Emerging Markets (EM) are fast becoming key global players in the global economic growth. Emerging economies currently account for more than 50% of the global economy (based on the Gross Domestic Product Purchasing Power Parity) and are expected to grow at a much faster pace than their developed peers in 2011 – 20121. EM sovereign ratings have also shown steady improvement in credit quality2. Further with the improving EM sovereign ratings, investment flows into the EM countries are expected to rise. These factors indicate that the EM is fast becoming main stream and further enhance the promising growth of the EM. Hence, with such potential opportunities arising from the EM, we offer you the OSK-UOB Emerging Markets Bond Fund – a fund giving you access to the debt sector of the EM economies.

In view of the current volatile markets culminating from the Eurozone debt crisis, we are conscious of investors’ wariness of the contagion effect on the domestic and global economies. Amid the recent volatility, we believe there are opportunities arising from bond investments that offer consistent and regular income back to investors. Hence, we now offer you a bond fund that aims to maximise returns at its maturity date from a concentrated portfolio of global debt instruments.

With the world population slated to increase, particularly from the emerging markets like India and China, coupled with the increase in per capita income in the developing nations and an improvement in lifestyle, the demand for food, and in turn agricultural commodities, will see an upward rise. Moreover, with rising income, meat consumption is also expected to increase and therefore more grains, wheat and other soft commodities are needed to feed the poultry demand, thus also creating demand for agricultural commodities. 

 

However, despite the expected increase in demand, supply factors remain constrained due to land and water scarcity caused by urbanisation. Climate has also proven to be very unpredictable in the recent past, with increasing frequency of extreme weather events. This makes the planning and production of crops harder, especially when the supply of agricultural commodities is concentrated in a few countries.

 

This mismatch in demand and supply factors is expected to move prices of agricultural commodities upwards. We have therefore established this Fund so as to capitalise on this potential price increase in the agricultural commodities sector.

Taiwan has recovered strongly from the global economic downturn with a growth of 10.8%1 in 2010. According to Global Economic Prospects, January 2011 by World Bank, Taiwan’s gross domestic product is tipped to grow 5% in 2011.

 

Taiwan is a beneficiary of Asia’s growth, in particular that of China’s. Following the liberalisation policies of Taiwan’s new administration towards China, Taiwan’s economy has become increasingly linked with China’s.

 

As we foresee significant growth prospects for Taiwan in the next few years, we have therefore established a Fund that is structured to benefit from these potential opportunities through a swap agreement which will provide exposure to Taiwan’s capital markets as represented by the Taiwan Taiex Index (“TWSE”). This Fund will provide investors with an opportunity to participate in the potential benefits from this outlook on the Taiwan economy in the next three years.

While inflation fear in China is a dominant factor, signs that China’s growth is holding up well despite this concern will certainly fuel further growth. Traditionally in China, a higher inflation tends to exhibit a positive correlation with Chinese companies price-earnings ratios and nominal earnings growth. Having said that, the consensus view is that the Chinese government will raise borrowing costs to contain inflation and prevent the economy from overheating.

 

With such growth euphoria and inflationary concern, we have accordingly structured a Fund that will offer investors capital protection*, in case of any eventuality along the way, whilst at the same time offering potential income returns and inflationary protection. These can be achieved from the Fund’s investments in Zero Coupon Negotiable Instrument of Deposits and from an option that is structured with dual opportunities i.e. from the current inflationary economy in China and an investment in gold#.

 

#Note: The Fund does not hold physical gold.

With the ongoing global economic recovery and the various opportunities created from the vast stimulus packages put forth by governments around the world, we are currently witnessing differing levels of economic expansion across all economies. And different asset classes such as equities, bonds, commodities, currencies and cash perform differently under different stages of economic expansion. Hence, we now offer you a fund that will capitalise on the potential opportunities arising from the different market conditions resulting from this economic expansion phase by dynamically investing in multi-asset classes that are expected to do well in specific market conditions.

