We like the fact that growth of revenue from key accounts (large businesses) is now larger than from SMEs. This indicates that Weibo is benefiting from the higher allocation of ad budgets at large companies towards social media.Also positive is the cost base rising by less than half the rate of top-line growth (+18% v +42%)…

5G considerations have moved to centre stage for operators, vendors, policy makers and regulators globally in recent months as technology roadmaps become clearer. Distinct regional roadmaps are emerging, with network densification a key differentiator between markets. We view dense networks as a key enabler for 5G to succeed. On that basis, China, Japan, and South Korea already operating widespread dense wireless networks today giving them a low-cost route for the further spread of small cells…

Alibaba continues to expand Double 11, its shopping event around Singles’ Day, a consumerist holiday meant for treating oneself. The 2016 version of the event was the retailer’s most extravagant and successful one yet. This year, Alibaba rebranded the shopping event from “Double 11” to “The 11/11 Global Shopping Festival”. Based on this rebranding and its surrounding marketing and promotional events as well as the integration of the most up-and-coming technology, it is clear that the retailer does not simply plan on expanding the shopping event but instead plans on leveraging the event to expand its business globally.

The first 10 months of 2016 brought its fair share of macroeconomic challenges to the region. During the 10 months, the Straits Times Index (STI) generated a 1% total return, which was not far behind that of the MSCI AC Asia Pacific Index. However, the 1% gain is hardly the full story for the 30 STI stocks in the year thus far.  All five Global Industry Classification Standards (GICS®) Sectors without STI representation also generated gains over the first 10 months. These Sectors are also at junctures of opportunity and challenge, with Sector-wide themes such as technology disruptors, population longevity &amp; growth and asymmetric trends in commodity prices. The five Sectors have also become increasingly important for investors who seek portfolio diversification in times of increased economic uncertainty.
