Technical Strategy
Asias growth struggles have kept markets range-bound with MXAPJ flat YTD and some of the high-growth markets underperforming the most. Near-term outlook is bearish in absolute terms and we renew our Asian underperformance call. MXAPJ needs a volume-led breakout from the 485-93 resistance zone to get constructive, in our view. MACD, RSI and moving average positioning suggest downside risks in the near term and increasing likelihood of a reversal in the intermediate trend. 450 is an important support/ stop level.

DM equities made new highs with weak growth. The key test is can the companies deliver a constant improvement in cash flow? EMs in aggregate failed to do this. We believe this is changing. Economic growth forecasts are modest (see page 81 for complete Asia and EM forecasts). The feared credit crunch after the tapering stress did not occur (see page 20). With the bar set low, EM equities should squeeze higher as companies generate growth in earnings and cash flow ahead of expectations. Resilience of earnings is a key theme. Each country and sector page covers this topic. We are OW on India, Taiwan and Thailand where we believe 2014 GDP growth forecasts are below potential. This increases the chance of a positive surprise. Thailand should enjoy the benefit of lower interest rates, a more competitive currency and stronger global trade in 2014.

Faster (slightly) and broader economic growth With all DMs growing and a cyclical lift ex-China growth is broadening (see table below). Our style bias is shifting to value. The large premiums in staples and growth stocks that developed in 2013 should reverse in 2014 (see page 17). The Philippines forward P/E is 35% above average. We are downgrading the Philippines to neutral as valuations discount strong fundamentals. Australia: carry can carry high P/Es, not currency Australias equity market is largely made up of highreturn, high-payout oligopolies in a high-rate currency. Hence it has been squarely in the way of the global carry trade in which valuation bands have been blurred by easy DM monetary policy. An Aussie OW within a regional portfolio duly behaved like a typical carry trade in 2013: steady positive returns most of the time, with a big drawdown when volatility spiked in the middle of the year. Going into 2014 we see two possible reasons to be underweight Australia versus Asia-Pacific. The negative one is that this liquidity-driven upward grind has pushed valuations to vulnerable levels, both for stocks and for the currency. We are more cautious on the latter than the former. It is optimistic, in our view, to expect growth to rebalance from the terms of trade and commodity capex at this exchange rate. The AUD remains vulnerable to the tapering cycle. We are more reconciled to high multiples, but take issue with those who see them as a
down-payment on a profits upswing. There is little macro or micro basis to forecast earnings acceleration. Yet high valuations do not justify a bear case while global rates remain supportive and RBA easing. Cash rates hitting excrisis lows bring local investors into the carry business. Australia lagged MSCI World in 2013 but edged ahead of Asia Pacific ex Japan. Valuations imply the continuation of high returns in the key non-Mining sectors, which may be right but leaves less room for rerating. Hong Kong and Singapore, the other developed Asian markets, face asset deflation. To avoid a large underweight in developed Asia we are neutral on Australia. The key risk is Australian dollar weakness. Fortunately hedging costs are reasonable.

The IMF article IV on China was a rude shock for the final bulls. As was the case in other Asian countries in the mid-90s, the economic miracle of opening a competitiveness ambitious workforce to global demand has matured into a leverage-driven growth model. Debt/GDP expanded by 50% in the last four years (see Figure 25). The augmented fiscal deficit was an alarming 10% of GDP (excluding the railway budget). Investors have voted. Asset-based businesses including banks are at distressed valuations. The few growth/ thematic sectors internet, pollution control and staples re-rated. We are left agreeing with the market. We are concerned that inflation is rising as wage growth is decelerating. This is a poor combination for real consumption growth. There remains a strange expectation that more rational capital allocation is consistent with growth above 7%. In our view, it is not. Talk of rebalancing is simply talk: the data is that 57% of growth in 3Q13 was driven by investment. This is disturbing. To defeat 19 months of PPI deflation (see Figure 26), less capex combined with capacity reduction is needed. But this would hit local government revenue as would land reform. Credible reform is expensive in a fiscally constrained country and could result in much slower headline growth. The high cost of reform may explain the lack of detail from the Third Party Plenum. The stock market is not the economy. Reform that leads to better capital allocation may prove more profitable for equity investors. We expect China to remain a narrow market of expensive thematic sectors with occasional cyclical rallies with mini-stimulus similar to 3Q13. This was the pattern for Japanese equities in the last two decades. The notable difference is that Chinese equities do not appear to be overvalued. We are UW on China as thematic growth stocks are crowded expensive trades and the cyclical peak was in 3Q13. Industrial production in India is barely growing (2%oya in September). Despite a very weak economy, EPS growth in India is ahead of that of many markets (see page 22). Equity markets are not simply a reflection of the local economy. Export earnings and a corporate sector that assumes a difficult macro environment provides the condition for more resilient earnings. Policy expectations are understandably low ahead of the general election (see page 8). The Reserve Bank of India policies helped restore confidence. FX reserves are rising and the current account deficit narrowing. We are OW on IT, financials and metals in India, resulting in an OW on India within APxJ.

We are in a 'tapering time-out'. See page 10 for the uncomfortable journey to neutral monetary policy. Strangely the new goldilocks is slow US growth combined with a better Europe and Japan. This lukewarm US delays tapering in the US, while providing an external lift for EM exports to Europe and Japan. We doubt this environment will be sustained through 2014. J.P. Morgans estimate on the start of tapering was 2Q14; it is now 1Q14. The change was driven by one data point Octobers non-farm payroll. Those current account deficits (CAD) countries that use the taperingtime-out to promote pro-FDI policies and narrow their CAD will be less vulnerable when the time-out ends. The rest are likely to suffer from weaker currencies and asset prices. Be prepared to move ahead of the herd. Tapering is just the start. The all-time low for 10-year US Treasuries was 1.39% on 24 July 2012. This years low was 1.63% in early May, after the BoJ announcement on QQE and a few weeks before the Feds tapering minutes. J.P. Morgan forecasts that we are now in a bond bear market. UST10-year yields of 5-6% would be consistent with pre-GFC neutral monetary policy. The two key forecasts are the first increase in the Fed fund target rate in 3Q15 and a 4Q14 UST10-year yield of 3.5%. Our global fixed income returns forecasts are +/5%; little reward for unchartered territory. The journey to neutral policy is likely to be protracted and uncomfortable. Korean and Taiwanese financials are some of the few direct beneficiaries of higher interest rates. We are OW on Taiwan and Korea. These countries also benefit from current account surpluses. Zero interest rates generated bubbles in Hong Kong and Singapore property. We forecast asset deflation. Policy designed to control prices has just increased market friction through high stamp duty. This is counterproductive as it impacts supply. Lower transaction volume typically leads to volatility. Our concern is that property prices gap down. Banks in Hong Kong proved resilient when property prices fell 70% from 1997 to 2003. Risk today is higher due to cross-border lending. Avoid real estate and banks in Hong Kong and Singapore. We are UW on Hong Kong and Singapore. The dispersion in FX returns drove relative performance in 2013. FX risk is likely to be higher for expensive currencies. We are concerned about Indonesian Rupiah and the Australian dollar. J.P. Morgans end-2014 forecast for the IDR and AUD are 11,800 and 0.92 respectively. The combination of a weakening currency and higher interest rates drives our UW in Indonesia. The core of this document is the contribution from our country and sector heads (see page 87 to156) plus 105 top picks and 62 stocks to avoid (see pages 171 to 519).

Key parties: 1. United Progressive Alliance (UPA) led by Indian National Congress: The ruling coalition UPA did better than in the opinion polls in the last two elections. The governments pro-rural policies may have helped. The UPA is yet to announce its candidate for PM. 2. National Democratic Alliance (NDA) led by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP): Recent opinion polls have the NDA in the lead. Mr Narendra Modi, the current Chief Minister of Gujarat, is a potential BJP PM candidate. GDP growth in Gujarat averaged 10% versus 8% median growth of states in India, from FY06 to FY12 (Source: CSO). 3. Third Front: Left Front, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), Biju Janata Dal (BJD), Telugu Desam Party (TDP), All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) and Janata Dal United (JDU) are some of the key parties in the Third Front alliance. The Third Front has no track record or well-defined policy priorities. But there have been some major policy developments in non-NDA, non-UPA coalition governments. Five big state elections from 11 November to 4 December (Chattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Mizoram and Delhi) will be viewed as a guide to the May election. The result of a recent opinion poll carried out for ET NOW was an increase in votes for the BJP at the expense of the UPA. A ruling majority is 272 seats in the Lok Sabha. This is a challenge for all potential coalitions. The market and opinion polls track record in predicting the election is poor. Be careful if the market is discounting its desired outcome.

Candidates for president will be announced after the parliamentary elections in early April. Parties or groups of parties that control at least 20% of the parliament or have 25% of the popular vote will be eligible to nominate a presidential candidate. We believe the stock market will react positively if Joko Widodo, the governor of Jakarta, is nominated. Below we list the leading parties in the current parliament and some of the potential presidential nominees: 1. Partai Demokrat: 21% of the current parliament, founded by current president SBY. By constitutional limits, SBY cannot stand for another term. PD has opted for a convention process to choose its next candidate. Ret. Gen. Edie Pramono, ex army chief of staff and brother in law of the current president, is among prominent convention candidates. According to recent surveys PD may lose many seats and could end up with 7-10% of the next parliament. This could make it difficult for it to nominate a candidate without an alliance with another party. 2. Golkar: 14.4% of the current parliament, founded by Soeharto, but targets getting over 20%. The Presidential candidate is Abu Rizal Bakrie, the party Chair. However he is polling at low levels in presidential preference polls (LIPI, CSIS April 2013), with weakness in Central and East Java surveys. His candidacy could be vulnerable to a leadership challenge if the party does well but his personal popularity does not improve. Other senior politicians from Golkar include former VP Jusuf Kalla. 3. PDI-P: 14.4% of the current parliament, but aims to get to more than 20%. This is the party led by former President Megawati Soekarnoputri, the daughter of Indonesias first President. She has been its presidential candidate in every election since 2000. The party has not officially announced its candidate, but the highly popular Jakarta Governor, Joko Widodo, a PDIP member, has been widely discussed as a contender. It is unlikely that PDIP will make an official decision until early next year. Other important party functionaries include Megawatis daughter, Puan Maharani. 4. Gerindra: Gerindra has 4.5% of the current parliament. Polls put the party at c11% currently. Its candidate is Prabowo Subianto, a former general, who is personally polling strongly among presidential aspirants, behind only Mr Widodo. The issue for Mr Prabowo would be to get through the nomination threshold. He needs to convince voters to go out and vote for Gerindra and then go out again to vote for him.
9
5. Hanura: Hanura is headed by former head of the Army Ret. General Wiranto, and has 3.6% of the current parliament. Its presidential candidate is Ret. Gen. Wiranto, with MNC group Taipan Hary Tanoesoedipto as his running mate. Current opinion polls suggest it is unlikely that the party will reach the nomination threshold, but it might look to exert leverage as a swing factor for another party making the nomination.

Equity/bond allocations appear to be driven by returns. When equity returns outpaced bond returns, retail investors preferred equity funds to bond funds and viceversa. Interestingly, the 1999-2000 period and 2004 periods of negative bond fund flows coincide with periods when investors most preferred equities to fixed income, but this preference was not so apparent in 19941995. In the current cycle, with bonds underperforming equities, bond funds seeing outflows, and inflows into equities outpacing those into bond funds, we do appear to be at the beginning of a great rotationat least by retail investorsbut it is too soon to tell if it will be sustained. Past sell-offs began with the Fed tightening The Treasury market sell-offs in 1987, 1994, 1999 and 2004 were all sparked by the beginning of a Fed tightening cycle, but each of these cycles were unique. The 1994-95 tightening cycle was especially aggressive: the Fed doubled the Fed funds ratefrom 3% to 6% over 12 months, and this tightening came after an extended 17-month on-hold period (Figure 13). The sizes of the rate increases were generally large: the Fed raised rates six times in total, including two 50bp increases and one 75bp tightening. In contrast, the pace of tightening in 1999 and 2004 was much more gradual: in 1999 and 2004, the Fed tightened by approximately 50bp per quarter, well below the 74bp per quarter rate seen during the 1994 period. Meanwhile, the 1987 episode is somewhat unique: the Fed began tightening after a relatively short period of just six months on hold, and the tightening cycle lasted just 7 months. However, in this short horizon, the Fed managed to raise the Fed funds rate by 150bp, second only to the 1994 episode for the aggressive pace of tightening.

Details around the 1987, 1994, 1999 and 2004 Fed tightening cycles
Given that the pace of tightening in each of these periods was different, the markets reaction was quite different as well. Figure 4 shows the cumulative change in 10-yr yields from six months before the first tightening in February 1987, February 1994, June 1999 and June 2004, until six months after. In 1987 and 1994, 10-yr Treasury yields rose only modestly in the months leading up to the first tightening, and then reacted severely, rising almost 200bp in the six months following the first rate hikes. Meanwhile, in 1999, 10-yr yields rose more than 100bp in the six months leading up to the first tightening, but then rose 55bp in the following six months. Finally, in 2004, 10-yr yields rose more than 50bp in anticipation of the first Fed tightening, but then steadily rallied once the Fed began to raise rates.

Aside from the varying pace of Fed tightening, market expectations and foreign investor demand offer insights on the degree of yield behavior. First, in 1994, the tightening took the market by surprise: just weeks before the first rate hike, Fed funds futures markets were pricing in only 25bp of tightening in the following three FOMC meetings, while in 2004, the market had already priced in more than 75bp of tightening over the following three meetings. Meanwhile, in 1999, the market was pricing in just 25bp of tightening in the month leading up to the first rate hike, but rates had already begun to rise as the volatility stemming from the 1998 financial crisis subsided. Finally, the muted response of long-term yields to the 2004-2006 tightening cycle was characterized by then-FOMC Chairman Greenspan as a conundrum. In this period, foreign central banks began to grow their dollar reserves
substantially: in 2004, foreign central banks accumulated $20bn Treasuries per month on average, more than twice the rate observed in 2003 and more than four times the rate observed in 2002. This strong demand from foreign investors likely helped depress bond yields after the onset of the tightening cycle. Looking beyond Treasuries, it is also useful to examine how other fixed income sectors performed in past great rotation periods. However, given data limitations, we will focus only on the 2004 cycle. Figure 15 presents the total returns for a variety of asset classes over 2Q04, when the bulk of the increase in yields occurred. Higher-duration sectors, such as emerging market sovereigns and Treasuries, generally underperformed on a total return basis, while the lowerduration sectors like MBS and high yield outperformed. On a spread basis, emerging markets clearly underperformed, with spreads widening 68bp over 2Q04, while high yield spreads actually tightened 50bp (Figure 16). In contrast, spreads on Agencies, high grade, and MBS were close to unchanged over this period.

Tightening cycles have accompanied significant changes to the Feds communication policies Fed communication has evolved since the FOMC first began the practice of issuing statements after its meetings during the 1994-95 tightening cycle. It first announced the outcome of a meeting in February 1994, when it first raised rates in that cycle, and the statement noted Chairman Greenspan decided to announce this action immediately so as to avoid any misunderstanding of the Committees purposes, given the fact that this is the first firming of reserve market conditions by the Committee since early 1989. After the last tightening in the cycle in February 1995, the Committee indicated in the minutes that it would immediately communicate all changes in the stance of monetary policy through a press release, though it would not necessarily issue a statement if no policy change was made. In January 2000, in the middle of the 1999-2000 tightening cycle, the Fed announced that it would issue a statement after every regularly scheduled meeting, regardless of whether a policy change had been made or not. In December 2004, in the middle of the 2004-2006 tightening cycle, the Fed changed the release schedule for FOMC meeting minutes. From February 1993 until that date, the minutes for a given meeting had been published about 3 days after the subsequent meeting. Starting in December 2004, however, the minutes were released 3 weeks after the meeting.

This summer, we saw a similar pattern play out on a total return basis. Underperformance was driven by the higher-duration sections like emerging markets and high grade once again (Figure 17). In addition, given that the average duration across sectors is generally higher than in 2004, total returns were more negative than in 2004. On a spread basis, however, the current cycle looks considerably different: both emerging market and high yield spreads widened significantly, while spread widening across the other sectors was more muted (Figure 8).

In recent years, although we have not been in a tightening cycle, several additional changes have been made to improve transparency under Chairman Bernankes tenure. First, in October 2007, the FOMC began releasing the Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) produced by the FOMC meeting participants in the meeting minutes. Second, in April 2011, the Chairman began holding post-meeting press conferences after selected FOMC meetings. At these meetings, an advance version of the SEP is released in conjunction with the press conference.

In addition to changing the Feds communication policies, the Bernanke Fed has also expanded the FOMCs monetary policy toolbox. Since 2008, the Fed has initiated several rounds of large-scale asset purchases (LSAP), as detailed in Figure 19. Since 2011, the Fed has also included guidance on the future stance of monetary policy, first by forecasting how long it would stay on hold (calendar guidance) and then by introducing explicit macroeconomic scenarios (thresholds) that would determine how long the Fed would stay on hold (Figure 20).
Description Announced it will purchase up to $100bn of Agency debt and up to $500bn of Agency MBS Increased purchases to $200bn of Agency debt, $1250bn of Agency MBS, and $300bn of Treasuries Announced it will reinv est matured Agency debt/MBS into Tresauries Announced it will purchase $60bbn Treasuries by end of 2H11 Announced it will sell $400bn of front-end Treasuries and buy longer-maturity Treasuries through 2H12 Ex tended Operation Twist through end of 2012 (approx imately $267bn of purchases/sales) Announced it would purchase $40bn of Agency MBS per month Announced it would also purchase $45bn of Treasuries per month

Inflation complacency With economic growth still below trend, inflation is forecast to remain low. An inflation surprise would be very disruptive. Uncertain Chinese economic policy Chinese economic policy is confusing. We see two possible extreme scenarios. The first is credible economic reform and rational capital allocation leading to significantly lower economic growth, an outcome that would be good for equity investors. The second is that leverage continues to increase to support the current growth model. As a result investors are forced to manage for cyclical rallies driven by mini-stimulus similar to 3Q13. The second outcome exacerbates Chinas high debt/GDP problem and increases risks in the financial system. This leads to the final risk which is a liquidity event in the onshore interbank market or unwind of the short US dollar long Renminbi carry trade.

