Asia's High-Growth Region: China and India

Asia, home to two of the world’s largest emerging economies—China and India—remains a high-growth region. China, a major economic powerhouse, is strategically shifting toward domestic consumption and innovation to sustain long-term growth. Meanwhile, India has become the fastest-growing economy globally, making it impossible to overlook. With its large working-age population, India presents significant investment opportunities.

Key Highlights of the Fund:

1. Capitalising on Complementary Strengths: The China-India Fund recognises that each market is at a different stage of economic development and growth. By adopting a single portfolio-based investing approach, the Target Fund aims to exploit diverse sectorial opportunities in both countries. Whether it’s technology innovation in China or the burgeoning consumer market in India, the focus is on identifying compelling investment prospects.

2. Potential Gain from Dynamic Tilts between China and India: Unlike traditional single-country funds, the Target Fund takes advantage of the decreasing correlation between these two economic giants. This positive trend extends across market performance, macroeconomic factors, and foreign flows is positive, providing a good backdrop for bottom-up stock pickers through market cycles. The Target Fund’s unconstrained country allocation approach dynamically shifts between two countries, providing a robust diversification strategy for investors.

3. Capture the best of China and India High Conviction Portfolio: The Target Fund’s potential success hinges on a value-driven stock selection process. Behavioural sources of mispricing are meticulously analysed, and stocks are chosen based on valuations. The result? A concentrated portfolio of 50-80 carefully curated stocks that capture the best of both worlds.

By strategically leveraging their complementary strengths, we aim to deliver optimum results for our investors." said Yap Siok Hoon, CEO of Eastspring Investments Berhad.

The Fund is ideal for investors seeking capital appreciation over the long term. The minimum investment amount starts at RM1,000 for lump sum investments and RM100 for regular investment plan. Subsequently, additional investments can be made at RM100 for both lump sum investments and regular investments.
