Investors bracing for the next global market slump can afford to stick it out in riskier assets for at least another year -- but it also doesn’t hurt to keep an eye on the exits, according to JPMorgan Asset Management. While the prospects of a U.S. recession coming in the next 12 to 18 months are low and it still makes sense to maintain a “pro-risk allocation” in portfolios for now, investors should be prepared to shift quickly into defensive dividend stocks and long-duration, developed-market government debt when the markets turn, said Tai Hui, chief market strategist for Asia with JPMorgan Asset in Hong Kong. “This could run a lot longer, because we still have a lot of growth momentum in the global economy,” Hui said in an interview Tuesday.

Company demand can also trigger stock-price gains.
