Fund managers’ stock picks

Stocks on Bursa Malaysia are off to a rocky start in 2015. It’s a continuation of what has been happening late last year when the decline in crude oil prices and the prospects of a better economy and higher interest rates in the US meant that there was an exodus of foreign money from the local stock market.

Fund managers polled by StarBizWeek have their favourite stocks and have given their reasons why they like such counters.
