Capitalising on long-term, structural investment trends
We have identified several structural investment trends, which can be used to anchor our investment strategies and help navigate challenging market conditions.
The investment trends are deglobalisation/supply chain substitution, tech/digitalisation and climate change.
Many small-to-mid cap companies in Malaysia can potentially benefit from these investment trends, including a number of newly listed ones. These companies are potential longer term structural winners for Manulife Investment Shariah Progress Plus* Fund (“the Fund”).
