Star Ratings - ASEAN

ASEAN equities are becoming increasingly differentiated, with stronger macro fundamentals and structural tailwinds supporting Singapore and Malaysia, while Thailand and Indonesia face mounting policy and structural challenges. As a result, we downgrade the ASEAN index to Unattractive and continue to favour a concentrated allocation to Singapore and Malaysia.

Star Ratings - ASEAN

ASEAN

3.0 Stars - Attractive


Macro Outlook

  • ASEAN is expected to see resilient growth compared to other markets.

  • We also expect milder policy headwinds for ASEAN as inflation is relatively more controlled in the region.

What we like about

  • Ongoing reopening and supportive commodities outlook should help the region's growth prospects.
  • Policy headwinds from ASEAN central banks will likely be milder compared to those in other markets.
  • ASEAN can be a resilient expression for Asian equities in your portfolio.
Investment Risk(s)
  • ASEAN is trade-dependent and will be negatively affected by a global growth slowdown.
