Krungsri Asset Management launches KFHASIA-A, pushing Asia’s growth potential

30 March 2018

Krungsri Asset Management Co., Ltd. (“Krungsri Asset Management” or the “Company”) recommends investing in Krungsri Asian Equity Hedged FX Fund-A (KFHASIA-A) to push the potential for generating high returns triggered by Asia’s growth.  KFHASIA-A has been awarded a 5 star-rating* from the Morningstar.  
 
Ms. Siriporn Sinacharoen, Managing Director of Krungsri Asset Management, stated that “Krungsri Asset Management recognizes the strong potential and opportunities for attractive returns from investment in Asia, which is deemed to be the region of growth.  Last year, Asia’s GDP, excluding Japan, increased by 5.2% - the highest growth rate observed compared with other regions.  Asia’s GDP is highly likely to continue increasing due to the global economic recovery.  Forecasted net profits of many companies, especially those in industries relating to innovation and consumption, are also greater than those in the previous year. All of these factors thus make this prime time for investment.  Therefore, the Company offers units to KFHASIA-A, which invests in the Master Fund named “Vontobel Fund - mtx Sustainable Asian Leaders (Ex Japan)”, which was awarded a rating of 5 stars from Morningstar as of 31 December 2017 (the historical results do not guarantee the future results/ Rankings conducted by Morningstar Thailand are not related to the rankings conducted by the Association of Investment Management Companies (AIMC) whatsoever).
 
“The Master Fund focuses on investment in equities that are unique and different, particularly those of companies that are leaders in their respective industries. These are characteristically companies that offer better-quality products/services at below-average prices and have a high potential for generating returns. The Master Fund also invests in companies that place emphasis on corporate social responsibility in order to generate high returns from sustainable growth. The Master Fund diversifies its investment portfolio by investing in companies in various countries across a number of types of industries, with China accounting for the highest investment proportion. With respect to investments in the Industry group, the Master Fund focuses 50% of its investment portfolio in this group on IT and Finance target companies.  The Master Fund has continuously shown excellent performance results compared with the benchmark. In fact, the performance of the Master Fund for the retroactive period of three years and five years is an average of 17% per annum and 15% per annum, respectively, with the average returns (performance) since the incorporation of the Master Fund of 17% per annum. Such results were greater compared to the benchmark for the average performance for those periods of 11%, 8%, and 14%, respectively. (Source: Vontobel Asset Management as at 31 December 2017/ date of incorporate is 17 November 2008/  benchmark values obtained from MSCI Asia ex Japan TRN/ Performance of the Master Fund not in line with the standards prescribed by the Association of Investment Management Companies)/ the historical operational results do not guarantee the future operational results)”
“Krungsri Asset Management maintains a positive outlook on investments in the Asian stock markets due to the fact that Asia’s growth potential is driven by a number of factors: improvements in the economic environment due to the global economic recovery, which results in the expansion of trade in Asia; structural changes that promote sustainable growth in the long term; continuously increasing net profits of companies in industries relating to innovations and consumption; relatively small increments in the share prices in Asia compared with prices of shares in other regions; and share prices that are significantly lower than the price applicable to developed countries. The positive growth trends led to signs of increasing investments by investors globally as evidenced by the increase in investment capital injected into the Asian market, in particular last year. Asian stock market trends and directions of the US Dollar tend to are moving in the same direction. Also, the increase in interest rates of the US Federal Bank is not an issue of particular concern during this period of robust recovery. All of these facts have contributed to Asia’s stock market being a very attractive market.”
 
“Krungsri Asset Management firmly believes that KFHASIA-A is an attractive option for investors who wish to diversify their investment portfolio to markets that demonstrate a high growth potential in order to generate increased returns in the long term,” said Ms. Siriporn Sinacharoen.
