• Spotlight on ASEAN’s top corporates, industry leaders and CLSA research analysts
• Revealing ASEAN’s policy and private-initiative synergies to uncover opportunities
• Examining the region’s competitive positioning and opportunities for old and new economies
Hong Kong – 26 January 2022: CLSA will bring together 500 institutional investors and senior executives from more than 150 leading ASEAN companies at the 18th Annual CITIC CLSA ASEAN Forum from 8-10 March. The three-day event will feature an exceptional lineup of expert speakers to deliver macro and industry insights, in addition to exclusive access to Asia’s top corporate executives.
Looking ahead to post-pandemic recovery, ASEAN is poised to bounce back from a low base and will continue its dynamic expansion, leveraging growing populations with thriving trade integration. The three exciting themed days for this year’s ASEAN Forum – Investing in ASEAN, Digital Coming of Age and Old Economy Fights Back – aim to provide delegates with a better understanding of how the region is adapting to changes brought on by Covid-19. Throughout the event, in-depth discussions will offer views on the most important trends driving investment decisions and potential returns in the ASEAN region.
Edward Park, Chief Executive Officer of Institutional Equities at CLSA, said: “ASEAN is a close-knit community that benefits from neighbouring-market trade deals and diverging global opportunities. With US$3.2tn in combined annual economic output, the ASEAN market is well positioned to create numerous possibilities for global investors seeking differentiated investment ideas and emerging opportunities.”
Shaun Cochran, Head of Research at CLSA, added: “With the recent faltering of global market behemoths, it is now time to reconsider ASEAN. We see US global leadership coming to an end, and with our recommended modest China overweight and India underweight, global investors will need a source of growth for their portfolios to position for the nascent outperformance of emerging markets. ASEAN is one of the few pockets of genuine structural growth from young and optimistic populations, and our reliably insightful regional event will provide participants with a fantastic return on their time and ultimately their portfolios.”
Kai Kaufmann, Head of Corporate Access and Client Strategy at CLSA, said: “This year’s CITIC CLSA ASEAN Forum will provide unique insights for global investors looking to unlock investment opportunities in this fast-growing region. Over three action-packed days, the event will feature a number of highly differentiated webinars and hundreds of virtual corporate meetings, all accessible via our state-of-the-art conference website, which delivers a smooth, user-friendly virtual experience for all participants.”
