HL research - our view on this fund
While Asia is not immune to a slowdown in the West, it is more able to withstand a global economic downturn than it was 10 years ago. Allan Liu believes Asia's healthy financial system, robust domestic demand, low levels of debt, high savings rates and the emergence of China as a new anchor for the region, will continue to support growth. He feels the Chinese construction sector will benefit from the government-sponsored housing programmes, and he has invested in Taiwan Cement which is a major exporter to China. Similarly, he expects stocks like Jiangxi Copper and Straits Asia Resources to benefit from China's urbanisation and improving industrial production.