Amnesty Bill resubmitted in Thailand The Amnesty Bill generated large-scale protests in Thailand. The bill was approved by the Lower House. The Senate rejected the bill by a 141-0 vote. However the lower house can legally pass legislation without the approval of the Senate after 180 days. Such an event would increase market volatility and is a risk to our OW on Thailand. Political cycle frustrates reform There are important elections in six emerging markets next year: South Africa (April general elections), India (May general elections), Colombia (May presidential elections), Indonesia (July presidential elections), Turkey (August presidential elections) and Brazil (October presidential elections). Elections tend to disrupt progress on reforms but the also result in low reform expectations! Please see page 8 for more on elections. European political risk Tail risks are no-longer priced in Europe. Fiscal consolidation continues. The electorates and thus politicians willingness to pursue reform may fall as the sense of crisis diminishes. Volatility in FX and energy not priced into markets It is a difficult environment to forecast currency and oil price movements. Our forecasts are close to spot. FX volatility could increase if the US economy accelerates and the Fed exits QE. Our commodity strategist, Colin Fenton, notes: The bull case is a seasonal pick-up in refinery runs, increased MENA supply outages and accelerating 4Q13 demand. The bear case is a peace deal with Iran (rapid supply increase), weak refinery margins prompting run cuts, improved efficiency of shale extraction, impending US debt ceiling and needed budget resolution in 1Q14. The rapid decline in the cost of solar energy makes it a disruptive technology. It is scalable, which allows for faster adoption. It is another bear factor for thermal coal. Although at an early stage, large autos companies are launching appealing electric cars in 2014. If successful, these may change the long-term demand forecasts for oil.
Chinese environmental crisis China needs to reduce the use of fossil fuels in urban areas. An aggressive anti-pollution drive would hit both coal and oil demand. India faces deteriorating growth inflation trade-off The key risk to our OW on India is that inflation accelerates while domestic demand is still weak. Indias PMI is below 50 for the last five months. With the exception of export orders, all other PMI components reflect a weakening macro environment. Notably the PMI orders to inventory ratio is at a 57-month low. Sluggish manufacturing activity has failed to contain inflation. The PMI output price index is at a seven-month high. The concern is that firms will begin to raise prices and normalize margins at the first sign of demand recovery. This could lead to further policy tightening.

Risk to OW on technology Smartphone sales are forecast to decelerate in 2014. Our tech analyst, Alvin Kwock notes that there are signs of saturation in two key markets for late-cycle smartphones: a) Brands with high DM exposure have found it difficult to see further unit growth; for instance, recent supply chain checks suggest while iPhone 5S has seen ~5MM increase in order rates, 5C order rate almost halved, with a net unit cut of ~7MM overall for 4Q; b) China smartphone diffusion rate is estimated at 80+%. NonChina EMs smartphone demand is at an early stage of conversion. The potential market unit size is 3-4x bigger than China. A pick-up in enterprise spending could offset some consumer weakness.

Japan
Bullish Japan Equities We think the structural bull market for Japanese risk assets -- equities and real estate -- is poised to regain momentum in 2014. We forecast TOPIX will rise toward 1,800 over the coming 12-18 months, driven by relentless monetary stimulus, steady increases in profits as well as company leaders implementing more return-focused corporate strategies. By sectors, we are most focused on domestic demand sectors--banks are our top pick, followed by real estate, construction, services and retail. For exporters, we are positive capital goods and cars. The tech space we view as more stock specific, as global competition intensifies and Japanese makers appear to lack innovative massconsumer products. Profit Growth Surprises While Japan's quarterly GDP is poised to be have extraordinary volatility due to the consumption tax hike from April 1, the underlying improvement in corporate earnings is set to continue, in our view. Benefits of last years' restructuring --stepped-up overseas production, aggressive M&A, and capacity cutbacks-- are poised to feed structurally higher margins. We think Japan stands at the beginning of a productivity boom. Specifically, we forecast ROE to rise towards 12% by early 2015. Key indicators for 2014 Our Japan thesis is one of the economy pulling out of its liquidity trap, so money and credit growth data is key. Specifically, we want to see a broadening-out of credit growth led by corporate sector re-leveraging. Also, price developments are key. In 2013, the switch from deflation to inflation was almost entirely because of cost-push factors. In 2014, demand-pull and corporate price power must start to materialize for our bull-market thesis to be sustained. Unfortunately, we believe this may take until July or August to get first insights into true underlying price power trends (due to the tax hike distortions). Risk factors On the Japan domestic front, we think the biggest risk is cost-push inflation. If all price pressure stays cost-push only, our thesis of structural profit margin increases will come under pressure. If this were the case, monetary authorities would have to engineer a more significant round of yen depreciation to provide a positive offset via higher earnings from exports and off-shore production.

Following the resolution of the US debt ceiling and expectations of a delayed tapering in October, Asian equity volatility resumed its downward trend. Current equity volatility levels reflect a relative optimistic assessment of potential risks. Specifically the derivatives markets continue to price in volatility for 1H14 similar to levels realized in 2H13 (Figure 44), with a median implied-to-realized spread of only 1.1 volatility points. Low expected volatility may correctly predict the return to the old normal regime of higher growth and lower risks. However generally speaking, when VIX stays in the low teens (~13 at the time of this writing), too much complacency in place can

exacerbate the effect of exogenous shocks, especially when forward guidance of the Fed is in focus, and it has a history of catching people off guard. Considering the aforementioned policy risk factors and implied volatility currently at the low end of their trading range for most markets, downside to volatility going into 2014 is limited, in our view.

Asian options offer attractive risk-reward for direction investors Although low levels of implied volatility resulted in substantially cheaper option pricing, the current low realized volatility environment has made long volatility or option positions difficult to manage for volatility investors due to a negative carry. However, we find that historically, the high beta, trending nature of Asian markets in particular EM Asia has resulted in significant price swings even during lowvolatility environments. Indeed, when we compare the quarterly absolute moves over the past 10 years and group them into various buckets of quarterly realized volatility (Figure 45), we find that even during the low volatility environment similar to the one we are experiencing today (i.e. between 10% and 20% realized volatility), the average quarterly moves exhibited by EM Asia indices have been much greater than the average quarterly moves in the US and Europe indices (7% versus 5%). This analysis reinforces the notion that EM Asia can have relatively larger directional moves while realizing low volatility, improving the profitability and breakeven attractiveness of owning options in this region.

Sell Taiwan TAIEX long-dated risk reversals (sell put and buy call): Investors with a medium-to-long-term bullish view on Taiwan can consider selling risk reversals on TWSE to take advantage of the index forward discount, which is a function of low interest rates and high dividend and borrow rates. For example, investors can sell 12M 91.5%-ATM risk reversals (buy ATM call & sell 91.5% put) at zero-cost. The strike level of puts to sell to fully fund the purchase of ATM calls reversal is by far the lowest in TWSE versus other major equity indices, providing a strategy with asymmetric risk-reward characteristics (Table 36). Another way to measure the inherent value in the risk reversal strategy is to compare the number of call options with a particular strike you can purchase fully financed by selling one put option with a particular strike. Using this measure with 12M 95% call and 105% put options, TWSE stands out again at the top as investors can buy 2.3x 12M 105% calls by selling 1x 12M 95% put. Compared to an outright long cash equity position, selling risk reversals on the TWSE has a superior payoff profile as shown in Figure 46. Global benchmark investors who are currently using ETFs to track their Taiwan exposure can consider switching into the TWSE risk reversals for improved risk-reward.

Buy Hang Seng, MSCI Singapore and ASX 200 short-dated puts to hedge for Fed tapering risk: We are underweight on Hong Kong and Singapore within Asia Pacific due to the asset deflation risk and remain cautious on the AUD vulnerability to the tapering cycle. Past tapering history supports the view that HSI, SIMSCI and AS51 are particularly vulnerable to higher treasury yields given the high yielding nature of their equity markets and the heavy weights of the property segment. Investors with bearish views on these markets can consider buying puts to hedge the downside risks, especially after the strong run in recent months. Looking at the correlation of equity indices with US 10yr swap rates (measured by weekly data for 1yr) in Table 37, both AS51 and SIMSCI are highly negatively correlated with swap rate moves (correlation < -10%). Table 37 also shows the return-to-premium ratio for 3M 95% puts on major Asian equity indices. This measure compares the potential gain on going long the put option if the underlying index goes back to the lows since May 2013 with the current cost of purchasing put options. By this measure, AS51 3M 95% put ranks the highest, implying the attractiveness of puts for protection. HSI 3M 95% put also ranks highly despite its relatively expensive option pricing compared to AS51 and SIMSCI.

investors regain exposure to the underlying asset, and this exposure is multiplied by the number of puts sold. Call Spread. The buyer risks losing 100% of the premium paid. The gain is limited to the spread between the two strike prices. The seller of a call spread risks losing an amount equal to the spread between the two call strikes less the net premium received. By selling a covered call spread, the investor remains exposed to the downside of the underlying asset and gives up the spread between the two call strikes should the underlying asset rally. Butterfly Spread. A butterfly spread consists of two spreads established simultaneously one a bull spread and the other a bear spread. The resulting position is neutral, that is, the investor will profit if the underlying is stable. Butterfly spreads are established at a net debit. The maximum profit will occur at the middle strike price; the maximum loss is the net debit.

Figure 60: MXAPJ Weekly (top Chart) + MXAPJ vs. MXWO (bottom Chart)
MXAPJ View
Absolute View MXAPJ needs a volume led breakout from the 485-93 resistance zone for us to get constructive. MACD, RSI and moving average positioning suggest downside risks in the near term and increasing likelihood of a reversal in the intermediate trend. 450 remains an important support/ stop level. Asia vs. World Outperformance since Aug13 has mostly unwound with relative index hovering just above important support level. A break below Aug13 lows will accelerate MXAPJs underperformance. Country View (1) Outperform Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore (2) Underperform India, Asean, China. On a country basis, we see most potential in Japan both on absolute basis (once we break out of current consolidation) and vs. MXAPJ. MXAPJ and MXASJ are expected to under-perform global markets. Sector View (1) Outperform Tech, Industrials, Materials (2) Underperform Financials, Consumer, Energy, Defensives. Incrementally, we see risks arising in the consumer discretionary sector after a solid outperformance since Apr13

MXAPJs inability to pierce glass ceiling zone of 485-493 is now putting the intermediate trend at risk of a reversal. A 450 stop is yet to be triggered although momentum has a distinctive bearish hue Outperformance since Aug13 mostly unwound and a break below Aug13 levels risks deeper underperformance
Absolute View Monthly Nov risks a bearish harami candle as the index struggles against 2007 downtrendline. Lackluster volume/ RSI/ MACD positioning. Weekly - for now, risk of a double top is the dominant read and a break below 450 will reverse the previous higher highs and higher lows trend. MXAPJ sitting on crucial 40wma but with both MACD and RSI turning down, a downside break is looking likely Daily MACD in sell mode as is 20/50dma. Sitting on 200dma critical level
Relative View A 550bp outperformance since early Aug13 is mostly unwound following 26wma resistance. RSI shows momentum fade Primary trend is bearish and breaks below Aug13 lows will accelerate under-performance

Quality vs. Value performance over the last 3 years note the overall better performance of Quality, with pockets of Value performance here and there
This chart is the PE of Risk or in other words the differential in PE (forward) terms between a basket of high beta and low beta
60
Position for risk using Value The best way to get exposure to risk we think is through deep value in particular the P/B factor. The crosssectional correlation of P/B and Beta is currently at an all time high of 35-40% (see Figure 3 on the previous page). This way you are buying an 'alpha' factor at least. Buying high beta stocks directly is a pure market call. But P/B is an alpha factor, and buying cheap can work regardless what the markets are doing. The Seasonality cherry on the Value pie We have been making a case for Value without yet considering the calendar effects on the factors. This is one aspect we have not included in our formal risk timer model. Instead we prefer to keep an eye on this factor seasonality separately, and around year end is when it has some particularly interesting effects. Firstly, Value investing dominates around year end December and January are big P/B months. Now this is not something we get too excited about and so its not included in our style timing models. But the hit rates are very compelling. Over the last 20 years Value has outperformed in January 80% of the time. Since 2008 that hit rate has been 100%. Most investors are aware of this and have their favourite 'risk-on' stocks to own each January - and we think the effect might be becoming diluted as some pre positioning is happening and profit taking happening sooner. But for what it is worth Value typically outperforms in January. Secondly, the biggest loser is Price momentum in January (i.e. the 12-month winners). Watch out for the winners as they are not cheap! And our last interesting aspect on factor seasonality is the complete failing of Earnings momentum in December and January; a factor which otherwise works great the rest of the year! (Which makes sense as everyone is on holidays and probably more focused on the eggnog than earnings.) So in summary, buy cheap and avoid the winners going into year end. Furthermore dont be as concerned about Earnings over December / January as you usually would.
Price / Book by calendar month since 1994 performs strongly in January and somewhat in December too

Sitting on the risk fence Of course there is always the good old quality at a reasonable price for the fence sitters out there. And we also like to hedge our views, so a more beta/risk neutral approach makes good sense to us too (yes to fence sitting!). In its simplest form this can be implemented as PB + ROE which are a powerful combination in Asia and GEM. The strategy has delivered constant and impressive returns for the last decade or more if bought at the start of every January (but note the trades need to be in place at the very start of the year to benefit from the PB boost each year). See the performance and max drawdown in the top chart to the right. In these tests we are buying a composite blend of P/B and Historical ROE every January and holding the stocks all year an added benefit is that turnover is super low! For the strategy we build a 50:50 composite of the crosssectional z-scores of P/B (lower is better) and Historical ROE (higher is better). We rank this new score from highest to lowest and go long the top 10% and short the bottom 10% of the MSCI Asia ex Japan universe. Rebalance is every 31 December (starting in 1999).
L/S Performance of PB + ROE since 2000 rebalanced every Dec 31st does very well especially in the last 5 years

Country Matrix
When comparing factor performance by country, we notice a few interesting points: Malaysia has the highest risk-adjusted returns for quant and Korea has the highest absolute long-short returns for quant (although shorting is a problem) Quant models with a Value Bias generally performed better outperforming in 6 out of 10 countries Earnings factors that worked well were those related to Net Earnings Revisions to FY1 and FY2 and Change in Consensus Recommendations, although they have quite high turnover For a simple composite, P/B ROE performed consistently across geographies, and was even the best performing factor in Korea 1-mth Price Momentum and RSI 10-day taken as contra-indicators (e.g. 1-mth Price Reversion) worked fairly consistently across geographies Historical Dividend Yield worked best in the more developed markets of Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, and China (with the exception of Malaysia where many systematic strategies worked)

When comparing factor performance by sector, we notice a few interesting points and key takeaways: Consumer Discretionary, Industrials, Information Technology, and Industrials had the best risk-adjusted long-short returns for our Q-Score, indicating that these sectors are relatively more quant friendly Sectors that are more homogeneous such as Utilities and Energy or sectors with fewer companies such as Health Care may do less well on a standalone basis due to a lack of diversification Our Q-Score with a Value Bias (and underweight Price/Technical and Quality) outperformed our regular Q-Score in 7 sectors Earnings/Sentiment was the best performing factor family for 6 sectors (particularly for Financials and Information Technology), and the Value factor family was the best performing for 4 sectors 1-mth Price Momentum was a strong contra-indicator for Materials (or as a strong positive indicator as 1-mth Price Reversion) The best overall sector specific Sharpe ratio was for the Q-Score in Consumer Discretionary and Composite Earnings/Sentiment for Financials

GDP
In 2014, the effect from the consumption tax (VAT) rate hike in April from the current 5% to 8% and a change in corporate behaviorthe source of success in Abenomicswill be key factors determining Japans economic outlook. Abenomicsthe combination of ultra-easy monetary policy, flexible fiscal policy, and growth strategyhas worked quite well so far in 2013 as the sharp depreciation of the yen pushed equity prices materially higher and the wealth effect lifted private consumption in the first half of this year. The associated improvement in business and consumer confidence also supported spending, although the pace of the pickup in capex has been rather modest. In addition, the large fiscal stimulus (2% of GDP, of which 1% is in public investment) that was introduced in February 2013 likely has boosted growth from the middle of the year. Note, though, despite the weaker yen, exports were weak in the past 3Q, mainly due to soft external demand from Asia. Also, consumer spending was soft in summer, partly due to bad weather and a loss in purchasing power of households affected by higher inflation. The recent soft patch in equity prices might have weighed on spending as well. However, the latest monthly data points suggest that consumption is picking up. While purchasing power has deteriorated, the improvement in employment conditions is probably supporting consumer spending. Also, the front-loaded consumption demand ahead of the upcoming tax hike has already boosted spending, which will most likely continue until 1Q 2014. Based on the experience ahead of the previous tax hike from 3% to the current 5% in April 1997, consumption will likely jump in March after moderate pace of gains until February. Obviously, the front-loaded demand will be accompanied by a large negative pay back after the tax hike. In our view, a large contraction of consumption and GDP in 2Q next year seems inevitable. Our current forecast looks for a 4.5% annualized contraction in 2Q14 real GDP after a strong 4.0% gain in 1Q, and followed by a decent 1 to 2% gain in the second half of the year. However, given the experience in 1997, the size of swing in the first half of the year may be larger. Also, the government has committed to introduce another round of fiscal stimulus (1% of GDP) and a 2%pt cut in the corporate tax rate to ease the pain of the consumption tax hike. The timing of when the impact of the stimulus measures will materialize is hard to predict.

As such, the quarterly swing likely will mask the underlining strength of the economy so the forecast for the fiscal year (April-March) is probably more meaningful to gauge the strength. We currently look for a 0.7% gain in FY2014 after an expected 2.6% gain in FY2013. Our 0.7% growth forecast is not strong, and far below the BoJs outlook of 1.5%. Still, given that Japans potential growth rate is around 0.7%, our forecast is not particularly weak. Given that the inflation rate is expected to accelerate to close to 3% from currently less than 1% pace (the tax hike is expected to boost prices 2.0%-pts), a fall in real income and consumption in FY2014 looks certain. While wages within large firms may rise to some extent, we think it is unrealistic to expect that average wages for all workers will increase more than 2%oya. In our view, the key driver to sustain growth is capex. Exports likely will rise next year, but imports will likely rise as well so we do not expect a boost from net trade. Capex is basically determined by corporate profits and confidence of business management (note that credit conditions are currently already accommodative in Japan). In this regard, how effective Abenomics is in boosting confidence and how strongly global economy recovers next year are critical for Japans outlook. On the policy front, we now expect that the BoJ will add to its easing in April 2014, as our CPI inflation and growth forecast is more cautious than that of the BoJ. Easing measures probably will include an increase in ETF and yen bond purchases (mostly local bonds and agency bonds, not JGBs).
Growth in EM Asia is expected to remain largely unchanged at around 6% in 2014 reflecting offsetting effects of four broad global developments. On the positive side improved growth prospects in developed market economies (DM), particularly in the euro area, should strengthen external demand for EM Asia exports. But this is likely to be accompanied by a hardening of global financial conditions which, as already seen during this summer, could weigh heavily on EM Asia assets and currencies especially in economies with a current account deficit, such as India and Indonesia. Adding to this headwind is the structural and policy-induced slowdown of the Chinese economy. Chinas demand for both intermediate and final goods has been a key growth driver for the region and its moderation will negatively effect regional growth. A separate impact of the China slowdown, particularly the policy-driven weaning of the economy away from resource-intensive growth, is the attendant moderation in global commodity prices. The impact of this is likely to vary across EM Asia with economies that are commodity exporters suffering while those that are net importers benefitting at the margin. Needless to say that the net impact on specific countries will depend on how sensitive they are to these factors, their cyclical position, and policy response. Most EM Asia economies are coming out of an extended period of policy support since 2008. And while the policy cushionfiscal, monetary, and reservesremains adequate (barring India and Indonesia) , policymakers appear to have accepted the reality that trend growth is unlikely to go back to the pre-2008 days any time soon. This general acceptance of lower trend growth suggests that the policy space will be used only sparingly to support the economy in the event growth plummets. Trend growth has fallen across the region and except in a few sectors in some parts of the region there is no real sign of significant excess capacity. Thus despite generally benign inflation, macroeconomic policy is likely to remain neutral.

