English term or phrase: unchartered waters

So the waters are going to be very dangerous still for a quarter or maybe more. That’s why we continue to hold a rather cautious view on markets and we remain [unintelligible] to risky assets and exposed to liquidity and the safe haven hype of assets like treasuries
