Korea Japan Singapore India 10 5 US China Malaysia Korea Hong Kong Thailand India Indonesia Asia Taiwan Singapore US Philippines Source: CLSA Asia Pacific Markets Source: Asian Development Bank/CLSA China mainland stock market still relatively small compared to bank deposits. Deposits are seven times greater than the value of the A share free float. Best practice pension funding has also been adopted by many emerging markets e.g., Poland, Chile. This in turn provides strong and steady domestic demand for emerging equities. As with the core index the small cap index can be split by country and region. This gives domestic investors a new benchmark to be measured against, further encouraging an allocation to the small cap asset class. 22
