They will be encouraging selective exposure to emerging market (EM) equities, including China, across technology firms and innovation leaders. “We have performed a lot of research on emerging markets in recent years, and our clients have had significant success investing there, even with the current volatility, macro, regulatory and Covid-19 resurgence,” said Matthew Bird, Institutional Director of Equities at Clermont Meridian Trading.

Transformational trends converging in Asia – some accelerated by the pandemic – could potentially unleash the region’s next wave of growth opportunities. “Opportunities are where people are.

Drivers of post-Covid-19 growth in Asia With over more than half of the world’s population living in Asia-Pacific1, ample opportunities can be found in the region. Urbanisation is swelling the region’s cities. Asia is projected to have the largest urban population on the planet by 2050 – with implications on essential services, housing and sustainability, among others, for years to come.2 Not only that, the region’s demographics are primed for the next generation of technological innovations incubating in Asia – it has the world’s largest population of “digital natives”.3 This young and tech-savvy population is coming of age amid increasing wealth and consumption power. By 2027, 1.2 billion Chinese...
