Regional stock markets were off to a great start in 2023 where most markets show outperformance in January. Since then markets have given up some gains largely due to the hot US January jobs report. Meanwhile, the FBM KLCI Index has lagged its regional counterparts and is down slightly YTD. What does 2023 hold for the Asia Equity Markets and should investors be looking abroad to other markets to diversify their portfolios? For answers we speak to Simon Lim, Head of Equities, Hong Leong Asset Management.
