Gargi Pal Chaudhuri, head of iShares Investment Strategy Americas at BlackRock, advises against staying in cash and recommends deploying cash selectively in fixed income and equities, with a focus on downside protection. ETFs are recommended for their efficiency in adjusting to market changes. Popular U.S. equity and intermediate-term bond ETFs are mentioned as investment vehicles.
