  12. Market outlook

  13. US • Recent data generally positive - 2003 GDP forecast 2.2%(i.e. ISM 53.9, Personal Spending +0.9%, Unemployment 5.7%, Home Sales 1,082K) • 2003 growth more balanced (improvement in business investment) • Fiscal (tax package) as well as Monetary (low interest rates) policies remain supportive • Robust recovery unlikely • Middle East • Low earnings visibility • Outlook • Neutral in US • Earnings growth for 2003 (7%)

  14. Europe • German economy a concern (weak IFO 87.4/ Unemployment 10.3%) • Rest of Euroland better with France leading the way • ECB fiscal policy restriction (Germany & France - exceed the 3% limit) • Expect Euroland to lag US in global cycle • UK • Government spending remains strong and expect to continue • Unemployment remains stable compared to US/Europe • Insurance sector - relaxing solvency ratio by regulators • Outlook • Underweight in Europe, overweight in UK • GDP forecast for 2003 (Europe 1.2%, UK 2.5%)

  15. Japan • Economic data remain poor(Industrial Production -1.6%, Household Spending -2%, Unemployment 5.4%) • Deteriorating employment picture • Financial reform - do not expect immediate solution • Economy restrained (high uncertainty, weak global growth) • Outlook • Underweight in Japan • 2003 GDP forecast 0.8%

  16. Asia ex-Japan • Favour domestic oriented over export driven stocks • Liquidity remains supportive • Valuations remain cheap and attractive • External risk • Middle East • United States • North Korea • Outlook • Overweight in Asia (ex Japan) • Defensive bias over the near term

  17. Asia ex-Japan • Hong Kong • Outlook for the domestic economy remains subdued( i.e. unemployment, deflation and property sector) • Concern on government budget deficit • Exports expected to slow down • Market range bound - lack of upside catalyst • Korea • Economic growth driven by strong consumer spending and exports • Liquidity and low unemployment rates (2.8%) remain supportive • Concerns - North Korea’s nuclear issue, slowing consumption • Taiwan • Performance of the US market (NASDAQ) important • Politics - an area of focus (2004 presidential election) • Short-term focus - non-technology stocks • Remain underweight - looking to the US market for direction

  18. Bond market outlook • In the US, we expect the anticipated war with Iraq to be relatively short-lived, and the Fed will have to take back the 50 bps rate cut of last November within 12 months. • In Europe, we anticipate the ECB to sanction an additional easing of 50 bps within the next 3 months, with no further changes forecast over 12 months.
