Investors seen shifting more to risky assets this year

Rountree: ‘The Malaysian market has been a good story living in a world of great story.’

KUALA LUMPUR: Investors’ shift to risky assets is expected to accelerate this year, and this could benefit emerging markets, including Malaysia, whose equity market seems to offer the best yield, according to Eastspring Investments.

According to the global fund manager, the extreme valuation mispricing of emerging-market equities, which had been “oversold” in recent years, could snap back on rising confidence.