Following the pump priming efforts by governments around the world during the financial crisis, the global economies have begun to stabilise and signs of recovery are growing strong. The stimulus packages introduced have benefited broad market sectors to a different extent in each sector at each stage of recovery. As we can still expect a “bumpy” recovery progress, we now bring you a Fund that offers capital protection* and potential returns via an option structure.

 

Under the option structure, the option strategy is exposed to four market sectors (Energy, Material, Financial and Consumer Discretionary) and Singapore Dollar cash to provide diversification that aims to reduce risk and improve potential returns by gaining selective exposure across all facets of the economy. We believe that the strategy of this Fund’s option which only invests into a sector when it observes a positive trend and divests when a negative trend emerges, will achieve the objective of reducing risk and improve on the potential returns from the option.

In the last ten years, China and India equities have significantly outperformed global equity markets as a whole¹ and we believe that the two markets will continue to outperform, driven by the triple growth engines of investment, consumption and exports. These growth engines make China and India extremely dynamic economies and offer potentially one of the most exciting investment opportunities for investors today.

The growth of Asian economies has for many years been underpinned by their export sectors. We, however, believe that a long-term structural shift is underway and consumer demand is set to play a larger part in driving Asian economies. The powerful force behind this important change in the world’s most populous continent is the steady rise of Asia’s middle class. The surge in the population of young Asians, expected growth of Asian household income, increase in urbanization that typically results in changing lifestyles and consumption patterns are just some of the factors that are changing and increasing consumer demand in Asia.

 

So, capitalize on the rising consumer demand in Asia with OSK-UOB Asia Consumer Fund.

OSK 2011 INVESTMENT STRATEGY: 3E’s DRIVE THE MARKET


Executive Summary
 

Still Reasonable Growth in 2011. After a good year where the Malaysian economy is expected to grow by 7.3%, we continue to see reasonable growth into 2011 at 5.8%. We see the Government being focused on private sector growth and supportive of efforts to promote domestic consumer spending and spurring private investment. These twin factors should begin to take over the role of driving the Malaysian economy as Government spending tapers off inline with fiscal consolidation.

 

Continue to see the market rallying on 3 Factors. After rising more than 20% at its highest in 2010, we still see the Malaysian market rallying to new highs in 2011 with our KLCI fair value at 1648 points. We believe this rally will be driven by 3 key factors:

 

·       Still respectable Earnings at 16% growth for 2011 with most sectors expected to record at least 10% growth. Banks and Domestic consumption driven sectors such as Aviation, Healthcare and Property should see decent quality earnings with little downside surprises. We expect earnings surprises and upgrades to support the market in 2011.

 

·       A wave of Election related news which will excite the Construction, Property and Oil & Gas sectors. Ahead of General Elections which we expect in 2011, we see a slew of infrastructure related news such as the start of the KL MRT, the extensions for the LRT and the various property development projects around KL.

 

·       A flood of liquidity from Quantitative Easing. While the continued printing of money does justify longer term fears for the global economy, in the medium term, we see a flush of liquidity coming to Asia with its still higher growth rates. Bigger cap blue chips should be the beneficiaries including the Banking and Gaming sectors.

 

We like 6 sectors. Taking cognizance of the 3 factors above, we see 6 sectors outperforming the KLCI especially in the 1H of 2011. We see quality earnings driving the Banking, Consumer (including Aviation & Healthcare) and Property sectors ahead as domestic consumption and strong retail sentiment should sustain for the next 6 months. The election theme is a natural driver for the Construction and Property sectors especially with the slew of news related to the Greater KL National Key Economic Area and the various Property sector mergers to undertake key developments such as the Sungai Buloh land and Warisan Merdeka. This time around we also see the O&G sector as being a beneficiary as we believe the Government will fast track spending on the domestic O&G sector given the increased economic multiplier of the sector to the broader economy. While quantitative easing will see money coming Malaysia’s way thus benefiting most blue chips, we remain Neutral on the Plantation and Telco sectors given the lack of broader growth catalysts and therefore recommend the 2 largest sectors where we are Overweight on namely Banks and Gaming specifically Genting Bhd.