Recent changes in the economic management teams in both India and Indonesia, which were badly hit by fears of Fed tapering, have markedly improved policy setting towards greater orthodoxy. But with both countries facing general elections in the first half of 2014 market fears of policy being used to boost short-term growth is understandable. However, with the threat of Fed tapering still on the table before the elections in these countries, such fears may be overblown. Instead policy is likely to be tightened in the coming quarters on fears of aggravating the current account deficit (both India and Indonesia) or inflation in the case of India before the elections and the inevitable start of tapering. Going back to the regions growth prospects, the flat projection for EM Asia sits uneasy with the 1%-ppt higher expected growth in DM economies belying historical linkages between these two regions. Indeed empirical studies show that in the post 2008 period, the demand impulse from DM economies to EM Asia growth has waned substantially. Instead, demand from non-Asia EM economies have become a much bigger driver of growth in Asia. The declining share of DM economies in EM Asia export destinations and the rising share of EM economies confirm the latters rising influence. Indeed the growth slowdown in non-Asia EM economies has dragged down Asias export growth in recent quarters despite somewhat better demand from DMs. More generally EM Asias traditional growth driver exportshas not fired in the last two years after recovering strongly in 2009-10 from the 2008 crisis. In level terms Asias exports have remained stuck at its 2010 level. The sluggishness in exports has spilled over to corporate investmentAsias other key growth driveramplifying the impact on GDP growth. Whether this is just a post-crisis aberration or a trend setter, i.e., a fundamental change in Asias growth driver, is too early to tell. But if this is just an anomaly then as economic conditions in DMs improve and sustain both export growth and corporate investment in EM Asia could rebound strongly providing a significant upside risk to the baseline scenario.
At the disaggregated level, growth in China is expected to slow from the sharp rise in 3Q13 as the impact of the high credit growth earlier in the year and the mid-year fiscal stimulus fades. How quickly this happens will depend to a large extent on the aggressiveness with which the authorities purse the much needed rebalancing of the economy, which will become clearer in the course 2014 as policies are recalibrated to deliver the broad guidance of the CPCs 3rd plenary session concluded this November. Growth in India is likely to pick up in 2H14 provided the May elections deliver clarity on reforms and the dysfunctional investment framework. In ASEAN the smaller open economies that are more integrated to the global tech cycle will likely perform better than those that depend on domestic demand such as Indonesia and the Philippines. Finally both Korea and Taiwan should see growth improving from the lackluster 2013 performance with the tech cycle playing a decisive role.

Chinas economic activity experienced solid recovery in 2H13 against a backdrop of a policy shift to growth stabilization since July, lagging effect of strong credit expansion in 1Q13, and improving global final demand led by the DM world. However, the key question is the sustainability of the growth recovery. In our baseline scenario, 3Q13 likely marked the peak of economic recovery (in q/q terms), and economic growth is likely to moderate to a decent rate of 7.8%q/q saar in 4Q13, then to 7% q/q saar in 2014. Our full-year GDP growth forecasts stand at 7.6% in 2013 and 7.4% in 2013. Recovery momentum to slow in 2014 The main arguments behind our forecast of growth trajectory are twofold. On the domestic front, recent benign economic conditions provide a favorable backdrop for structure reforms. It is well anticipated that the 3rd Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee (to be held on November 9-12th) will lay out economic policies of new leaders in the next 5-10 years. The main theme of the meeting, if without surprise, is to deepen economic reform and openness. The governments effort on structural reforms could drag on growth in the near term. Moreover, from an external perspective, despite the recovery in advanced economies, emerging market economies (which have become a more important export destination for China in recent years) have continued to struggle with soft economic performance. In addition, the CNY appreciation (especially in REER terms) will have a negative impact on Chinas export recovery. Overall, while we expect Chinas exports to improve, it is unlikely to return to the solid double-digit growth. Inflation to rise moderately but remain benign The headline CPI is likely to remain stable at the current level in 4Q, and our full-year forecast of CPI inflation is 2.7%, well below the governments target of 3.5%. Going into 2014, inflation is likely to pick up moderately and average at 3.4% for the full year. The relatively benign inflation dynamics suggest that stabilizing growth and economic reform remain the priority issues for the policymakers in the near term. Credit normalization will continue In the near term, the government will likely maintain proactive fiscal policy (modestly easing) and neutral monetary policy. With relatively benign inflation dynamics, we expect no change in policy rates and RRR during next year, and credit tapering (i.e. credit growth
to slow down but still be much higher than nominal GDP growth) to continue as it is crucial in rebalancing the economic structure. Although credit normalization generally has a negative impact on economic growth, it could be offset by improving the effectiveness of the transmission channel by cracking down on speculative financial activities, and directing credit to highproductivity and fast credit-turnover sectors.
China: real GDP growth

Indias macroeconomic prospects in 2014 will hinge critically on the outturn of the national parliamentary elections in the spring. The election outcome is increasingly looking binary, with the favorable scenario (which still remains our baseline) involving one of the two national parties leading a coalition government. This is expected to boost sentiment, rekindle animal spirits and induce a pick-up in the much-awaited domestic investment cycle, thereby boosting growth, making the fiscal consolidation more tenable and taking the pressure off the central bank to contain inflation. The lessfavorable outcome entails a more fragmented polity with regional parties forming a coalition government. Such an outcome runs the risk of further depressing investment and growth, challenging any fiscal consolidation, and putting more pressure on the Rupee. Under our central scenario, growth expected to accelerate to 5% in 2014-15 from 4.1% in the current fiscal. There are indications of a cyclical upturn in growth underpinned by a firming of rural and external demand. But any acceleration is likely to be modest and temporary unless accompanied by a pick-up in domestic private investment. To their credit, the government has cleared 3-4% of GDP in projects, but implementation will likely have to wait post the spring 2014 elections when political uncertainty is resolved. Assuming political stability post election, these project approvals could provide some momentum to domestic investment, subject to the debt overhang on corporate and bank balance sheets playing itself out. Inflation pressures are likely to remain elevated as firms normalize margins, inducing more monetary tightening. Despite weak growth, WPI inflation has accelerated sharply in recent months and CPI inflation remains close to double digits. Food prices are likely to abate post the strong harvest thereby providing some relief to headline inflation. But core inflation is likely to accelerate as firms that have taken significant margins over the last year use any pick-up in demand to normalize margins. Given theses dynamics we expect at least another 25 bps of policy rate hike in the run-up to the election. Even if investment picks up post elections, it will likely pressure inflation likely resulting in more tightening in 2014 before the produced capacity comes online and puts downward pressure on core prices.
Rupee depreciation has helped narrow external imbalances. Exports have accelerated as global demand has firmed and the real exchange rate depreciation has increased competitiveness. Furthermore, gold imports have fallen sharply, and weak growth has dampened nonoil, non-gold imports. These dynamics are likely to keep the CAD to 3% of GDP this fiscal from nearly 5% last year. The CAD in 2014-15 could rise to 3.3-3.5% of GDP if growth accelerates. But, to the extent that growth is driven by investment, FDI and ECBs inflows are likely to help fund the CAD. All told, however, capital inflows and the currency are likely to be influenced most by the extent of political stability and prospects for growth and reform that emerge from the spring parliamentary elections.

Full-year real GDP to recover trend growth in 2014 We expect real GDP to increase 3.7%y/y in 2014, after having seen a below-trend growth for two straight years. On a seasonally-adjusted quarter-on-quarter basis, real GDP already bottomed out in 1Q13, having run at a 4% annualized pace for about three quarters since 2Q. We expect the pace of growth to stay in the range for now, but the over-year-ago comparison should rise further for some more quarters, with the base effect turning favorable. Growth leadership to keep rotating Growth leadership is likely to keep rotating. In the first half of 2013, the main growth drivers were government consumption and construction investment. Exports, too, remained relatively firm, but other cyclically sensitive components, such as business equipment investment and private consumption, stayed weak. In 3Q, private sector domestic demand improved modestly, but exports and government consumption slowed. We expect the contribution from cyclically sensitive demand components to rise in 2014, and government spending to step back further. Specifically, we forecast exports to rise modestly in 2014, with the prospective gain in DM countries demand more likely to outweigh the structural deceleration of Chinas. Koreas household consumption should benefit from the continued improvement of job market conditions and low level of inflation, but the case of full-stretch is still constrained by the structurally high debt-servicing burden. Business equipment investment is likely to improve as well, but not by much, with forward-looking machinery orders up only modestly via heavy volatility and business surveys hinting at a relatively high level of business caution. The key wild card will be construction investment, which has risen strongly throughout this year, even as the real estate market remained weak enough to call for supportive measures from the government. In our view, the solid gain in construction investment this year was mainly due to previous orders, as the government implemented earlier plans to relocate most of its ministries to non-Seoul metropolitan areas. Now, given
the usual time gap between construction orders and the actual investment, we believe construction investment is likely to slow down during most of 2014. Monetary policy and micro-level measures supportive, while macro-level fiscal policy to turn relatively tight Headline consumer prices rose only 0.7%oya in October, marking the lowest level since July 1999. We expect consumer inflation to rise, but only gradually, mainly as cost-push factors are likely to turn less favorable and demand-pull pressures stay at bay, with the output gap to remain in negative territory for most of next year. Against this backdrop, we expect monetary policy to stay accommodative, with the BoKs base rate staying pat until 3Q 2014. In terms of government polices, micro-level measures are likely to stay supportive, notably for real estate markets, progress in which will be important for the medium-term outlook for consumption and construction investment. However, macro-level fiscal policy will probably unwind much of its earlier stimulus. According to the preliminary plan of 2014 budget, total fiscal expenditures are expected to rise only 2.5%y/y in 2014, compared to 7.2% in 2013, also with the spending focus in favor of social safety net and welfare programs, at the cost of relatively high-multiplier items, such as infrastructure spending and industry support. Current account surplus to drop only modestly Koreas external conditions will remain healthy, with the balance of payment to stay in surplus and the ratio of short-term debt to foreign exchange reserves to keep coming down. The seasonally-adjusted current account surplus likely peaked, but we expect the prospective decline to be only gradual, if we are correct in forecasting that global oil prices, Koreas domestic demand, and a traded-weighted Won rise modestly.

Moderate recovery in 2013 The Taiwanese economy was severely affected by a number of negative external shocks since early 2011, including the Japan earthquake and the related shock to the regional supply chain, the European sovereign crisis, and the China slowdown. Taiwans export sector bottomed in 1H12, followed by a gradual, steady recovery in the following quarters. By 2Q this year, real merchandise exports finally returned to the level seen in early 2011. Meanwhile, domestic consumption remained largely sluggish, likely reflecting the lagging effect of the softness in the manufacturing sector in earlier quarters. We expect full-year 2013 GDP growth to be 1.8%oya, with 2014 growth forecast at 3.1%oya. Global economy returns to trend-like growth Following the 2011-12 slowdown in global growth, the global economy has been gradually recovering, and is expected to track a steady, trend-like growth pace in the coming quarters, led by the DM world. In addition, the more upbeat near term growth picture in China will likely support cross-strait trade flow. We think such a constructive external backdrop will support a moderate, gradual improvement in Taiwans manufacturing and export sector. Gradual feed-through to domestic demand Regarding the domestic demand outlook, while Taiwans industrial sector employment weakened steadily for the four months through June, such employment began to turn up in recent months, rising 0.3% m/m, sa in September, consistent with the recent improvement in the manufacturing sector. In addition, regular labor earnings growth (in over-year-ago terms), discounted by CPI inflation, also began to come back to positive territory lately, after staying in the negative zone for the year through June. As such, if the constructive outlook on the global economy comes true, it would likely begin to feed through to some moderate recovery in domestic consumption in the coming quarters. Monetary policy likely to remain stable Taiwans CPI has been well-contained this year. Going into 2014, CPI inflation may move up moderately to an average 1.6%oya (compared to 0.8% in 2013), but we think the overall inflation picture will still be manageable. Considering the general growth-inflation dynamics, the Taiwan central bank is likely to keep major policy rates on hold at least through 1H14.

In 2014, stronger G-3 growth and the beginning of Fed tapering will be key drivers for ASEANs outlook. This year, countries that were hardest hit in Asia from Fed tapering fears were the ones with sizeable external financing requirements, mainly Indonesia and India. As a result, policy in Indonesia is focused on managing the current account deficit, which has led to and which should continue to lead to further monetary tightening in 2014. Tighter policy will in turn lead to slower growth. In contrast, growth in the rest of ASEAN is expected to pick up though it will remain lackluster as the lift in the G-3 benefits ASEAN's manufacturing sector less than the North Asian countries and because domestic demand is expected to slow as fiscal support and credit cycles ease. Uninspiring growth along with contained food and fuel prices should keep inflation low in the region in 2014, leaving policy stances mostly unchanged. Indonesia is the exception as we expect 50bp of tightening in 1H14. In Indonesia, the main event for 2014 will be the legislative elections. Parliamentary elections are to be held on April 9, the first round presidential on July 9 and the second round presidential elections, if needed, in September. The outcome of the elections may have a material impact in 4Q14. Aside from the elections, the policy focus this year was on managing the current account deficit, which is expected to remain the case in 2014. For this reason, investment outlays are forecast to slow, especially construction and could dent growth. However, despite the slowing in domestic investment, the external terms of trade could slow as China rebalances its growth, which could imply slowing demand for commodities. Thus, despite slowing domestic demand, the current account is not expected to improve materially. The good news is that inflation is expected to ease to around 4.5-5.0%oya but this would not likely provide much room for monetary easing.

Domestic demand is expected to be in the drivers seat in Malaysia. Under the official 2014 forecast, fixed investment is also expected to continue to expand, to yield an investment to GDP of 28.9% from 28.7% in 2013, and up from the recent average of between 22-24% in the past decade. The implication here is that the current account would also continue to remain narrow at 2.3% of GDP (J.P. Morgan: 0.6% of GDP). Notably, inflation is expected to rise to between 2.0-3.0%oya in 2014 from a forecast average of 2.1%oya this year. To reach the mid-point of this forecast, month-on-month seasonally adjusted inflation would have to average 0.25%m/m, sa over the course of 2014, which would represent an acceleration relative to the 2012/2013 monthly average of 0.16%m/m, sa. This rise in inflation together with a reduction in the subsidy bill to 3.7% of GDP from 4.7% of GDP in 2013 implies some form of subsidy rationalization. In the Philippines, the economy is likely to cool to a trend-like 5.6% growth pace from 7.1% this year as investment eases from a blistering pace. Slower growth and contained food and fuel prices should keep inflation near the bottom end of BSPs 3%-5% target range (we forecast 3.4% in 2014 from 2.9% this year). The current account surplus should stay strong at 2.5% of GDP, slightly smaller than this years 3.4% of GDP as remittance growth continues to grow in the mid-single digit range compared to around 10% growth in nominal GDP. Trend-like growth along with subdued price pressures should keep BSP on hold in 2014, though in past years growth has surprised on the upside and thus risks are tilted toward modest tightening in 2H14. In Singapore, growth is forecast to accelerate slightly to 3.8% in 2014 from 3.4% in 2013 as investment picks up from the more constructive G3 outlook (exports will firm as well but the overall trade contribution will be held back from stronger imports, which should grow fast enough to cause some modest further compression in the double-digit current account surplus). Slightly stronger growth and still tight labor market conditions should lead to modestly firmer consumer prices pressures with core prices forecast to rise 2.3% in 2014 from 1.7% this year. This outlook is firm enough to keep the MAS bias modestly hawkish and the NEER policy slope on an upward trajectory but risks to the global outlook are still large enough that we do not expect any further tightening. Thus, 2014 should be another year of MAS policy inaction with acceptable but not exceptional growth.
The outlook for Thailand will hinge on the political economy, with the governments planned THB2tn spending on infrastructure projects key to the forecast. At this juncture, we expect limited impulse from the implementation of these mega projects next year, reflected in only a modest expectation for growth to lift to about 3% in 2014 from 2.6% in 2013. The improvement in growth should reflect further stabilization in domestic demand through the year, but risks to outlook include the recent deterioration in the political environment, as well as an uncertain external environment. The fragile outlook should keep the BoT on hold with a dovish bias through early 2014, unless we see further deterioration in the real economy or a marked escalation in political tensions.

