[Personal Finance] Asset allocation during (and after) this Russia-Ukraine war

Hey guys - A newbie here. Just started earning salaries and want to start investing. With this war in Ukraine going on… how should one allocate his assets?

Currently thinking about investing in mutual funds. I work in SnT so can’t buy stocks or ETF…for compliance’s sake.

Everyone’s saying energy, wheat, and gold will hike - but will they be extremely volatile in the meantime, cuz the war situation is very fluid?

Also are you guys bullish or bearish on bond market? Rates are hiking so I thought bonds should suffer, but the war might drive some bonds up, so I’m not sure.

Putting the war aside, are there any other good sectors to invest in, say, in the long run? For instance maybe healthcare?
