September has been a record-breaking month for global markets, with the Dow, S&P, and NASDAQ hitting all-time highs. Asian equities have also soared, led by KOSPI and Hang Seng gains, as investors shift from fixed income to equities in search of higher returns.

Lee Kian Soon, CEO of Astral Asset Management unpacks what these developments mean for investors and what to watch in the final quarter of 2025, from China’s 15th Five-Year Plan to the next Fed decision.