JACI total return has been volatile partly due to a swing in UST yields
A choppy ride in 2013 It was a rather choppy year for the Asia credit market. After a strong start, the market turned for the worst in May on Fed tapering talks. The spike-up in UST yields and widening credit spreads led to the worst selloff in the Asia credit market since the 2008 financial crisis. Fear of liquidity drain from EM countries also put some macro strains on twin deficit countries such India and Indonesia, whose corporates suffered the brunt of the selloff. The negative return on the market led to retail outflow from EM fixed income funds, which turned into a downward spiral as negative return caused more outflow. The market only managed to regain its footing after the Fed surprised the market by deciding to push back tapering in September. While the JACI has regained some lost ground since September, the index is still in the red and is likely end the year with a negative total return of 1-2%. Despite the softer tone for the market as a whole, the various segments of the market turned in rather a mixed performance. The best performer is the HY corporates sector (+3.2% total return ytd) and the worst performer is sovereigns (-7.7% total return) that have the longest duration and thus are most sensitive to UST yields. A year of the working horse We expect 2014 to be the year of the working horse (the zodiac sign for 2014 under the Chinese lunar calendar) that has to climb a rising slope of UST yield, while carrying a still heavy burden of new issuance. Furthermore, there are other hurdles to overcome, i.e. the general elections in India and Indonesia and some weakening in credit fundamentals. With credit spreads only marginally wider than historical average, we see limited room for further tightening. All these factors will likely mean that total return for the market remains subpar, in the 2-3% range, coming mainly from carry as we expect negative mark-to-market on rising UST yields that can only be partially cushioned by tighter credit spreads. Rising UST yield would be a major headwind Our US rate strategy team expects UST yields to continue their upward march and expects the Fed to start tapering in January 2014. While the rehearsal in May and June of 2013 would probably mean that investors are more prepared for this eventuality, the market could remain choppy when Fed tapering starts. J.P. Morgan expects the 5-year UST yield to rise by 103bp from the current level to 2.4%, and 10-year by 88bp to 3.50%. This upward movement in UST yields would be a big headwind for the Asia credit market.
New issuance has been heavy and could remain so into 2014 as issuers try to lock in borrowing costs
US$ in billions
75
Heavy new supply could be another drag Another drag on the market could be new issuance, which we expect could remain heavy in 2014 as issuers try to lock in borrowing costs before benchmark rates continue to rise. Notwithstanding the turn in market sentiment during the summer months, Asia has seen the print of US$114bn of new supply (till November 9) and full-year supply is likely to exceed the US$116.5bn record set in 2012. For 2014, we have penciled in US$110bn of new supply, which would translate into US$49bn of net financing requirement after deducting coupon and bond redemptions. While the amount looks manageable as compared to US$74-78bn for 2012 and 2013, it could still cap upside for the market. One mitigating factor is that we have seen greater participation of Asia investors, ranging from commercial banks, insurance companies, real money accounts and private bank clients. This is reflected in new issuance allocation with Asia accounting for around two-thirds of new issues in 2013, up from less than 50% in 2009. This could remain a supporting factor, Credits have weakened but default rate to stay muted In our view, the credit cycle has turned south as indicated by the trailing 6-months cumulative rating upgrade and downgrade ratio. There are several stress points for Asia credits. One key risk is currency volatility, especially for current deficit countries such as Indian and Indonesia, both incidentally are having their general elections next year. Some sectors such as mining could also see some downward pressure. While we expect the down trend in the credit cycle could continue, we do not expect too many credits to fall off the cliff as we only expect a marginal increase in the HY default rate to 1.5% in 2014 from a 0.8% estimate for 2013. Valuations look reasonable but not cheap The rise in UST and widening in credit spreads has brought YTM for JACI back to 5.17% (as at November 9), pushing it above the historical average of 4.87% since January 2010. The current z-spread at 282bp is slightly wider than the historical average of 293bp. We expect some tightening in credit spreads for 2014 to cushion but not nullify rising UST yields. Staying near the front in IG and selective HY names The rising UST yields mean that we would rather stay at the front end of the credit curve, and would only selectively go into the long-end after hedging treasury risk. In IG corporate, we like Hutchison 6% perps, Tencent 19s and Venke 18s. For banks, we still like LT2 papers from Singapore. In HY, we like Agile 17s, Kaisa 17s, Shanshui Cement 17s, Anton 18s in China, and Star Energy 20s, Cikarang 19s, Indika 18s and Gajah Tunggal 18s in Indonesia.

We believe rates in EM Asia will move higher across the board in 2014, at a similar magnitude to the rise in yields seen in 2013. Higher US rates and a slowdown in foreign investment flows to EM bonds will continue to push Asian yields 50-100bp higher next year, in our view. In addition, we believe EM Asian inflation has bottomed and will resume a rising trend in early 2014, thus precluding the risk of any more policy easing. But growth and inflation will not be high enough for central banks to justify a region-wide round of rate hikes (exceptions are: India, Indonesia in 1Q14, and Korea in 4Q14). Bond issuance will be the same as this year, in our view, or even rise in several key markets, exacerbating the slowdown in foreign demand. We believe domestic investors will to some extent support government bond sells in a foreign outflow-driven sell off, but they will likely demand further price concessions before they do so. In Korea, we expect rates to continue rising at a modest pace in 2014 and mainly via yield curve steepening. Export-led growth is re-accelerating into the start of 2014, KTB issuance in gross terms is increasing next year (net supply is flat YoY), and we expect Korean bond yields will continue to trade with a beta of 0.50.75% to US treasuries. Still, we expect the short end of the Korean yield curve to outperform the region given Koreas high real interest rate (+2.5%) and continued currency outperformance. We are constructive risk-reward in Indian government bonds in 2014, at 10Y yields above 9%. We believe there are three potential upside scenarios next year: a strong government post the national elections that improves the investment climate, improved access for foreigners into government bonds, and a decline in inflation amid slow growth. The hurdle for bonds is that sub-optimal measures used to rein in the fiscal deficit this year will make fiscal management more challenging in 2014. This includes a significantly higher gross IGB
In Indonesia, we recommend a neutral duration stance to start 2014. On paper, the combination of Indonesias current account deficit, high inflation, and reliance on foreign bond buyers make it the most vulnerable in the region. But Indonesias new group of policy makers have already made strides this year towards addressing the underlying problems by raising policy rates (175bp YTD) and cutting fuel subsidies (by 1/3rd) to slow growth and fuel imports. INDOGBs will face further adjustment for next year, but yields have already risen 300bp in 2013 and fuel price hike-driven headline inflation is beginning to roll over. Therefore, the bulk of the move on duration may be behind us, and would focus more on the risk of relatively more FX weakening for adjustment in the balance of payments and greater apparent willingness of the authorities to allow for a liquid and functional currency market.
77
In Malaysia, we once again recommend an underweight in MGS for 2014. The market faces similar headwinds as in 2013, namely Malaysias low level of yields (at 3.73% the lowest in GBI-EM), reliance on inflows (foreign ownership is 42%), and a declining current account surplus (we are also negative on the currency). Added to this, inflation in 2014E has now risen to 2.6% (with further upside risk), on the back of fuel subsidy reductions, thus cutting Malaysian real policy rates to 0.4%. Foreigners have purchased an average MYR30 billion of Malaysian bonds every year for three years from 2010-2012, accounting for roughly 150% of net issuance of MGS, but YTD figures in 2013 show net selling. We expect foreigners will continue to shun MGS next year, putting the onus back on domestic real-money to absorb government issuance. Locals are well capitalized and able to buy, but need price concessions before entering.

The beginning of Fed Tapering will be a critical, but not the sole factor driving Asian currency returns in 2014. Next year will likely see pockets of reasonably resilient performance in the Asian FX world. The resumption of Fed tapering should drive an average 5% depreciation where it is the most relevant in IDR, MYR, and THB. Outside of these bond driven currencies, Asian FX look relatively resilient in 2014, with limited bond exposure, current account and FX reserve buffers, and a range-bound DXY view limiting the impact of tapering. In fact, we expect a cyclical lift and a continued return of equity investors to drive modest appreciation averaging 0-2% for CNY, KRW, TWD, SGD, INR, PHP. In other words, the next year should see idiosyncratic and relative value opportunities much as 2013 has. Currencies with the highest dependency on bond inflows for their BoP balance are most vulnerable. IDR and MYR top the list. In both, historical inflows because of reach-for-yield (IDR) and high carry-to-vol (MYR) lead to high foreign ownership of local bonds (33% in Indonesia and 42% in Malaysia), which in turn funded fiscal and BoP balances. Both economies had to make policy shifts in 2013 to adapt to the new post-QE external equilibrium conditions, but we argue that these responses remain insufficient. The current account in IDR will only narrow 0.2% of GDP to -3.4% next year, and MYRs surplus will dwindle further to 0.6% of GDP against continued structural outflows, in our view. Therefore both currencies remain susceptible to taperings impact on investment flows. The outcome in INR is binary for next year, but we are biased for better performance compared to 2013. Central government elections in 2Q14 and the resulting actions from rating agencies will have a large impact on India risk. The bullish case is for a strong government post the election which could improve the investment climate thereby improving BoP funding. India will also have a narrowing current account deficit funding requirement next year (USD55bn FY2014 vs 88bn 2013). The bearish alternative is an adverse political outcome which puts fiscal consolidation in jeopardy, and which would risk a rating downgrade to junk thus renewing stress on INR. Independent of these risks, we expect the RBI under Dr Rajan will continue to create solutions to attract capital flows.
North Asia has greater potential for upside from growth and equity inflows, compared to ASEAN. North Asian currencies are more driven by foreign equity flows than bond flows compared to ASEAN (ex SG) where bond flows dominate by a factor of 4:1 compared to 1:1.5 bond/equity inflow ratio in the North (KR + TW). North Asia has also kept a high beta to final manufactured goods demand compared to ASEAN where domestic policy drives the growth cycle and exports are dominated by global infrastructure commodities demand. The top Asian currency outperformers in 2014 will be KRW and SGD. In 2014, we expect KRW bond flows will remain flat even as the Fed tapers, while equity investors will continue to increase allocations in Korea. Corporate inflows from Koreas large trade surplus will put more downward pressure on USDKRW, and there remains a considerable overhang of earlier corporate dollar hoarding. As in 2013, BOK smoothing will likely determine the pace of KRW performance but ultimately not the direction. For ASEAN, SGD shares the best characteristics with North Asia with a large and resilient current account surplus, high-beta to global growth, and relatively high foreign equity vs bond flow exposure. However, versus the USD, SGD performance is complicated by the fact that other more vulnerable ASEAN currencies (and JPY) together represent 33% of the S$NEER policy basket. CNY is set for another year of stable returns from attractive carry, although ongoing evolution in the FX regime may erode carry-to-vol. Chinese growth will structurally slow in 2014 but exports will remain well supported and the outlook remains dominated by the trend towards exchange rate flexibility and interest rate liberalization. Rising domestic funding costs will encourage Chinese corporates to execute carry trades via borrowing in USD to fund onshore CNY assets. Our Dec14 forecast for CNY is 6.00.

Australia
Micro-level investment case Australia appears to be in the sweet spot of a liquiditydriven rally given its high-yield status, but has recovered only a fraction of its sharp underperformance in the midyear tapering correction. We think that the absence of a credible earnings growth story for the big cap sectors is weighing on the index as low rates push multiples into uncomfortable territory. The bull case has this P/E expansion being a down payment on an earnings upgrade cycle, but we cant see the macro or micro support for this. Earnings for most sectors are not at cyclically low levels and industry structure support for margins cant get much better in most cases, in our view. Resilience of the growth outlook Consensus forecasts imply around 12% EPS growth for Aussie stocks in FY14 on a cap-weighted basis (median stock 9%). We think this is optimistic, but to no greater an extent than earnings forecasts usually are. We would be more concerned if a few green shoots in macro data led to forecasts being upgraded, but we expect a weak job market to have the final say and expect no better than sluggish growth from the local economy. Drivers, trends, and datapoints we are tracking The macro outlook is a tussle between localized hotspots of activity, notably housing turnover and starts, and a broader picture of hiring conservatism and tepid credit growth. If jobs and lending figures continue to struggle we will be more confident in our skepticism on the recovery story; if they turn better we will likely rethink. Micro data from companies has been mostly supportive to our view, with a number saying recently that they see no signs of improved activity. Key stock picks Our view also calls for AUD weakness to resume as optimism on local growth ebbs. This tilt is reflected in three of our top picks Resmed, Brambles and Sims. The latter two also offer exposure to any improvement in developed world growth. CCL is a contrarian investment case arguing that concerns on structural market change are overdone. Crown has an EM growth angle via Macau and the secular rise in Asian consumer spending power. The avoid list includes Fletcher Building, which is a case of valuation getting ahead of recovery prospects, ALS which is vulnerable to a still-weakening commodity capex cycle; and Cochlear, a story of pressure on growth expectations combined with a high rating.

Micro-level investment case Our base case for 2014 is no major structural reforms and thus no market rerating. Hopefully the return will be better than this years unchanged index. In 2013 sector dispersion was high; IT (internet) outperformed materials by 70%. We believe this alpha, not beta environment will continue. Stay OW internet, select consumer staples and policy beneficiaries. The sectors with policy support are healthcare, insurance (medical), railway/construction and utilities due pollution control (clean(er) energy gas utilities and waste water treatment). Risks include tighter regulations on banks and higher inflation. These risks are why we are underweight on banks, materials, coal and telecoms. We are neutral on consumer discretionary and real estate. Resilience of the growth outlook MSCI Chinas 2014 EPS growth forecast is 9%. Our 7.4% 2014 GDP growth forecast assumes supportive policies. Policy priorities include information consumption (State Council target of US$0.5trillion by 2015). E-commerce grew +45%oya in 1H13. Social welfare policies include shanty town redevelopment. It is policy support that makes us confidence in earnings for healthcare, insurance, mid-to-low-end consumption (but there is a risk from slower wage growth and higher CPI), environmental protection and clean energy. Confidence in bank earnings forecasts is low due to asset quality concerns, NIM/ROE compression and regulatory risk on WMP and interbank business. Drivers, trends, and datapoints we are tracking Despite talk of reform, debt to GDP (>200%) and investment to GDP (56%) increased in 2013. The PBoC is hinting at a decline in leverage, this would be a significant change. We are into month 19 of PPI deflation. Capacity rationalization is necessary to address pricing power. Deleveraging and capacity rationalization are potential threats to growth. J.P. Morgan forecasts CPI to increase to 3.5%oya in 2014. This plus housing inflation will constrain monetary policy. Pollution is a serious public health problem. Significant steps to control pollution would impact energy and car use. Key stock picks Our top picks are Fosun Pharm (leading co with mixed business operations), Ping An Insurance (best agent channel and strong growth prospects from healthcare insurance), Tencent (mobile social platform monetization), Xinyi Glass (a diversified low-cost glass producer) and Brilliance China (strong SUV sale and premium story).

SHCOMP Absolute View SHCOMPs rangebound existence remains firmly in place and the index continues to have a bearish bias. 1950-2000 are absolutely critical levels on the downside. Relative View (MSCI China vs. MXAPJ) MXCN relative index has also been range bound for well over two years and is currently showing a modest rebound. We have had and retain a bearish bias on SHCOMP within its near two-year trading range. A break below 1950-2000 will risk substantially deeper pullbacks. On a relative basis, the trading range existence also continues but we would be hesitant to trade against the broad bearish trend.

Hong Kong
Micro-level investment case Challenges ahead.The Hong Kong market is likely to be overshadowed in 2014 by investment issues such as: 1) how fast the US economy is recovering; 2) potential rate rises in the US; 3) further contraction of hot money inflow into Hong Kong; 4) further slowdown in Hong Kong retail sales; 5) negative wealth effect from the potential fall in residential property prices. The macro support from a continuation of the low interest rate environment is something the market will be reluctant to count on. On the other hand, the valuation matrix of the MSCI Hong Kong does not look particularly attractive. Buying "beta" is surely not the way to go. Selective alpha may still offer potential upside for investors but we expect the market upside to be subdued. Resilience of the growth outlook Safest growth from outside Hong Kong.. It is hard to find genuine earnings growth from "domestic" Hong Kong names: we estimate the banks, property and utilities sectors to see 0.5%, 8% and 3.6% earnings growth in 2014 respectively. We believe growth will be more resilient if generated from outside Hong Kong. We see high earnings risk for the property sector in 2014 with correction of property prices expected. There are also clear signs that the momentum of Hong Kong retail sales is slowing despite healthy tourist arrival growth. We believe this is likely to cause a chained slowdown in the Hong Kong economy if trade cannot recover quickly enough to offset this. Drivers, trends, and datapoints we are tracking The pace of the property price correction and the slowdown in local retail sales are the key data to watch in 2014. While US interest rates are expected to rise, we do not think this will present too much of a surprise to the market. Moreover, the gaming revenue growth in Macau is a good proxy for the pace of hot money inflow into Hong Kong. Key stock picks Given our cautious view on the Hong Kong market, of our five top picks, four (HSBC, AIA, Sands China and Techtronics) are driven by their expected resilience in earnings, while Sa Sa is expected to do well even if consumption slows given its quasi-staple nature.

HSI Absolute View Similar to many Asian indices, HSI lacks direction and needs a clear breakout of the current congestion zone to establish directional trades. Resistance at 23512; 23945 needs to be cleared for fresh long positions. Relative View (MSCI HK vs. MXAPJ) HK Relative index is supported at the bottom end of two-year-old outperformance up-channel as well as on its 40wma. We expect outperformance to resume protect relative positions with 325 stop (current 330). While HISs absolute positioning is stuck in a range, much like MXAPJ, recent moves have opened up downside risks. We do, however, expect MSCI HK to resume its outperformance after a nearly three-month underperformance.
93
India
Micro-level investment case We expect domestic growth, inflation and fiscal dynamics to remain challenging over 1H 2014. Exports will likely benefit from global revival and consumption could benefit marginally from agri sector growth. But the investment cycle will likely remain constrained. Inflation is expected to remain elevated. There seems to be a notable shift in policy focus from WPI to CPI. Our economics team expects another 25bp hike in the benchmark interest rate over 1Q CY14. The dependence on global liquidity and QE tapering linked volatility will likely continue over 1Q CY14. The result of the national election in May would play an important role in 2H CY growth revival, particularly for the investment cycle and also for the performance of Indian equities. Resilience of the growth outlook After three years of consistent downward trajectory, GDP growth and earnings growth are expected to recover over FY15. The pace of growth recovery will be influenced by the new governments policy priorities, particularly their ability to revive the investment cycle. Our economics team expects GDP growth to accelerate from 4.1% to 5.0% over FY 15. Our analyst team expects earnings growth momentum to accelerate over the coming fiscal year, from 10% to 16% oya for MSCI India companies. Drivers, trends, and datapoints we are tracking We believe the key indicator to focus on would be the revival in private sectors capex cycle. Else, Indias growth could remain range bound and inhibit market valuations. Separately, the governments ability to push important fiscal reforms viz. Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Direct Taxes Code (DTC) would also have an important bearing on investor sentiment. Key stock picks Our top picks have a cyclical bias. ICICI Bank and DLF are domestic cyclical expected to benefit from a revival in growth and modest valuations. We also expect global growth to accelerate into the year ahead. Tata Motors, Tata Steel and HCL Tech should benefit from the acceleration in global growth. Cyclical recovery makes us more cautious on expensive defensives Hindustan Uniliver and Colgate.

