Thematic (Sector/Industry)

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.

Recent news stories reporting looming criminal antitrust charges against certain generic drug companies (and possibly executives) are wighing on the shares of generic drug manufacturers. This Insight discusses US antitrust laws and penalties; certain aspects of the investigative process; and known facts about some of the products involved in the inquiry. We think that investors should wait for negative newsflow (likely coming soon) before getting involved in the stocks.
