2 July 212 Introduction has a high weighting for utilities and other defensive sectors. This is also reflected in low market volatility and low correlations with global indicators. Domestic matters therefore carry a larger weight when making investments in. Market structure Although the two biggest sectors financials and industrials constitute around 45% of MSCI, the market has a higher proportion of stocks (35%) in defensive sectors (consumer staples, utilities and telecoms) than other Asian markets. Neel Sinha* Head of Research, Southeast Asia The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, Singapore Branch neelsinha@hsbc.com.sg *Employed by a non-us affiliate of HSBC Securities (USA) Inc, and is not registered/ qualified pursuant to FINRA regulations As a consequence, s market volatility is low compared with the rest of Asia. If we look at earnings and total market volatility, scores low (i.e. it is relatively stable) on both counts. In terms of PE multiple volatility, is the most stable market in Asia.

The top-five and top-1 stocks are not dominated by any particular sector, making up 35% and 56% of the index, respectively. On this measure it is more diversified than Singapore and Hong Kong and substantially less than other ASEAN markets. It also means that stock selection plays an important role. Also, has a growing domestic fund management industry, which is a large holder of stocks in the market. 2

4 July 212 Earnings and valuation s earnings are less volatile than the rest of the region. Currently, earnings have moved back to trend growth after a decline in 29. Compared with other ASEAN countries, earnings volatility is also low.

Although s economy is highly sensitive to global growth (its gross exports to GDP ratio is one of the highest in Asia), this is not reflected in the stock market, where the largest players are in utilities, telecoms, palm oil and gaming. The earnings momentum chart shows the level of earnings upgrades and downgrades in a 12-month forward period. This indicator shows that analysts optimism for earnings over the next 12 months has started to rise. While they are still revising up their forecasts, it is happening at a slower pace than in late 21.

5 July 212 This muted optimism is also evident when looking at stock upgrades and downgrades. The number of upgrades has started to decline, suggesting that analysts are becoming more cautious about n stocks. This is also evident in the recommendation consensus score, which ranks and rates analysts stock recommendations. After reaching a high level of bullishness, this ratio has started to turn towards the historical average.

The expected EPS growth is 12.4% for this year compared with 15.7% for the region. has traded at a 1% premium to Asia ex Japan region historically but currently the premium is much higher at 4%. : PE band chart Relative valuation Price level Dec-2 Dec-3 Dec-4 Dec-5 Dec-6 Dec-7 Dec-8 Dec-9 Dec-1 Dec-11 16x 14x 12x 1x PE:MY/Ax J has always traded on a higher forward PE multiple than the rest of the region. Part of this premium can be explained by its low correlation with global equities, having the highest weighting in defensive sectors, low earnings volatility, and a large domestic institutional investor base. Telecoms is the most expensive sector, followed by energy. The cheapest sectors are financials and materials. 5
6 July 212 n ROEs have hovered between a low of 11% in 21 and a high of 15% in 28. Current forecasts point to a ROE of close to 14%, showing a strong recovery since 28. PB ratios have hovered in a range of 1.4x and 2.4x, but these include some extremes. The average is about 1.8x, with current valuations above that level. : Earnings and bond yields : PB vs ROE/COE (12-month forward) 12 1 BY EY PBR ROE/COE Source: MSCI, Thomson Reuters Datastream, Bloomberg, HSBC Source: MSCI, Thomson Reuters Datastream, Bloomberg, HSBC 12-month forward PE vs 1-year average and standard deviations from average Current PE Rolling 1-yr avg Rolling 1-yr SD # SD from avg Energy Materials Industrials Consumer Discretionary Consumer Staples Financials Telecom Utilities MSCI Fund flows In the last decade, mutual funds have taken money out of (about USD1bn). Large inflows, in particular in 23-7, peaked at a cumulative USD4bn by early 27. Since then, foreign investors have been selling n equities. Although they have been net buyers since 29, the level of buying has never been sufficient to build back the investment exposure these investors had before the financial turmoil in 28. This is also reflected in fund weightings, with most investors being underweight, both for AEJ and GEM funds. 6

Today is an industrialised nation whose main trading partners are the US, Japan and Singapore, and a major exporter of semiconductors, electronic goods and palm oil. The country also has significant reserves of oil and gas. The oil and gas sector supplies more than 4% of government revenue. Leif Eskesen Chief Economist for India & ASEAN The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, Singapore Branch leifeskesen@hsbc.com.sg As an export-dependent nation, was severely affected by the global recession that followed the financial crisis of 28. In 21 the government laid out an Economic Transformation Plan (ETP), an ambitious initiative to double income per person to USD15, to reach developed-nation status by 22. The aim is to focus on high value investments and reduce dependence on lower-end manufacturing. While the economy has slowed in recent quarters, domestic growth momentum is providing a healthy cushion. This is partly due to favorable labour market conditions, subsidies and wage hikes, which have supported consumption. Investment has also picked up, supported by both private and public-sector spending related to the ETP. Economic policy primer In September 1998 Bank Negara (BNM) pegged the USD/MYR exchange rate in response to the Asian Financial Crisis. It moved the currency to a managed float in July 25 and since then has progressively liberalised the FX market, including allowing the use of MYR for trade settlement and inter-company foreign currency borrowings. In recent years the central bank has taken a more hands-off approach to the n ringgit than its regional peers. This has helped to lend greater stability to the currency amidst the volatility of global capital flows after the global recession. On the fiscal side spending remains generous ahead of the general election, which has to be held before March 213. The administration has introduced a minimum wage policy, income-support programmes and civil service pay rises. However, more broad-based productivity improvements and efforts to enhance the investment climate will be needed to meet the ETP target of achieving developed-nation status by 22. 7