NIFTY Absolute View Niftys remarkably strong rally, despite a weak macro backdrop, appears to have come to an end for now and we see the 6357 (Jan 2008) top as a difficult one to break out of. Technicals recommend short positions on the Nifty. Relative View (MSCI India vs. MXAPJ) A post summer outperformance within a broader downtrend has ended and MSCI India relative index is expected to resume under-performance. A bearish INR outlook adds to an under-performance view, based on technicals. Indian indices and currency have delivered a solid performance in recent months despite challenging fundamentals. We see downside as well as underperformance risks in the short term.
95
Indonesia
Micro-level investment case After an extended period of growth, Indonesia is entering a phase of macroeconomic adjustment. Policy makers are trying to cool the economy through tightening. The wide current account deficit means that growth needs to decelerate further. The CA funding gap biases us against expecting the Rupiah to strengthen meaningfully in FY14E. This does not paint an attractive risk reward profile for equities going into an election year. On the positive side however, we think the quality of policymaking has improved recently, and light investor positioning means that expectations are not demanding. Resilience of the growth outlook Real GDP growth has slowed from 6.5%, and our economics team expects it to slow further to 5.2% next year. Notably though, Indonesian growth has proven resilient, with GDP having grown by more than 4% for the last 45 quarters. Election related spending could help support domestic demand in FY14E. We expect policy action to be tolerant of an easing in growth rates next year. Drivers, trends, and data points we are tracking Ultimately the currency and the current account are variables we are watching, along with monetary conditions. We believe Fx reserves will determine the currency and are well correlated to Portfolio flows and the trade balance (released monthly). In addition high frequency data including 2 & 4 wheeler sales, and cement demand and will help us calibrate the slowing of demand and provide cues on policy direction. Finally we are tracking banking sector liquidity. Key stock picks Our top picks include contrarian stances on UNTR, where we think risk-reward supports positioning for a cyclical recovery, and ANTM, available at close to book value and exposed to a European recovery. We like PT Telkom, less as a defensive and more because we see industry competitive dynamics moving favorably, resulting in positive revisions. We think the affluent consumer will remain resilient and pick MSKY. Strong growth is a thread that links INDF. On the avoid side, we see UNVR as an expensive defensive. We have concerns on profitability and capex needs at ISAT and have a contrarian negative thesis on Indonesian Banks.

Ticker: ISAT IJ, Price: Rp3,750, PT: Rp3,820 Investment thesis: ISAT trades at >50% FY13E PE premium to regional peers. We think this multiple is unjustified in the context of poor capital return profile (14E ROE 6.6%, lowest in ASEAN) and business fundamentals, as we think data unit pricing will decline. Drivers/catalysts: 1) data unit pricing, 2) any gain/ loss in market share as competition is very high, 3) capex development. Valuation and risks: Jun-14 PT based on sum of potential upside/ (downside) to consensus EPS vs. JPM EPS estimates and estimated multiple expansion/ (contraction) based on peak P/E of 16x. Risks include: lower competitive intensity driving data pricing higher, potential increase in dividend payout and consolidation in industry.
JCI Absolute View JCIs glass ceiling for 4575 has held on as a resistance for now with primary trend classified as bearish. A rally attempt after the summer has fizzled out and lacked momentum in the first place. We remain bearish. Relative View (MSCI Indonesia vs. MXAPJ) MSCI Indonesias relative index, currently 93.6, has substantial under-performance risk below 90. While we would remain underweight, we believe 90 will be an important support level in the short term. Along with India, Indonesia has perhaps the most challenging technicals. We see rallies as selling opportunities and opportunities to reduce weightings.
97
Malaysia
Micro-level investment case Subsidy reduction is a key theme given the governments need for fiscal prudence and sustaining domestic-led growth. Tenaga is the biggest beneficiary, in our view. Petronas M$300B capex is much needed to support government revenues and domestic growth, favourable for oil and gas service providers. M$160B rail-related infrastructure spending is positive for construction over the medium term. Consensus UW on plantations could reverse, on successful Indo biofuel mandate execution. Visit Malaysia 2014 supports higher tourist arrivals benefitting airlines and airports (MAHB). We prefer the latter. We expect the glove/timber sectors to track US/EU/Japan recovery. We are most negative on expensive defensives such as telcos, and cautious on developers/consumer-led banks due to property-demand cooling measures and moderating consumption growth. Resilience of the growth outlook We forecast 2014 earnings growth of 10% (2013E: -1%). Earnings confidence in oil and gas, construction /infrastructure, utilities, REITs, and gaming (domestic). Expect beats from capex-led sectors (particularly oil & gas) and plantation (low expectations). Lower earnings certainty for consumption-led sectors from subsidy reductions, especially consumer-led banks. Expect negative surprises from property earnings on higher RPGT, especially Iskandar-centric developers. Potential negative surprise from externally-led shipping /petrochemicals/aviation sectors. Drivers, trends, and datapoints we are tracking Accelerating oil and gas project awards, averaging M$60B p.a. vs M$45.6B in 2012. Expect moderating private consumption growth; in addition we track retail sales data, and property transactions. Sustained private investments growth (2014E: +15%). For external sector green shoots, we track CPO price/supply trends, and new housing starts in Japan. Tracking tourist arrival/passenger growth for Visit Malaysia 2014-led growth. Key stock picks Tenaga: biggest beneficiary of subsidy reductions on potential tariff adjustment. SAKP: Best proxy to Petronas capex spending. Gamuda: best proxy to railway-related infrastructure spending. Top Glove: defensive healthcare demand, amidst US/EU growth recovery. Genting Plantations: volumes doubling, CPO price hike an added bonus. Stocks to avoid include Maxis, an expensive defensive with little growth. Avoid UEM Sunrise, on increased competition in Iskandar Malaysia amidst property-demand cooling measures.

KLCI Absolute View 1827 glass ceiling has been a tough one for the KLCI to penetrate and the Malaysian index is in retreat mode after delivering bearish RSI divergence. Look for initial support around 1750, although protecting 1660-1700 will be crucial to remaining constructive. Relative View (MSCI Malaysia vs. MXAPJ) MSCI Malaysia has unwound all of its post-election outperformance with the relative index delicately poised on important support levels. Continuation of under-performance is a high risk. Post election rally and outperformance appears over for now and we will look for downside breaks to recommend shorts. Relative positions should likely be neutralized with an under-performance bias.
99
Philippines
Micro-level investment case The Philippines is one of the few economies in EM growing above potential. Domestic demand is robust. BoP position is strong, making the Philippines more defensive in an EM bond bear market. We are confident about domestic growth companies, financials, property, consumer, and infrastructure. The gaming sector is developing fast. But high valuations reflect these strong fundamentals. We downgrade the Philippines to Neutral. This is in-line with the global EM view that high growth premiums are vulnerable as global growth accelerates. Typhoon Haiyan is a humanitarian disaster. It will disrupt economic activity but is expected to provide a boost post reconstruction/rebuilding efforts. Resilience of the growth outlook We forecast 2014 real GDP growth to slow from 7% in 2013 to 5.6%, one of the highest in the region. However, 2014E EPS growth of 12% is below EMs 15%. Consumer EPS should continue growing at the +20% level but the drag is coming from a lackluster Utilities growth and our expectation of a drop in banks earnings due to higher bond yields. Otherwise, core banking earnings (pre-trading gains) should be robust given the macro backdrop and domestic liquidity situation. Drivers, trends, and datapoints we are tracking We are watching investments flows/growth from both government and private, which we think is crucial to keep the growth momentum intact. Other key data we are watching closely include bond yields, PPP project rollout and execution, government spending, inflation, OFW remittances, loan growth, property sales, car sales, and SSSG trend of retailers. Key stock picks Our top picks include Puregold which we like for its quality and momentum of earnings growth amid ample structural growth opportunities. We like Ayala Land and Ayala Corp for their high leverage to the robust economic growth; Ayala Land is also best positioned to take advantage of the excess domestic liquidity which we expect to drive consumer loans growth. We like MPI because of its portfolio of quality assets and compelling valuation. We are UW on Aboitiz Power due to downside earnings risk.

PCOMP Absolute View 6600 defined PCOMPs glass ceiling", and with a 40wma resistance as well as underside of two-year uptrend-line, we see PCOMP sitting in a primary downtrend, in sync with ASEAN peers. Relative View (MSCI Philippines vs. MXAPJ) MSCI Philippines relative index post summer rally is over and under-performance is back in place. Technicals recommend underweight positions. Most ASEAN countries benefit from perennial optimism the Philippines is no different. While the long-term structural argument looks solid, charts suggest bearish absolute and relative outlook.
101
Singapore
Micro-level investment case Singapore is in the midst of a structural transformation from an input-driven economy towards a productivitydriven economy. This transformation is having a significant impact on economic growth rates, inflation, the currency, and the overall structure of the economy. Based on our previous research on the impact on growth rates from immigration reform, productivity, as well as industry cost structures, we believe Singapores inability to continue to rely on immigration flows for growth will present a significant retraining/development challenge. This in turn could create an extended drag on the economy. Resilience of the growth outlook While we are expecting a modest rebound in FY14 GDP growth expectations, this is also relative to significantly lower expectations since the start of 2013, with the Street revising FY13E GDP growth seven times from 3.8% to 2.7%. On a longer-term basis, we believe structural growth trends for Singapore will moderate going forward with tepid productivity gains unable to offset the slowdown in foreign labor flows. We expect long-term GDP growth to moderate from a 10-year historical CAGR of 6.2% to 4.1%, in line with the governments projections of 3-5% p.a. Drivers, trends, and datapoints we are tracking We would closely track the magnitude and direction of macro forecast errors, as seen through our JPM Macro Error Index. We would also track key output-related indicators (e.g. GDP, PMI, Electronics indexes) in assessing the strength of the recovery. On Singapores labor transformation efforts, we would remain focused on labor productivity trends and wage pressure trends (either through core inflation or from read-throughs via corporate earnings). As we believe investor positioning will entail a cyclical bias, we would also keep an eye on major cyclical-related indices such as the BDI and aviation-related datapoints (load factors, pricing trends). Key stock picks We believe this marks the inflection point to position with a cyclical bias given improving economic fundamentals. Common themes within our top picks are names that are sector leaders in either product differentiation/cost efficiency (KEP SP, EZI SP), and names positioned to capitalize on structural industry upcycles (JCNC SP, GGR SP).

Investment thesis: IndoAgri reported an FY13 production FFB/CPO decline, and we dont see any catalysts for a sharp recovery in FY14. Net gearing has risen 3.5x from c.12% in 1Q12 to c.42% in 3Q13, presenting earnings risks given a rising IR environment. Drivers/catalysts: Guided 5% Y/Y decline in FY13E FFB production after the 5%/12% drop in FFB/CPO production in 9M13. Management also expects interest rates to rise further after a Q/Q rise of 150% in 3Q13. Valuation and risks: Our Dec-14 PT is based on SOTP, comprising IndoAgris 72% stake in SIMP, net cash, and applying a 5% holding company discount. Key upside risks to our PT include a strong recovery in CPO prices, and growth via synergistic M&As.
STI Absolute View STI is in a sideways range but appears to be in distribution mode; hence our bear bias on Singapore. 2990 is an important support level, which if broken, will accelerate downside. Relative View (MSCI Singapore vs. MXAPJ) After unwinding its 1H13 outperformance in 2H13, MSCI Singapores relative index is bouncing off oversold levels and has clawed back its four-year-old outperformance uptrend-line. Restoring our outperformance call. While absolute positioning looks unattractive and appears to be in distribution mode, relative index has clawed back an important uptrend-line we expect outperformance.
103
South Korea
Micro-level investment case We are selective buyers of Korean equity in 2014, preferring DM growth beneficiaries as well as domestic housing market recovery plays. Our economic research team expects the Korean economy to recover modestly in 2014 from a subpar growth in 2013 (GDP growth of 3.7% in 2014E vs. 2.7% in 2013E). Of note, our economic research teams base case scenario for 2014 economic outlook is based on the combination of: 1) strong export growth only from limited segments such as tech, auto, and shipbuilding, and 2) a mild pick-up in domestic consumption without assuming a meaningful housing market recovery. However, our bottom-up analysis for Korea economy suggests that the risk is on the upside for domestic consumption in 2014. We are more positive on the domestic housing market dynamics in 2014, based on the view that the housing market has been on a gradual recovery trajectory from 2H13 and a pick-up in housing prices would have positive spill-over effects for domestic consumption and retail investment sentiment of the Korean equity markets. Resilience of the growth outlook We forecast KRW to appreciate gradually in 2014 toward USD/KRW 1,050 (year-avg.) from 1,090 in 2013. We believe KRW appreciation will have a limited effect on key export segments such as tech, auto and shipbuilding. However, once KRW appreciation accelerates beyond our estimates, our earnings forecasts for exporters are likely to be at risk of significant downward revisions. Eased (relatively) regulatory intervention amidst benign inflationary pressure should improve operational visibility of the domestic companies for 2014. Finally, while we officially forecast no BOK rate change in 2014, a rate rise/cut in 2H14E may add to EPS upside/ downside of Korea financials. Drivers, trends, and datapoints we are tracking We advise investors to track monthly data sets for domestic housing price and transaction volume as key datapoints for capturing changes of domestic consumption dynamics in 2014. Key stock picks Our top Korean picks for 2014 are Hyundai Motor, SK Hynix, Naver, CJ O Shopping, and KB Financial Group. Our top avoids are CJ Cheiljedang, Samsung Engineering, and Hanjin Shipping.

Taiwan
Micro-level investment case We expect a continuation of 2H13 trends. Upstream tech, life insurance and selective non-tech global demand play are likely to lead the market we think. Apple production shift and an end to a reduction in inventories by year end should support semiconductors. Life insurance is correlated to rising long bond yields (for every 50bp chg, EV increases 25% in Taiwan vs. 10% in China and Korea). We also favor selective non-tech export-resort sectors, which are geographically diverse with scale and long track records, e.g., textile, contact lenses, and bicycles. Regulatory and political catalysts are limited. Trade in Service Agreement with China, signed at endJun, is still under revision by the legislative entities in Taiwan. Our base case is no agreement until 2H14-1H15. Resilience of the growth outlook We believe that the resilience of non-tech global companies earnings is underappreciated. This is a function of a dominant market position, combined with geographically diversified manufacturing and markets for textile, contact lens, and bicycle companies. The outlook for the tech sector is split. The visibility for semiconductor profits is higher than for downstream. Taiwan financials are relatively unique in their direct correlation with higher US bond yields. Drivers, trends, and datapoints we are tracking J. P. Morgan forecasts 3.1%oya Taiwan 2014 GDP growth. 1) The export environment: PMI Index Taiwan (>50), China (>51) and the US (>55~56): US and China as drivers of exports. Global end demand Retail US >5%oya ad China >15%oya. Tech inventory - We forecast a normalization in upstream techs inventory. 2) Domestic monetary conditions We expect the CBC will be on hold in 1H14. There is a low possibility of higher policy rates in 2H14. Taiwan long rates are 0.5x correlated to US bond yields. Our forecast is for US 10year yield of 3.5% by end 2014. Key stock picks Our top picks are in semiconductors (TSMC and ASE), life insurance (Cathay), textiles (Makalot) and automation (Hiwin). We believe downstream assemblers face significant order reshuffling, shrinking margins and marginalizing weaker players. Post the 4G spectrum auction, mobile competition is forecast to increase. The stocks we would avoid are Far EasTone, the telecom provider, Cheng Shin Rubber from materials, and Pegatron, the component supplier.

TWSE Absolute View TWSE is currently in retreat from its glass ceiling of 8439, although the broad trend (in up-channel for over a year and above 40wma) remains constructive. While the very-near-term outlook suggests weakness, we see strong support around 8100-8190. Relative View (MSCI Taiwan vs. MXAPJ) After a solid 1H outperformance, MSCI Taiwan relative index has retreated into a bearish/ sideways range and is currently poised on important support levels. On an absolute basis, we see merit in remaining long the TWSE with a medium-term view although need better conviction to own Taiwan on a relative basis.

Thailand
Micro-level investment case We continue to believe Thailands growth will shift from consumption to investments. Private investments as well as public investments will be the key drivers of GDP growth for the country in the short-term and long-term. This is after multi-years of strong consumption growth driving higher household leverage. Private investments are expected to be in areas of exports as well as construction and building materials. Public investments are planned to be relating to infrastructure including mass transportations and railway. Overall, growth has normalized (i.e. slow) but things remain healthy on both public and private sides (banking sector and corporate balance sheets). Resilience of the growth outlook Overall earnings revision trend has been negative. However, we believe expectations have been readjusted. We currently forecast 10% EPS growth for 2014. This is based on 3% GDP growth forecasts for next year. Areas where we believe growth will be resilient are banks, constructions, and building materials. Areas where we believe there could be more downside to earnings are retail, real estate, and telecommunications. Drivers, trends, and datapoints we are tracking Key data to watch will include loan growth, car sales, property sales, inflation, exports, and public spending. We expect a slowdown in loan growth - slowdown in auto HP growth will likely be offset by an acceleration in mortgage demand. We believe car sales will be more resilient than market expectations. However, this will be at the expense of declining used car market, a structural change. We believe growth in property sales will slow from last year given the increase in supply, tighter bank credit, and still-soft consumer confidence. So far there has been limited passthrough impact from minimum wage hike to inflation. The central bank continues to focus on inflation when managing monetary policy. Progress on public investments is also a key for GDP growth momentum. Key stock picks Key theme that we see is winners get stronger in each of the sector given their stronger competitiveness over peers. Hence, we like KBANK and SCB among banks and BEC in media. We also like TUF on earnings recovery and SCC on strong material demand.

Ticker: KBANK TB, Price: Bt183, PT: Bt240 Investment thesis: KBANK continues to lead the sector in revenue growth & ROE. The bank has added 2pt of Tier 1 capital ratio over the past two years. This should lead to market share. Strong profitability should be enough to accommodate higher level of provision. Drivers/catalysts: Acceleration in mortgage demand & rising corp activities in capital market are key catalysts. Strong deposit franchise should lead to better NIM. Valuation and risks: Our Dec-14 PT is based on DDM (ROE 20.6%, COE 12.8%, growth 8.0%). Key risks: 1) fiercer-than-expected competition in SME; 2) slowerthan-expected consumer loan & non-NII growth; and 4) higher-than-expected opex from K-Transformation.

Ticker: DTAC TB, Price: Bt112, PT: Bt90 Investment thesis: Competition in the Thai telco market has increased with operators starting to offer increasingly more free usage and higher commissions to distributors. This, we believe, will lead to higher marketing expenses and earnings misses. Drivers/catalysts: Weaker-than-expected ARPU and below-consensus profit margin are key catalysts. Valuation and risks: Our Dec-14 PT is based on the sum of potential upside/(downside) to consensus EPS vs. JPM EPS estimates, and estimated multiple expansion /(contraction) based on peak P/E multiple. Risks include higher-than-expected customer migration to the new network and an increase in dividend payout.
SET Absolute View Failure to break out above its 40wma puts the SET at risk of now breaking down below 1380 (initial support) and slipping into a deeper downtrend. While a breakout above 1485-1500 can revive a positive view, indicator position is bearish. Relative View (MSCI Thailand vs. MXAPJ) MSCI Thailands sharp under-performance since Apr13 is solidly in place. A bounce post summer from oversold levels appears over and we expect Thailands underperformance to resume. Thailand, similar to other ASEAN countries, retains the risk of absolute downside and under-performance.

