Capitalising on long-term, structural investment trends
We have identified several structural investment trends, which can be used to anchor our investment strategies and help navigate challenging market conditions.
The investment trends are deglobalisation/supply chain substitution, tech/digitalisation and climate change.
A number of corporates in the Malaysia equity space can potentially benefit from these investment trends, including a number of newly listed ones. These companies are potential longer term structural winners for the Fund.
The above information may contain projections or other forward-looking statements regarding future events, targets, management discipline or other expectations. There is no assurance that such events will occur, and the future course may be significantly different from that shown here.
Capturing regional investment opportunities
The Fund can invest up to 25% in Asia-Pacific markets, providing geographical diversification while potentially enhancing the alpha return.
This allows the Fund to capture regional investment opportunities, especially in light of China's economic reopening.
