  12. Investment Outlook & Strategy

  13. Global Economic Outlook • The global economic recovery will be moderate and non-inflationary in the foreseeable future. • The US economy and corporate earnings have bottomed but recent stock market weakness may affect the prevailing recovery. • Economic indictors in Europe continue to slow down. It is increasingly apparent that economic and corporate woes are the reasons behind the current market malaise. • In Hong Kong, deflation and rising unemployment rates are expected to dampen sentiment in the near term. • Pick-up in domestic consumption reduces Asia’s reliance on exports.

  14. Global Equity Strategy Weightings Relative to Benchmark Hong Kong : Neutral US : Mildly Underweight Europe : Neutral Japan : Underweight Asia Pacific ex Japan : Overweight • Factors such as corporate malfeasances, weak US economic growth and corporate earnings growth will limit upside for global equities in the near term. Data as of 31 August 2002

  15. Hong Kong • Rising unemployment rates. • Domestic consumption remains weak as consumer sentiment stays low. • Asset deflation limits increase in property prices. • Companies enjoy healthy cashflow after deleveraging and should be able to survive in the downturn. • Value begins to emerge but growth rate remains low.

  16. US • Mixed signals on the economy. • Favorable • Auto sales were up again in July. • Refinancing continued to rise due to low short rates. • Core CPI deflator was up just 1.1% - no inflationary pressure. • Unfavorable • GDP growth rose 5.0% in Q1 and 1.1% in Q2. • The unemployment rate edged up to 5.9%. • Corporate capital expenditure isn’t recovering as companies resize themselves for profitability. • Stocks and the USD remained weak.

  17. Europe • Monetary policies remain restrictive. • Recent strength of the Euro may slow down economic growth. • Strong Euro vs USD may erode export competitiveness but reduce inflationary pressure. • Capital expenditure rebound will be critical but high debt levels of European telcos may delay corporate capital expenditure. • We remain cautious in Technology & Telecoms and prefer Cyclicals.

  18. Japan • Domestic consumption is likely to stay weak. • The strong Yen may erode export competitiveness. • Deflationary pressure remains. • Bankruptcies are still rising and will continue to hit consumer sentiment.

  19. Other Asia • Asian markets are still attractively valued relative to developed markets. • Pre-emptive rate hikes in Korea & Australia are favorable to a more sustainable economic upturn. • Consumer balance sheet are healthy: • Nominal interest rates are at historically low levels. • Demographics are favorable. • Banking sector has undergone massive consolidation and clean up, especially in Korea and Malaysia. • Trimmed technology holdings and focus on domestic consumption related companies.

  20. Global Bonds Strategy Duration-adjusted Weightings Relative to Benchmark US Dollar : Overweight Europe (ex-UK) : Overweight UK : Neutral Japan : Neutral Hong Kong : Neutral Data as of 31 August 2002
