pricing of risk is shifting quietly beneath the surface.

In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Volatility Index (HVIX) has remained consistently higher, reflecting structurally greater market uncertainty. This divergence highlights a simple truth: risk may be universal, but its price is profoundly local.

Whilst we make no attempt to "predict" markets, history teaches that extended periods of low volatility often precede sharp drawdowns. Our allocation framework therefore begins with the probability weighted range of macro outcomes, not with a central forecast. On that evidence, current conditions warrant heightened attention to downside protection.
