One question that we frequently get relates to a common behavioural bias for quality investors: how do we balance admiration for a company without becoming too complacent? 09 October, 2023 Article 8 mins Travelling, rather than arriving, with companies in India Sree Agarwal and Shivika Srimal, investment analysts at FSSA Investment Managers, believe there are a number of reasons to be positive on India in the long run, and shared their rationale at the FSSA Forum 2023. 05 October, 2023 Article 6 mins China: what has changed... and what remains the same Most people in North America and Europe hold a negative view of China, according to a recent survey. This is hardly surprising given the portrayals in Western media. 05 October, 2023 Article 5 mins Market outlook: it’s the end of the world, all over again?! In the Asian markets, investors have gone from “anything, as long as it’s China” to today’s high levels of fear and disbelief, but that is typical when markets fall significantly. 05 October, 2023 Article 5 mins Martin Lau: Revisiting the Case for Investing in Chinese Stocks In this podcast sponsored by Morningstar, our Managing Partner, Martin Lau, reflects on the state of China’s economy and market and what the future might hold. 21 September, 2023 Article 53 mins High-quality companies hiding in small market capitalisations In our last update, we touched on the idea of high-quality companies hiding in small market capitalisations in ASEAN .

This time, concerns include the uneven post-Covid recovery, the lack of stimulus and weak external demand. 13 July, 2023 Article 10 mins Investing in great businesses One of the true competitive advantages we believe we have at FSSA is a genuine long-term investment horizon. For us, investing is not about trying to predict which stocks will rise or fall next month or quarter; rather, it is a non-speculative activity aimed at participating in the long-term value creation we believe the best companies can generate. 05 July, 2023 Article 6 mins An essay on not investing As the saying goes, those who stand for nothing, fall for everything. And so it is that we believe there isn’t a price for every business. Most are better left alone in the interests of sleeping better at night. Staying disciplined to our process means erring on the side of caution and avoiding companies where we have lingering suspicions about the governance practices. 28 June, 2023 Article 4 mins Previous page 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Next page