Asia Autos
Micro-level investment case Our preferences in Asia Autos space are Japan, China and Korea. Japan and China are expected to lead earnings growth in 2014. Thanks to income growth, sustained property price and replacement demand, we estimate China PV sales to grow 9%yoy in 2014. We prefer SUVs and OEMs over dealers/parts in China. Japan's performance will be driven by JPY movement and the developed market. Korea presents one of the best buying opportunities given its meaningful earnings rebound and model cycle especially for Hyundai Motor. We are bearish on domestic India market overall and the opportunity comes from companys overseas growthfor instance, Tata Motors exposure through Jaguar Land Rover. Indonesias Astra International should benefit from Toyotas aggressive model launches but we are mindful of intense competition. Resilience of the growth outlook In China, SUV and consumption upgrade (to bigger or premium cars, kicking in from ~2014) are two structural and secular trends we expect will persist in the next 3-4 years. Korea and Japan are dominated by developed markets where we are bullish on the US and turning constructive on the EU market. Drivers, trends, and datapoints we are tracking Auto penetration rate, fleet and sales across the region; weekly and monthly sales momentum; dealers price discounts and inventory; capacity and production level, consumption power and currency trends. Key stock picks Our top picks in Asia Auto sector are Brilliance China, Geely and Guangzhou Auto in China, Hyundai Motor in Korea and Tata Motors in India. We are more cautious on DongFeng Motor in China and Maruti Suzuki in India.

Ticker: 1114 HK, Price: HKD13.8, PT: HK$20 Investment thesis: 1) We believe Brilliances BMW volume will grow by 40% in 2014 thanks to 3-series and completion of capacity expansion in Oct-13. 2) R&D investment in Brilliance's new energy car business could be much lower in 2014- same for loss in its mini-bus business. Drivers/catalysts: 1) Customers start to see entrylevel models of premium brands (e.g. BMW, Audi) and a shift favoring premium product is inevitable. 2) We expect Brilliances BMW X1 to grow at 30% in 2014 while localization of BMW X3, likely in (2H) 2016, will be a major LT boost to bottom line. Valuation and risks: Dec14 PT based on 0.7x PEG or equivalent to 17x 2014 PER, high end of the stocks historical trading band. Risks: worst than expected sales from BMW JV and sharper-thanexpected price cut in Chinas auto market.

Consumer
Micro-level investment case In China, we believe discretionary SSSG has bottomed out; however, there is no sign of strong recovery yet. Separately there are structural challenges threatening margins. Therefore, we focus on discretionary segments immune from structural pressures and some select staples. Headline consumption is normalizing in Thailand with performance differentiated at the subsector level. We prefer to be selective. In Korea, with housing price recovery, we are more confident on discretionary names. In India, we believe 1H is too early too see a strong recovery in consumption. Resilience of the growth outlook With momentum in the economy likely to fade away in 2014 (as per our China economists) and given over capacity in retail and structural challenges in some subsectors, we do not believe discretionary top line and EPS growth outlook is resilient in China. We are likely to see further normalization in margins. In Korea, though, the recovery is gradual and we are seeing slightly better macro data in local consumption, property prices and there are less structural challenges for discretionary names. In Thailand and Philippines long term structural drivers (demographic support, urbanization trends, provincial growth and low penetration levels of modern trade) are in place, though in Thailand headline consumption is normalizing in select segments in the short term. Drivers, trends, and datapoints we are tracking We are following urban and rural incomes, shifts in consumption patterns, property prices, changes in distribution channels, product prices, promotion levels, SSSG, competitive pressures, cost pressures as well as consumer confidence. Key stock picks Our top picks are China Mengniu (product mix driving margins, benefitting from consolidation in IMF segment), CTF (immune from structural pressures in China discretionary), CJO Shopping (play on Korea discretionary), CPALL (leading CVS operator in Thailand, selling pressure due to acquisition over done), Puregold (strong earnings momentum in Philippines). We avoid Belle (margins under pressure due to pricing pressure), CJ Cheiljedang (lack of lysine price rebound), Colgate (severe competitive pressure).

Ticker: 2319 HK, Price: HK$33, PT: HK$38.1 Investment thesis: Mengniu is well positioned to gain market share in the dairy sector (fastest growth in staples space) and drive margin expansion through product mix. Drivers/catalysts: While 2H13 earnings will likely be impacted from raw milk cost increases, we would use this as a buying opportunity as long term drivers are intact. We expect 15%/36% earnings growth for FY13/FY14. Valuation and risks: Jun14 PT is HK$38.1, based on 27x 1-yr forward PE (pegged to historical mean). Key risks are shortage of raw milk supply in China and slower momentum in high-end products.

Regional Gaming
Micro-level investment case We are positive on Macau gaming names as a structural growth story on a favorable supply-demand dynamics, undemanding valuation with a 4-5% dividend yield as price support. Malaysia market offers a steady growth and revenue environment. We are relatively more cautious on Genting Singapore as we see risk of valuation multiple de-rating as growth slows and Genting Berhad because of Singapore drag. Resilience of the growth outlook We see revenue trend to diverge: Macau: After the two major infrastructure improvements in 2013 and increased supply of hotel rooms, Macau mass market segment should continue to stay strong at 28% for 2014. We expect VIP to grow at a slower pace at 11% tracking the nominal China GDP growth. Overall, we expect a 16% headline growth for the market in 2014. We are at the high end of the Street's estimate. Singapore: We expect 11% revenue growth with downside risk as we believe that the political pressure and mounting bad debt risk of the operators may limit growth. Malaysia should continue to see a steady trend growth of 3-5% as in the past. Drivers, trends, and datapoints we are tracking Macau gaming revenue is tracking a 16% growth for 2013 with yoy growth rate accelerated in 2H13 to around 20%. Adjusted for luck, Singapore market yoy growth decelerated from 20% yoy in 1Q to -9% in 4Q as a result of slowing VIP revenue, based on our estimates. Key stock picks We like Sands China (1928.HK) for its strong mass market exposure with a steady dividend stream of 4%. The continued ramp up of its newly opened and still under-utilized facilities of Sands Cotai Central could bring upside earning surprise in 2014, in our view. MGM (27.HK) for its steady dividend yield at 4% with a free growth option for its upcoming Cotai project (scheduled to open in 2016). We recommend avoiding Genting Singapore (GENS.SP) as we believe that a significant earnings downgrade risk and multiple contraction is likely to cap share price performance. We also do not recommend Genting Bhd (GENT.MK) as we believe that its performance will be dragged by a potentially weaker performance of GENS.

Energy Ecosystem
Structural growth for oil services/energy infrastructure We see companies leveraged to oil services and energy infrastructure as offering a good investment opportunity within the current energy price environment, where free cash flow for some energy producers remains under pressure combined with geopolitical/execution risks. For China, a declining hydrocarbon resource base, increasing import dependency and access to potentially the largest non-conventional gas base globally, the government is actively promoting the local oil services and energy infrastructure sectors. With the potential for more nonconventional wells to be drilled, increasing energy connectivity and continued spending on onshore/offshore oil & gas fields (also a benefit for Asian oil services/yards), we see the Chinese oil services market as worth up to cUS$250 billion by 2020. Rising domestic natural gas prices in Asia; structurally tight LNG market globally We see a tight global LNG market in the medium term with supply risks and upward pressure on pricing. While uncertainty around the timing of Japans nuclear plant restarts is likely to persist in 2014, we expect strong demand for LNG. All these positive fundamentals frame our investment choices to be leveraged to selected LNG producers and oil services/shipyards providing products and LNG vessels. In contrast, higher gas import prices continue to exert pressure on governments, such as those in China, ASEAN and India, to reduce the cost burden and raise domestic gas prices. Flat, but high oil price outlook We see a relatively tight oil market, but Brent at essentially a similar level to the last three years, other non-OPEC supply offsetting North American output growth and continued geopolitical risks to oil supply. We use a base-case Brent price assumption of US$112/bl for 2014 and US$105/bl for 2015.

Thermal coal oversupply to persist Coal markets have stabilized and are showing some early signs of recovery with prices rebounding off their September lows. Prices had fallen to marginal levels prompting some supply response but seasonal 4Q winter restocking has been the primary driver of this recent rebound in coal prices. Beyond seasonality, any rebound will likely be muted by significant idled capacity. In this environment, we prefer companies with low (or declining) costs, high-quality growth and positive free cash flow, and would avoid high-cost, high-debt companies. Be selective on utilities While the valuation for the entire sector is still close to historical average, selected sub-sectors (e.g. China gas distributors) have enjoyed significant re-rating and any headwinds could reverse the trend. Underperforming sub-sectors (China equipment makers) are unlikely to recover given their LT structural problems. We focus on non-yield stocks that have (1) emerging +ve catalysts; (2) major overhang removed; (3) growing strong cash flows, and avoid ex-growth yield plays. Key potential catalysts are 1) sustained coal price weakness, 2) consistent growth (organic & M&A), and 3) rising US treasury yields. Refining not as bad as expected Despite the significant capacity addition in Asia and ME, we believe GRMs will only be slightly lower to flat in 2014 vs. 2013 for the following reasons: 1) Chinese gasoline specs upgrade to China IV will likely mean less production from teapots refiners who have not made the investment to upgrade their equipment, meaning Sinopec and Petrochina need to fill in the gap and thus potentially export less to Asia; 2) both Australia and Japan will have refinery closures which should be positive for margins; 3) Saudi SATORP start-up may have less of an impact as first thought as they will make high-spec products with the bulk targeted for Europe. Downside risk is potentially lower gasoline demand in Indonesia and Malaysia where subsidies were recently cut. Petrochemicals deceleration into 2014 We continue to hold the view that 3Q was only a blip in an otherwise general downtrend in petchemical spreads. 3Q was supported by higher oil prices, looser credit liquidity in China, and many unplanned outages in Asia. With 2013 new supply generally back-end-loaded and even more new capacity coming on-stream in 2014, we do not believe demand growth next year will outpace supply additions. Furthermore with lower cotton prices, we see margins pressure for the whole polyester chain, especially PX, where spreads have held up well in 2013.

Petrochemicals/Refining
Micro-level investment case In 2014, we prefer refining over petrochemicals. While headline refining capacity growth in Asia and ME appears at first to be significant, we believe with much of that capacity growth in China, the net impact on Asian GRMs will be minimal. As China migrates to China IV gasoline next year, many teapot refineries that have not made the upgrading investment will likely need to shut, which means Sinopec and Petrochina may increase output to fill in the gap. Also we dont believe China will become a large exporter of refined products as this would involve increasing crude imports. The situation for petrochemicals is somewhat different. We believe increasing Chinese production will lead to less imports required, which will be negative for N Asia exporters which need to compete with more competitive ME and US producers based on gas. Resilience of the growth outlook We believe consensus earnings for petrochemicals remain too high in 2014 where we expect companies to report generally flat earnings growth over 2013. While 3Q13 was a good quarter for spreads, we do not believe they are sustainable in the next 6-9 months as the higher spreads were mainly driven by supply issues rather than a surge in demand. We expect the Ethylene chain to weaken in 2014 and in particular BD spreads to remain at low levels (vs. history) due to weak demand for SBR. We are particularly bearish on PX, where we think spreads will come off significantly in 2014 due to the slew of new capacities coupled with increasingly lower cotton prices, which limits the upside to polyester prices. Drivers, trends, and datapoints we are tracking While the macro Chinese datapoints such as PMI and IP growth remain important, the key trends of the industry remain downstream demand and trade flow. For refining, we are forecasting slightly lower to flat GRMs next year while for petrochemicals we are assuming generally lower spreads in 2014. Key refining trade flow to watch is where the new SATORP refinery (Saudi) will ship their products. In petrochemicals, we are closely watching the trade flow of recycle plastics into China and increasing exports from ME. Key stock picks We prefer refineries over petrochemicals. Our top picks have organic growth and trough valuations (SK Inno and Reliance). SPC is our preferred exposure to a recovery in Chinese refining margins. Avoid pure commodity chemical companies i.e. Lotte Chemical.

Thermal Coal
Micro-level investment case Coal markets are showing early signs of recovery with prices rebounding off their September lows. Prices had fallen to marginal levels prompting some supply response but seasonal 4Q winter restocking has been the primary driver of this recent rebound in coal prices. Beyond seasonality, any rebound will likely be muted by significant idled capacity. In this environment, we prefer companies with low (or declining) costs, high quality growth and positive free cash flow while high cost, high debt plays should be avoided. Resilience of the growth outlook China (c25%) and India (10-15%) remain the dominant consumers of coal, accounting for c35-40% of global coal demand but driving nearly all of the growth in global seaborne trade over recent years. In 2013, thermal coal imports to China and India are on track to grow 12%, helping overall global coal demand to grow by c4% to c950mt this year. However, this has been overwhelmed by new supply as a result of new coal infrastructure over recent years. Meanwhile, US coal exports remain stubbornly high despite weak economics, which we assume are due to take or pay contracts. Going forward, we expect Chinese imports to fall given climate change and energy mix policies and improved infrastructure that should ease the supply bottleneck. While we remain positive on the longer term picture for seaborne coal as EM nations seek to grow their economies with affordable power, we expect the sector to struggle with oversupply in the near term if there is no sharp increase in demand. Drivers, trends, and datapoints we are tracking With coal markets remaining in oversupply, companies will need to focus on self help measures such as control of costs and capex to ensure positive free cash generation. For signals on underlying market strength, we continue to monitor market inventory, import and end user demand trends (ie. IPP stock days, power generation). Neutral stance Stick with defensive integrated plays With investors already positioned heavily UW the sector, we recommend a N sector stance. Our preferred sector exposure is Shenhua for its world class, low cost coal assets integrated with its own rail assets and IPP assets that offer some protection to low coal prices. We recommend avoiding higher cost, high debt companies that struggle on negative free cash generation including:China Coal and Indika. With Coal India, we believe the sustainability of its superior return profile is at risk from production and policy uncertainty.

Financial Sector
Micro-level investment case We think 2014 will be very much a year of muddle through, as tighter system liquidity begins to weigh on growth & pushes up credit costs, but without the kind of acute shock we saw earlier this year. Loans continue to grow at 3-5% above deposits, pushing up LDRs at an accelerated pace going into the end of 2013. While LDRs are now approaching 100% across much of EM Asia, that in itself is not a constraint; indeed, we see mgmt teams allowing leverage to continue to build. This may support modest loan growth (+12% average) and EPS growth (+8% average) for the region, but we think investors will ultimately assign a much lower multiple to those earnings, as we near the end of the re-leveraging cycle post-08. Resilience of the growth outlook As mentioned above, we think banks are more confident in their ability to continue to supply credit, despite fears of excessive leverage and/or high LDRs (see next page). That said, wed rather own companies benefit from ongoing easy liquidity, than companies that provide it, and ultimately hold the credit risk when economic growth decelerates later on. The biggest question is whether continued credit growth next year feeds through to inflation, forcing policy rate hikes. For now we only see further hikes in India and Indonesia. That would be the trigger for a significant downside in growth forecasts. Drivers, trends, and datapoints we are tracking The prospect of steepening yield curves is likely to benefit NIM sensitive geographies like Taiwan, HK, Singapore, and to a lesser extent Korea. It also plays to our preference for life insurers, of which Ping An (in China) and Samsung Life (in Korea) are among our key Overweights. At the same time, rising interest rates remains a threat to asset quality in areas where leverage has increased the most in recent years (Indonesia; Thai consumer). In general, wed have an negative stance on Financials in the region, given the cyclical headwinds. Key stock picks On the long side, we like CCB and Samsung Card for their defensive balance sheets & gearing to the North Asia. ICICI remains our top pick in India, given its strong capital position & improving mix (retail/onshore) of loans, which should drive up ROEs. KTB is a play on corporate loan growth in Thailand, which we see as less risky than consumer; and Ping An is our top pick on structural developments in Chinas life insurance space (e.g. health). Our UWs include OCBC (overseas risk; gearing); Mandiri (on NIMs, asset quality, growth); and Chailease (on NPL risk; valuations).

Ticker: 2318 HK, Price: HK$61.0, PT: HK$84.0 Investment thesis: As its NBV margin already reaches to AIA Group's FY09 level, following the private health insurance market expansion, its market dominant agency operation could bring further value-increase momentum. Drivers/catalysts: (1) strong NBV growth potential backed by the best agency operation. (2): ~5% nonlife underwriting margin outlook with >20% top-line growth; (3) better synergy evidence between banking and insurance Valuation and risks: Our Dec-14 PT of HK$84 is based on 8.7x NBM for life, 1.9x P/BV for non-life, 0.7x P/BV for bank. Key downside risks are asset quality concerns at its banking and trust operations.

Ticker: BMRI IJ, Price: Rp7,600, PT: Rp7,000 Investment thesis: Mandiri has underperformed its peers by 7% YTD and we believe the trend will persist in 2014 due to: slower loan growth, margin compression and higher credit costs. Drivers/catalysts: 1) Loan growth will slow down to 12% in FY14 due to tighter liquidity condition and credit standards, 2) NIM will decline as funding costs continue to increase, 3) NPL will increase 60bps y/y to 2.7% on lower credit availability, cashflow strains at borrowers and currency depreciation. Valuation and risks: Dec-14 PT of Rp7,000 based on DDM: RFR of 8% CoE of 15.2%, Normalized RoE of 19.9% and terminal growth of 8%. Key downside risks to our view include better than expected asset quality, NIM and loan growth.

Insurance
Micro-level investment case Following the last 30 months yield curve flattening, Asian insurers balance sheets have largely inflated backed by valuations gains from AFS bond book. Under a curve steepening scenario, rising balance sheet stress will impact insurers underwriting, asset allocation, and dividend policy. Thus, we believe staying with overcapitalized insurers will provide better risk/return. In China, following strong volume increase in healthcare insurance, source of earnings change from "investment spread margin" to "mortality/morbidity" should support earnings/ NBV/ share price re-rating during 2014. Resilience of the growth outlook China insurers business model is fast transforming from volume to value. Thus, improving NBV growth backed by rising household demand/ government subsidy increase is key value growth driver for the life sector. Korean life insurers would get continuing benefit from demographics changes and demand on tax-efficient insurance products. We expect double-digit volume growth for China non-life insurers backed by new car sales. ASEAN insurers could enjoy rising household demand on insurance products following GDP growth and young demographics/raising middle income household increase. Drivers, trends, and datapoints we are tracking We are observing a rising demand for protection-type (health/ accident) insurance following household wealth increase and/or better risk awareness. Thus, agency headcounts/ product mix trend should be key drivers for AIA Group/ Chinese life insurers. Underwriting cycle in auto insurance, mortality margin trend on health insurance should be more relevant datapoints for Korean non-life insurers. Demand for insurance for ageing population and liability funding cost trend should remain key drivers for Korean life insurers. Key stock picks Ping An Group is our top pick as we believe it has the best agent channel, and strong growth prospects from the meaningfully opening healthcare insurance market in China. AIA Groups business turnaround from ASEAN countries, SFMs improving shareholder return, SLIs NBV/ earnings improvements remain key sector catalysts. Dongbu stays our top UW due to the high chance of its mortality/morbidity margin deterioration during 2014. We remain cautious on New China Life due to vulnerable to regulatory developments.

