| Favourite investment theme for 2014 |
| Positive & Selective – we are optimistic about the market outlook in2014; however, the index (beta) returns should be limited and may be lower than the last two years. In addition, correlations among securities will fall further in a gradual upward market, we hence focus more than ever on bottom-up stock-picking experts to deliver outstanding alpha return (excessive over benchmark index) to our investors. Typically, this type of alpha managers would be small- and midcap focused or have an all-cap mandate to allow them to pick whatever stock or bond without constraint of market cap. |
