Focus on value play

As we enter the second half of 2022, investors will face a more challenging macro environment as they weigh the odds of an impending recession and its impact on earnings and valuations.

Equity markets have made brief attempts at rallies, but the environment for risk assets is likely to be fragile over the next 12 months, as signs have emerged that higher rates and tighter financial conditions are beginning to form a drag on the economy.

The uncertainty in markets calls for investors to be more selective in their investment approach, ensure careful management of downside risks and proper diversification in their portfolios. Companies with resilient margins and pricing power in an inflationary environment will be favoured as a source of sustainable income whilst achieving the long-term growth. 

Why we like the fund

The fund has an unconstrained bottom-up approach that focuses on investing in high-quality dividend stocks. Its exposure to cyclical stocks allows the fund to benefit from a cyclical upswing, while its defensive exposure provides downside protection during a turbulent market environment. Compared to its peers, the fund adopts a consistent value tilt approach with exposure to high-quality names and a strong track record.