Real Estate
Micro-level investment case Start of an asset deflation cycle.we believe all the good things supporting Asian asset prices over the last four years are coming to an end and 2014 may mark the beginning of an asset deflation cycle. However, we believe the upcoming deflationary cycle will be unlike the one we saw in 1997-2003 as the overall leverage in the system is not as high and central banks around the region have been prompt in limiting loan growth to the property sector. Interest rate rises are not all bad for the property sector. We believe the expectation of a recovery in US economic growth may in fact provide support for Grade A office demand in general, although part of this potential valuation uplift would be offset by the potential cap rate expansion. Resilience of the growth outlook Earnings risk the highest in the residential and retail sectorwe believe earnings risks will be highest in the residential sector followed by the retail landlords. On the other hand, office demand normally moves in the same direction as the interest rate cycle. This is being helped particularly by the shortage of supply. We also believe the resilience of China developers earnings growth is high. While prices are expected to be stable, we expect volume will continue to grow at a healthy pace. Drivers, trends, and data points we are tracking We believe the main drivers for the residential price decline will be from 1) fall in residential rents; 2) normalization of the rental yield gap; 3) the expansion of yield in line with the interest rate cycle. Credit growth is the key datapoint to watch in China. If it implodes, we see a risk that Chinese developers may start to fire-sale to keep their cash-flow going. The pace of further slowdown in retail sales in Hong Kong is important as it could create a downward spiral in the economy. Key stock picks Given our cautious outlook on the property sector, we are picking only a handful names as our top picks. Cheung Kong offers the upside from interests outside Hong Kong. COLI remain our preferred pick in China because of its proven track record in sustainable growth. We like CMA and GLP due to its diversified mall exposure and leverage to increase in business activities respectively.

Logistics Ecosystem
Prefer operators and builders of smaller vessels Orderbook-to-fleet is low due to historical underinvestment in small vessels and vessel-upsizing trend in previous cycles. Scrap rate is higher due to a larger proportion of older vessels. Exit of smaller players due to financing/execution challenges will also benefit the stronger players which will grow in market share. Vessel demolition will benefit ship recyclers. P3 alliance will impact liners, shipbuilders and ports P3, if approved, will have a combined market share of 45%/21% on the Asia-Europe/US trade vs 20%/34% for G6 alliance and 18%/26% for CKYH alliance. P3s market shares on Asia-Middle East and Transatlantic trade will also be substantial at 55% and 35%. This could crowd out the smaller carriers given their lower unit costs. P3 could also drive consolidation and force others to order mega ships as a defensive strategy. Key challenges: national interests, integration issues and loss of customers. Long-haul cargo will be carried by fewer and larger ships which will benefit some ports (e.g. Antwerp) but hurt others (e.g. Port Klang, Rotterdam). Key industry trends The lowest cost/most efficient operator will dominate as markets liberalize air services agreements and there are more cross-border alliances/JVs. Low cost carriers will continue to grow market share, particularly in N Asia. Substitution between road/rail/water/air transport will intensify on domestic routes but sea/air transport will continue to dominate cross-border, especially long-haul, carriage. The symbiotic relationship between carriers and support industries implies that airports, ports, travel agencies, logistics operators, ground services, repair facilities will also need to expand/upgrade or risk being bypassed. The airlines capacity expansion and increased govt defense contracts will drive aerospace/MRO demand. Improved capabilities and lower labour costs vs. US/Europe will encourage greater outsourcing to Asia. Customers favour hi-quality Korean/Japanese yards over Chinese yards. For tollroads, we expect stable regulatory outlook and toll revenue growth to normalize in FY14 with small operators outperforming mature ones in China. Commodity markets/environmental regulations/technological advances drive changes Lower iron ore/coal/grains prices will boost rail transport/shipping demand and port volumes. Tightening environmental regulations could drive vessel renewal and fall in old ship values. Cheaper fuel prices/development of alternative fuels will benefit carriers. LNG-fuelled ships could take off. New polar routes could cut travel times and costs for long-haul transport, bypassing certain hubs while driving Arctic shipbuilding demand.

Transportation
Micro-level investment case Transportation: 2014 brings more cheer as scheduled aircraft and vessel deliveries will moderate: Valuations are at a c.25% discount to historical average levels with bulk stocks providing the biggest potential and container shipping the least. We are more positive on the outlook for airlines and bulk shipping, while staying cautious on container shipping. Shipbuilding: We expect the diminishing labor cost gap and the rising importance of fuel efficiency to change the Asian shipbuilding landscape. We expect Japan to become the number-two shipbuilding country, ahead of China, within 2015. Technology and quality are increasingly important amid tightening environmental regulations and the focus on fuel efficiency. We expect Korean yards to strengthen their number-one position thanks to newly designed ecoships. The sector has started to recover on these themes, but the outlook is far from fully priced in. Resilience of the growth outlook Airlines: The outlook should improve markedly from 2014 as supply growth moderates, particularly in the Chinese airline sector which we recently upgraded. We are bullish on the budget air travel market and believe this threat is less priced in for North Asian carriers. Bulk Shipping: We expect freight rates to pull back at year-end/early next year during the holiday season and as new vessels are delivered. Longer term, we still have a positive contrarian view and expect average freight rates in 2014 to surpass 2013 levels, driving earnings recovery. Container Shipping: To sustain/raise rates further, the liners would need to exercise significant capacity rationalization. Demand-supply growth will likely return to balance from 2015. Drivers, trends and datapoints we are tracking Airlines: Sector still faces oversupply which needs to be effectively managed. Bulk Shipping: The order book looks overstated and vessel delivery shortfalls have been significant given financing challenges for many ship owners and builders. Vessel demolition has also helped to mitigate capacity growth. Container Shipping: Nominal supply growth will remain substantial in 2014. P3 alliance could crowd out smaller liners LT. Key stock picks Our top airline picks are Air China and Singapore Airlines among the airlines. In shipping, we prefer Evergreen Marine among the container shippers and Pacific Basin among the bulk shippers. Hyundai Mipo is our top pick among the shipbuilders. Our top avoids are China Rongsheng, Hanjin Shipping and Yang Ming Marine.

Ticker: 1101 HK, Price: HK$0.92, PT: HK$0.70 Investment thesis: We believe delays in ship delivery are unlikely to ease in the near future, especially given the significant staff reductions, and Rongsheng might face increased claims and cancellation risks from ship owners. Further earnings loss seems inevitable in the upcoming 2-3 years. Drivers/catalysts: Better-than-expected operation and government support may support further earnings downside.

Internet
Micro-level investment case We believe the China internet sector offers structural growth opportunities to investors with a reasonable risk/reward profile. In addition to the offline economy shifting online, we expect mobile internet monetization to drive high growth of the sector (26% 2014-16E earnings CAGR across our coverage universe). Chinas mobile internet has completed its initial growth stage with Tencent and Qihoo having formed large mobile traffic platforms. These traffic platforms will continue to benefit from its user base on which mature business models can be applied. We believe gaming is a particularly feasible and proven model in China and other Asian markets. Resilience of the growth outlook We believe sector growth will be fueled by: 1) mobile internet population dividends arising from the user shift from PC to mobile internet, and 2) fast adoption of mobile monetization. Some of the proven business models on PC can be applied to mobile platforms. With proven success, gaming has been the first choice of many internet companies to initiate mobile monetization. We expect monetization by e-commerce and advertising to follow. Drivers, trends, and datapoints we are tracking Mobile population in China saw a 21% CAGR over the past two years, reaching 464m as of 1H13. Mobile internet user penetration increased to 78% by 1H13. Ecommerce, online advertising and online gaming jointly contributed 88% of the total PC internet market size. We expect similar market patterns to be replicated from PC to mobile, with mobile gaming set to lead the trend at the initial stage.

Key stock picks In the China internet sector, we prefer Tencent and Qihoo, which have already built their respective mobile traffic platforms. Tencent is a leader in mobile SNS and messaging, while Qihoo has a strong foothold in internet security and app distribution. Strong user demand on these services enables both platforms to generate recurring mobile traffic at a very low cost. Tencent has already started to monetize its mobile traffic through mobile gaming, which we believe will drive its earnings growth in 2014.

Telecommunications
Micro-level investment case The nexus of outperformance has shifted away from its traditional EM wireless base towards developed markets and integrated operators. This is due to a structural change in network scalability as we move from voice to data, impacting operators ability to leverage volume to offer a product affordable at low income levels at limited incremental capital outlays. Industry revenue growth is now trending at sub-GDP growth levels in most markets. Investors need to focus either on content-related investments (please see our Asia Content Ecosystem comments in this report) or look at developed market and/ or integrated operators vs the historical scale/penetrationdriven EM wireless focus. Resilience of the growth outlook We expect a bifurcation in outlook between markets undergoing data price repair (which should track inline with to ahead of macro growth Japan, Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong) and markets where operators are still paying tuition for subscribers (all of EM Asia). We expect to see this weak revenue growth across EM combine with margin compression and rising capex as operators struggle with data usage growth significantly in excess of data revenue growth. Drivers, trends and data points we are tracking The most important statistic we are tracking is unit data pricing, topic covered in detail in our latest edition of Telco Conversations, Defining V and R to solve for P, dated 1 November 2013. The lack of scalability of data networks enables us to estimate a capex break-even price based on spectrum banks. Price repair appears critical in most EM Asia Telco markets. Key stock picks Our preference in the telco space remains biased towards developed markets with: 1) evidence of data price repair, i.e., where operators are charging a profitable price relative to their spectrum holdings and capex demands and 2) integrated players that can leverage an asset-based cost structure advantage through Wi-Fi. This leaves us positive on operators in Japan, Korea, Singapore M1 (OW, covered by Princy Singh) and Hong Kong PCCW (OW, Michelle Wei), and negative on EM wireless carriers in markets such as Indonesia ISAT/ EXCL (UW, Princy Singh) and Thailand ADVANC/ DTAC (UW, Princy Singh).

India IT Services
Micro-level investment case We expect IT Services spending strength to continue in 2014 barring hard-to-estimate effects of events such as an adverse US immigration bill. Available indicators at this point suggest 2014 will be a year of consolidation with decent probability of a mild pick-up relative to 2013 (though we may not see a marked growth pick-up in 2014 versus 2013). We estimate 13-15% industry growth for FY15, based on three factors (a) pick-up in demand from Europe (particularly ex-UK), (b) continued strength in discretionary spending from the US, (c) 2014 is likely to be a better year for large-legacy rebid deals opening up for renewal. It is sweet spot for Indian IT players. Resilience of the growth outlook We are relatively confident of healthy revenue growth for large Indian IT players in CY14. Improvement in discretionary spending from the US and incremental offshoring from Europe (particularly from first-time outsourcers) are likely to drive growth. We expect Indian IT players to continue to gain market share and expand their addressable market. We think Indian IT industry will likely deliver USD revenue growth of 13-15% Y/Y in FY15. Drivers, trends, and datapoints we are tracking Y/Y revenue growth for the Indian IT players is looking up due to healthy demand and cyclical upturn in discretionary spending. We expect discretionary demand to remain strong in CY14. We would watch for management commentary on Europe (particularly ex-UK) and discretionary spend. We note that all large-cap Indian IT players (including laggards such as Wipro and Infosys) point to improving demand environment. In terms of data points, we would watch for Cognizants internal revenue targets (in Dec-13), Infosys' and Cognizants guidance (in Apr-14) and macro data points from Europe and the US. Key stock picks We continue to stay constructive on Indian IT believing CY14 will be a steady year for Indian IT consolidating on the gains in 2013. Infosys & HCLT are OW-rated stocks for us. We are Neutral on TCS as we find nearterm valuations a tad punchy. But we see TCS as a core holding for strategic portfolios as gains from leadership compound long term. Compounding tends to be underappreciated the longer the timeframe, the greater the compounding gains.

Technology
Micro-level investment case 2013 was a year of mobile computing devices (MCD) addressing concerns about premium and beginning to show cannibalization of mass-tier products, smartphone and tablet PCs. While traditional set devices (Consumer Electronics and PCs) will likely continue to show stagnant growth, we expect key components in the semiconductor space (foundry, memory, and IC design) to post healthy growth and profitability upon supply discipline and trend toward efficient power computing. Moreover, we expect new emerging technologies (LED general lighting, xEV batteries) and business models (Lenovo) to present important positions in the sector in 2014. Resilience of the growth outlook Most tech companies still show concern about the muted global macro condition and expect this trend to continue into 2014. Coupled with anemic consumption growth, we believe a lack of technology breakthrough in relevant sectors; semiconductor (slowing down node migration) and display (unsolved key hurdles toward flexible) to also weigh down volume growth. We believe industry leaders with superior cost structure and economies of scale should relatively benefit and outperform peers. Drivers, trends, and datapoints we are tracking The near-term catalyst we anticipate from the sector is year-end holiday demand across the globe to identify overall consumer appetite toward new tech devices. We are also interested in the potential upside to the PC market in 2014, provided low market expectation and replacement cycle kicks-in. On the last, we would keep our eye on the convergence across sectors; new product emergence and potential restructuring/M&A activities to see the potential winner after next technology breakthrough. Key stock picks We prefer components over set names and believe key players in the semiconductor space (TSMC, SK Hynix, Mediatek) should benefit from supply discipline and robust volume growth. We also like LED lighting play (SSC) and LED application expansion story (STC) on the back of robust demand at general lighting and technology breakthrough at MCD. However, we stay cautious on large-area display (TV space) mainly upon sluggish demand outlook and avoid TV-centric panel name (Innolux) and traditional CE names.

Ticker: 2330.TT, Price: NT$105, PT: NT$130 Investment thesis: We expect TSMC to grow in the high-teens, helped by strong 20nm traction and ongoing demand for high-end 28nm High K metal gate products. Competitive pressure likely be limited Drivers/catalysts: (1) Stronger than expected 20nm traction, (2) Apple contribution from 2Q13, (3) End of inventory correction by 4Q13, (4) Improvement in structural profitability due to better ASPs. Valuation and risks: June-14 PT of NT$130 based on 15x 12m forward P/E (long-run average). Key downside risks are (1) slowdown in a mobile device growth; and (2) Intel's abandoning ATOM and stepping headlong into ARM Foundry.

Emerging Technology
Micro-level investment case The story for tech over the last several years has been about smartphones/tablets, but we believe we are reaching the late cycle in light of the following signs of saturation: (1) Most high-end smartphone launches since the iPhone 5 have been disappointing; and (2) the China smartphone diffusion rate is expected to reach 80%+ by 2013, meaning that we have passed the peak of conversion. The non-China EM is still in the budding stages of conversion, and that market unit size is 3-4x bigger than China, which would be the last leg of growth. Resilience of the growth outlook The growth profile across PCs, smartphones and TVs is single-digits at best or even negative this will drive growth deceleration across most companies. Our discovery for high-growth stocks is based on the following framework: (1) high exposure to non-China EM smartphones (Mediatek, TCL-Comm); (2) new features in high-end smartphones, like fingerprints (Sapphire Tech, ASE); and (3) transformation to new high-growth businesses (Anxin in public/private safety surveillance, Nidec to new motor markets with higher energy efficiency). Drivers, trends, and datapoints we are tracking We track the blended ASP trend for Mediatek and TCLComm given that feature phones are still more than half of shipments, we believe there is still plenty of smartphone conversion to drive an ASP uplift. We monitor if there are sapphire replacements or new SiP vendors coming up demand growth is quite clear to us; its really about whether the vendors can maintain their competitive advantages. We follow new contract wins to gauge the pace of transformation for Anxin and Nidec. Key stock picks Our top picks are Anxin, TCL-Comm, Sapphire Tech, ASE and Nidec, as detailed above. Our top avoids are Shinko, Lite-On Tech and Pegatron the avoids are all expected to see RoE compression due to competitive threats: Shinko could see cannibalization by ARM-based CPUs and also new competition from Unimicron for its Intel business; Lite-On Tech had done very well in camera modules, but now a number of Chinese vendors are entering the space; Pegatron is losing the default second-source status for Apple, which has qualified Wistron for iPhones and Compal Comm for iPads.

Healthcare
Micro-level investment case We believe the drug subsector will continue facing pricing pressure as 2014 will be a year of the tender. With other provinces looking at Guangdong for new tender models, headwinds appear to be strong for the drug subsector, which will likely spill over to distributors, who could also face margin pressure. However, the fundamentals of the healthcare industry remain strong: 1) an aging population; 2) increasing government spending on healthcare; 3) expanding insurance coverage; and 4) rising disposal income. We remain positive in the longer term and see 2014 as a solid year for industry growth, albeit at a lower pace and consolidation. Resilience of the growth outlook Although the drug subsector is likely to face continued pricing pressure, the implementation of an expanded EDL and new tenders should give volume expansion; i.e., drug sector sales growth should continue to be about 1718% Y/Y. Medical devices and equipment remain underpenetrated and should benefit from continued strength of the hospital services sector, supported by expanding private hospital chains. Drivers, trends, and datapoints we are tracking We are tracking monthly healthcare industry output and profit data announced by the NDRC. We monitor some key commodity product prices such as corn, 6-APA, amoxicillin, and etc. Very importantly, we keep a close eye on tenders carried out by various provinces throughout the year to gauge pricing trends and the weight of quality vs. price. Key stock picks We are OW Fosun Pharma because of its diversified product and service offering along the healthcare vertical, its strengthening drug manufacturing operations, and budding hospital services segment. We like CSPC Pharma because the company has the best and most balanced product portfolio and pipeline and its potential upside from upswing of ASP for Vitamin C bulk. We are UW Shineway because of its outsized exposure to sales from EDL products and do not foresee quick turnaround of OTC businesses from sales channel restructuring.

