Why Invest in Emerging Asia?

Asian Tigers 2.0 – 4 Markets, 1 ETF.

A 4-in-1 opportunity to access the dynamic markets of Emerging Asia: India, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand

Asian Tigers 2.0 – History Repeats with Four Emerging Markets

Among the world’s top 40 economies by GDP, 16 are from Asia, including India (5th), Indonesia (17th), Thailand (28th), and Malaysia (38th).

Favourable labour costs and business-friendly environments have made these markets particularly attractive for foreign direct investments.

With the world’s largest population and a rapidly growing economy, India is poised to attract significant foreign direct investment (FDI) into its manufacturing sector amidst the global shift towards trade diversification.

Indonesia, ASEAN’s largest economy and most populous nation, contributes 40% of the region’s GDP and population. It accounts for 42% of ASEAN’s land area and is the world’s largest producer of nickel and palm oil.

Malaysia has attracted significant investments from US and Chinese tech giants in data centres, cloud technology, and AI. Between 1 January 2024 to 31 October 2024, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia 100 Index gained 22.1% within 10 months in USD terms, outperforming the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and MSCI Emerging Markets Asia Index.

Thailand, Southeast Asia’s second-largest economy, relies heavily on tourism as a core driver. The country is experiencing a strong rebound in tourism, with 35–37 million arrivals projected for 2024, nearing its 2019 peak of 40 million.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

This material is provided by Phillip Capital Management (S) Ltd (“PCM”) for general information only and does not constitute a recommendation, an offer to sell, or a solicitation of any offer to invest in any of the exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) or the unit trust (“Products”) mentioned herein. It does not have any regard to your specific investment objectives, financial situation and any of your particular needs. You should read the Prospectus and the accompanying Product Highlights Sheet (“PHS”) for key features, key risks and other important information of the Products and obtain advice from a financial adviser (“FA“) pursuant to a separate engagement before making a commitment to invest in the Products.

A copy of the Prospectus and PHS are available from PCM, any of its Participating Dealers (“PDs“) for the ETF, or any of its authorised distributors for the unit trust managed by PCM.  

An ETF is not like a typical unit trust as the units of the ETF (the “Units“) are to be listed and traded like any share on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGX-ST”). Listing on the SGX-ST does not guarantee a liquid market for the Units which may be traded at prices above or below its NAV or may be suspended or delisted. Investors may buy or sell the Units on SGX-ST when it is listed. Investors cannot create or redeem Units directly with PCM and have no rights to request PCM to redeem or purchase their Units. Creation and redemption of Units are through PDs if investors are clients of the PDs, who have no obligation to agree to create or redeem Units on behalf of any investor and may impose terms and conditions in connection with such creation or redemption orders. Please refer to the Prospectus of the ETF for more details.  

Investments are subject to investment risks including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. The purchase of a unit in a fund is not the same as placing your money on deposit with a bank or deposit-taking company. There is no guarantee as to the amount of capital invested or return received. The value of the units and the income accruing to the units may fall or rise. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of the future or likely performance of the Products. There can be no assurance that investment objectives will be achieved.  

Where applicable, fund(s) may invest in financial derivatives and/or participate in securities lending and repurchase transactions for the purpose of hedging and/or efficient portfolio management, subject to the relevant regulatory requirements. PCM reserves the discretion to determine if currency exposure should be hedged actively, passively or not at all, in the best interest of the Products.  

The regular dividend distributions, out of either income and/or capital, are not guaranteed and subject to PCM’s discretion. Past payout yields and payments do not represent future payout yields and payments. Such dividend distributions will reduce the available capital for reinvestment and may result in an immediate decrease in the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Products. Please refer to <www.phillipfunds.com> for more information in relation to the dividend distributions.