SMID Caps
Micro-level investment case We find more evidence at the interim results that supports our view that the snap back in margins since 3Q12 is continuing well into 2014. The rise in margins should cause a re-rating in shares in 2H13. We are still at fwd PE multiples of around 10-11x, which is below the 15-20x PE that is typical at market peaks. We are seeing a reacceleration of demand in China staring Aug 2013 and this should further drive margins from below to above historical norms before end-2013. The market of most concern for SMID-Caps is India where the falling currency and soft demand should crimp margins in 2014 (as what was experienced in China in 2012). Resilience of the growth outlook The key reason, we believe, end user demand and pricing power will return in the next 12-18 months is the trend of nearly all companies increasing expansion plans in 2013 relative to expectations. The change in sentiment by corporate from cash conservation to more aggressive expansion is not fully appreciated by the market. Even companies with very slow sales growth in so far in 2013 are planning to add capacity despite not operating at full capacity due to confidence that demand would improve quickly and the need to expand now rather than missing the impending rush of orders. Drivers, trends, and datapoints we are tracking We polled over 50 SMID Caps in recent months and assessed the outlook of managements across multiple sectors. Our key conclusions from S-Gauge are: 1) Demand: credit is less tight but government stimulus measures slower than expected. 2) Margins: cost pressures have eased since mid 2012 and higher plant utilizations should lead to margin expansion in 2013. 3) Balance Sheets: Most managements lowered debt by end of 2012 and have begun spending on expansion. Key stock picks Our top picks in HK/China include Xinyi Glass, the most diversified glass producer in China; China State Construction, China's leading builder of affordable housing, Techtronics, which is benefiting from a US recovery in Housing and better prospects in Europe. Regionally, we highlight Makalot from Taiwan as a leading provider of high quality garments. We are cautious on industrial stocks in India such as Havells.

Company overview 21Vianet is the largest carrier-neutral Internet data center services provider in China. 21Vianet provides hosting and related services, managed network services and cloud computing infrastructure services, improving the reliability, security and speed of its customers' Internet connections through 21Vianet's Internet infrastructure. It operates in more than 40 cities throughout China, servicing more than 2,000 customers. Investment case We see more than 30% potential upside over the coming year driven by: 1) stronger data center demand in China to translate into quicker cabinets sell-through with rising prices; and 2) the mix of the cabinets portfolio to shift significantly to self-built ones in Beijing in the next 15 months, which will likely underpin a stronger margin trend. VNET is the sole partner of Microsoft cloud service in China, and we believe Windows Azure and Office 365 will be major growth drivers alongside hosting business in the next few years. Resilience of the growth outlook 21Vianet is well positioned to ride the growth of cloud computing services in China as the sole partner with Microsoft for the latters Windows Azure and Office 365 products. 21Vianet, as the largest carrier-neutral data center service provider, is also the major beneficiary of the increase in demand for data center services driven by the strong Internet traffic growth. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Slow sell-through of new cabinets may present downside risks to our earnings forecasts. Price target, and risks to our investment view We are Overweight the stock and we adopt an EV/EBITDA multiple of 13x 2014E EV/EBITDA to set our price target. Our Dec-14 PT of US$25 implies 2014E and 2015E P/E of 38x and 23x, respectively. Key downside risks include delay of commercial launch of cloud business and slower-than-expected sell-through of new cabinets.

Company overview For 90 years, AIA Group has offered life insurance, accident and health insurance as well as wealth management solutions to individuals and businesses in the Asia Pacific region largely based by the exclusive agency forces. Through an extensive network of agents, it serves customers across 15 geographical markets. Investment case AIAs 2013 results look broadly supported by better-than-expected NBV growth from China/ HK (volume and margin) and Korea (volume) mitigating negativities (currency/weak demand) on ASEAN countries. In 2014, factoring in strong restructuring efforts during 2013, higher NBV growth in Malaysia (business synergy post acquisition), a volume turnaround in Thailand (through agency restructuring), a gradual opening up of healthcare insurance in China should support >18% NBV growth, triggering an upward revision of the NBV consensus outlook on AIA. Resilience of the growth outlook AIA has managed the agency operation with top market share across the region. Following GDP growth, household rising demand for better risk protection should support AIAs growth. From AIAs existing policies, we expect a ~US$2B annual net profit contribution until 2027.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Due to diversified exposure across the Asia Pacific region, potential weakness of local currencies and/or an economic slump in each region could work against AIAs earnings/ NBV growth outlook. 5% depreciation in the local currency would affect Singapore/Malaysia/Thailand division earnings by -9%/-4%/-1% respectively. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun-14 PT of HK$45 is derived from our multi-stage NBV growth model which yields an implied blended P/EV of 1.8x and blended new business multiple of 18x for the group. Key risks: 1) slowing NBV growth momentum; 2) a delay in the launch of high-margin unit-linked products; and 3) a longer-than-expected business turnaround in Malaysia.

Company overview Air China is the national flag carrier of China, providing domestic and international passenger and cargo transportation services. It is a member of the Star Alliance group. Its 1H13 revenue breakdown was: passenger: 89%, cargo services: 8% and others: 3%. Air China also owns a 29.9% stake in Cathay Pacific which in turn owns a 20.1% stake in Air China. Investment case We like Air China best in the long term given its strong organic growth prospects (driven by rising outbound Chinese traffic, premium/transit pax/cargo market share gains), leverage to growing West China market, and lowest exposure to high-speed rail competition. Resilience of the growth outlook Industry demand-supply growth balance should improve in 2014 with potential supply shortage in the longer term as aircraft deliveries moderate implying fleet growth of only c.9% in 2014E and c.5% in 2015E, before taking into account aircraft retirement. Notwithstanding Chinas lower economic growth, we remain bullish on the LT growth prospects of the airline sector given Chinas low travel penetration (at 0.3x trips per capita vs 2.0x for developed markets) and expect Chinas air traffic to grow 1.5x Chinas real GDP growth going forward, in line with sector average multiplier. We expect this to help lift the sector and Air Chinas recurring earnings growth next year, driving a re-rating. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Key downside risks would be weaker than expected economic conditions in China, resulting in industry oversupply, rising competition from high-speed rail expansion, volatile fuel prices and Cathay Pacifics results disappoint. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of HK$7.0 is based on 1.3x P/BV, a 25% discount to Air Chinas historical average valuation since listing (excluding the M&A speculation period) given its lower than historical average profitability. Key downside risks: Chinas growth stalls, resulting in industry oversupply, rising competition from high-speed rail expansion, volatile fuel prices, weaker than expected earnings contribution from Cathay Pacific and other associates.

Company overview Anton Oil is one of Chinas integrated oil services companies with Schlumberger (SBL.US; OW) as its strategic shareholder (c20% interest). The company is comprised of four segments: Down-hole Operations, Well Completion, Drilling Technology and Tubular Services. These businesses have patented technologies, and Anton Oils proprietary products of downhole tools, chemicals and service equipment combined with job design allows it to provide a one-stop service for the oil and gas industry. Investment case While the structural growth story built around Chinas non-conventional gas resource base will continue to act as a key value driver, we think its strategic positioning towards an integrated model is not fully reflected in its valuation, with the shares trading at c15% P/E 14 discount to local peers. We think the move towards integrated production and rig management will see robust margins vs peers and reversal of the shares recent underperformance (c30% both absolute and relative to the HSI since June) in the medium term. Resilience of the growth outlook We expect Anton Oils earnings to be driven by new business in China, with a supply constrained natural gas market and price hikes incentivizing new drilling and project developments; by new awards overseas, particularly from Iraq as the country continues to ramp up oil output; and by a gradual improvement in product offering from Anton Oils integrated oil service model. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Main risks to our earnings are lower than expected tenders and new contracts from lower oil company activity; lower margins due to increased competition in the local market and a sharp fall in oil prices reducing industry spending in the medium term. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of HK$6.4 is based on a sum-of-the-parts methodology and derived by assigning an EV/EBITDA multiple to each of the four business segments. Key risks are increased competition in the oilfield services sector from international and SOE entrants, and speed and direction of political reform limiting growth of private firms.

Company overview Anxin-China manufactures Intelligent Surveillance, Disaster Alert and Rescue Coordination (ISD) systems to monitor safety conditions in mines, gas stations and other high risk areas. The company entered the Intelligent Safety System (ISS) market in November 2012 to analyze video content for Chinas growing public security market. Investment case We rate Anxin OW based on the companys dominant position in the work safety and surveillance industry. The State Administration of Work Safety mandates that large and mid-sized enterprises in 31 high-risk industries have at least an 80% compliance rate in terms of building an emergency response platform by the end of 2015. Anxin is also entering the public safety and surveillance market. Resilience of the growth outlook We believe Anxins ISD segment will maintain robust growth, given that demand for work safety and surveillance compliance is driven by the Chinese government and that ISD system penetration is currently below 5%, implying much room for growth.

Company overview ASE is the worlds largest OSAT, offering chip packaging and testing services to global fabless and IDM customers like QCOM, BRCM, MTK, MRVL and others. ASE acquired an EMS firm, USI, and started consolidating its operations in 1Q10. Investment case We foresee meaningful revenue growth /margin expansion for ASE in 2014 backed by: (1) meaningful allocation likely for Apples 20nm AP (fabbed at TSMC), given ASEs leadership in PoP packaging; (2) potential synergies between in-house assembly/test and EMS segments for ramping SiP business; (3) industry migration toward advanced packaging; and (4) substantial downside protection for wirebonder utilizations due to significant IDM exposure. Resilience of the growth outlook With the replacement cycle for gold wire bonders (to copper ones) coming to an end, the drag on ASEs earnings should decline because most of the capex over the past three to four years that went into the conversion did not result in incremental revenues or profits. With the bulk of fresh investments going into advanced packaging, fresh revenue generation should pick up, in our view. Moreover, ASEs 3Q13 packaging GM came in at an 11-quarter high, primarily due to lower depreciation and higher exposure to advanced packaging. With depreciation expected to peak in 2013, and an increase expected in advanced packaging revenues, we believe packaging GM is likely to remain high in 2014 and beyond. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 We are concerned about lower wirebonder utilization in 2014 as the industry moves aggressively toward flip chip and advanced packaging. However, we believe IDMs are likely to help save wirebonder utilizations since they are likely to move more slowly than fabless vendors to advanced packaging. ASE stands out better in this regard, with 37% exposure to IDM (compared to 9% for SPIL). Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun-14 PT of NT$35 is based on 2x FY14E book, with an ROE of 15%, in line with the higher end of its revised mid-cycle valuation, given an improving ROE profile. Key downside risks include a slower ramp-up of advanced packaging and the likelihood of low utilization in the wirebonding and testing business.

AC.PS,AC PM Price: Php597.00 Price Target: Php715.00
Company overview Ayala Corporation is the holding company of one of the largest and most diversified business groups in the Philippines. It maintains a leading presence in real estate development (Ayala Land), financial services (Bank of the Philippine Islands), telecommunications (Globe Telecom), water delivery, sewerage and sanitation services (Manila Water), and electronics manufacturing services (Integrated Microelectronics). It also has exposure to the business process outsourcing sector through LiveIt. Investment case AC is our preferred conglomerate pick in the Philippines given its leverage to the robust macro story, access to well-managed assets, good stock liquidity, and attractive valuations. AC provides one-stock access to a portfolio of quality companies that leverage on the cyclical uptrend of the country. Resilience of the growth outlook We believe AC will sustain its robust growth barring any meaningful slowdown in the Philippine economy. ACs underlying subsidiaries like AC and BPI are highly leveraged to the robust growth of the economy. Other growth drivers for the company include its energy-related ventures and infra project roll-outs of the government. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 A sudden, sharp rise in interest rate is a key risk to ACs 2014 earnings as this will impact ALI and BPI negatively. Further delay in the arbitration of MWC is also a key risk to our 2014 forecasts. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of Php715 is derived from a 15% discount to our Php840 NAV. Our 15% discount is in line with the stocks 8-year discount to NAV of 14% and takes into account potential higher discount rates, zero progress on infrastructure, and possible replication of more than 90% of its portfolio in the market. Our NAV is a SOTP of the major subsidiaries and associates. Key downside risks to our PT are major disappointment in the operating performance of its subsidiaries, ALIs failure to deliver on long-term targets, and overpaying for new projects.

ALI.PS,ALI PM Price: Php28.85 Price Target: Php36.00
Company overview Ayala Land is the largest and most diversified real estate developer in the Philippines, with interests in housing, retail, office, and hotel developments. The company's expertise lies in master planning business districts, such as Makati and Fort Bonifacio, which are premier CBDs in the country. Investment case We believe that ALI is the best exposure to the Philippines' robust macro story. ALI is well positioned to benefit from the strong economic growth, favorable credit environment which should underpin the sustained robust growth in real estate demand. We expect ALI to deliver a faster-than-peers 20% EPS CAGR in FY14EFY15E as the company sustains its aggressive project launches and commercial lease expansion. Resilience of the growth outlook ALIs robust earnings growth potential is supported by attractive long-term structural drivers. Rising income, expanding middle income families, high consumer confidence, structurally low interest rates amid favorable demographics and large housing backlog augur well for secular real estate demand. ALIs unbooked revenues of Php90bn as of Sept-13 represents 58% of our FY14E-FY15E real estate revenue forecast.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Key earnings risk for ALI would be a sharp increase in interest rates due to external factors, as this may weigh down on real estate demand. However, we believe that any potential rate increase will be capped by the substantial domestic liquidity and strong macro fundamentals. A substantial appreciation of peso is also a risk to office segment growth which is being driven by demand from the offshoring and outsourcing industry. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of Php36 is based on a 10% discount to our NAV estimate of Php41/share. This reflects the NAV discount that is near the +1 SD above its historical average. We think it is justifiable given the company's superior return profile, established execution track record, robust long-term structural drivers, and the company's higher growth trajectory. Downside key risks: sharp rise in interest rates, lower-than-expected residential take-up, meaningful slowdown in economic growth

Company overview BEC World operates Channel 3, Thailands second-most popular free-TV channel. It earns the bulk of its revenue and profit from selling advertising minutes on its TV channel. Other businesses are complementary (such as radio stations, show organizations) but do not contribute meaningfully to the bottom line. BEC receives the concession to operate Channel 3 from the Mass Communication Organization of Thailand (MCOT). The last concession extension is for 10 years ending March 2020. BEC paid an extra Bt405 million for the extension, upfront. Investment case Our positive view on the stock is premised on BECs ongoing market share gains thanks to its large library of quality content and pool of talent. The stock recently underperformed on concerns about slowing GDP and the threat from Digital Free-TV transition (D-FTV), but we believe this is unlikely to materialize until after 2016. As a result, we see the underperformance as overdone. Resilience of the growth outlook On the existing analog platform, growth has been resilient. We expect this to continue until 2015. However, once D-FTV becomes more popular, the competitive landscape could change the industrys growth outlook, which could represent either an opportunity or threat to the growth of BEC. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Faster-than-expected D-FTV adoption could potentially trigger market share redistribution earlier than we thought. Slowing consumption and GDP could cause a cut in adex by advertisers. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT for BEC of Bt70 is based on 22x P/E (the 10-year mean) on the back of solid CF, 13% three-year EPS CAGR and a 62% ROE in FY14E. Key risks: 1) faster-than-expected D-FTV adoption; 2) further pull-back in adex; and 3) regulatory risks.

Company overview Beijing Enterprises Water (BEW) is the water subsidiary of Beijing Enterprises Holdings, which owns 45% of BEW. The company is predominantly involved in constructing and operating wastewater treatment plants in China. As of the end of 2012, the company had 10MM tons of wastewater treatment capacity in its portfolio. Management has guided for 2MM ton capacity growth pa going forward. Investment case BEW is a leader in China's wastewater treatment sector. Its strength lies in its breadth of geographic reach and strong project execution. Looking into 2014, we believe the company will take advantage of industry consolidation and add to its existing capacity by acquiring smaller water companies or acquiring projects from local governments. Resilience of the growth outlook Two of the advantages BEW has over peers are its ability to obtain low-cost financing and its backing by a strong parent, Beijing Enterprises Holdings. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Downside risks to earnings may come from lower-than-expected earnings from recent acquisitions. In addition, there could be cash flow risks if the amounts due from build-transfer construction projects are not collected on schedule. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT is based on a sum-of-the parts valuation, using a P/E multiple of 7x (construction contractors average) to derive the valuation of the build-transfer segment and a DCF with a WACC of 8.2% and a terminal growth rate of 2% to value the remaining water segment. Our PT implies a FY14E P/E of 20x. Key downside risks to our price target include: a potential equity placement, which may dilute EPS; higher interest rates, which would lower earnings; low project utilization rates, which would reduce operations revenue; delays in payments from customers, which would result in higher accounts receivable and working capital issues; and less supportive government policies for the water sector, which would result in fewer investment opportunities for the company.

Company overview Brambles (BXB) is a pooling solutions company specialising in the provision of reusable pallets, crates and containers and associated logistics services. BXB operates across multiple industry supply chains in more than 50 countries. Its pooling solution businesses are divided into three segments, pallets, re-useable plastic crates (RPCs) and containers. BXB is in the process of demerging its Recall, an information management company which is expected to be completed by calendar 2013 year end. Investment case BXB is a well managed company focused on generating above WACC returns on its global pooling solutions operations. Post the GFC it focused on improving its own pallet logistics and increasing productivity levels. In our view BXB is well placed to leverage off increased economic activity levels in 2014 from its key markets of the USA and Europe with additional growth generated from developing new markets and expanding its product range and targeting new customer bases. We translate our USD valuation to AUD using spot FX rate, therefore a weak AUD is positive for valuation. Resilience of the growth outlook BXB has strong market shares in its key markets. In our view senior management post the demerger of Recall will be entirely focused on driving shareholder wealth creation through net customer wins, developing new markets and improving efficiencies. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Underlying EBIT FY14 growth guidance of 4-8% (JPMe 7%), may prove conservative if global growth is stronger than expected and if translated earnings are higher due to a weak USD. Customer losses and /or a stronger USD may negatively impact 2014 EPS. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our June 2014 price target of A$9.41ps is based on a roll forward of our current SOTP DCF converted at spot A$1:US$0.95. Risks include: customer losses to competitors in the US and Europe; Difficulties integrating the IFCO acquisition; An adverse reaction by customers to Brambles strong market share position in US pallets with white wood and pooled assets; and a slowdown in global economic growth.

Company overview Brilliance China has a 50% stake in the Brilliance China BMW JV, which produces 3- series and 5-series sedans and X1 SUVs in China. It is also a major minivan producer in China and its products include the Jinbei Haise minibus. Investment case 1) We believe Brilliances BMW volume will grow by 40%, if not close to 50%, in 2014 (consensus 30%), thanks to 3-series and completion of capacity expansion in Oct-13. 2) R&D investment in Brilliance's new energy car business could be much lower in 2014- same for loss in its mini-bus business. Both will be a surprise to the market if materializes. 2) On SUV, we expect Brilliances BMW X1 SUV to grow at 30% in 2014 while localization of BMW X3, likely in (2H) 2016, will be a major LT boost to bottom line. We estimate X3 model alone can bring to Brilliance ~Rmb34bn profit a year- this is huge considering Brilliances profit of Rmb3.6bn in 2013E. Resilience of the growth outlook We estimate a total of over 5mn units of mid to large size PV fleet will be over 8-9 years old by end-2013. Those cars are not only old subject to scrape or replace, they are not even Euro II emission standard. In this segment (pricing largely ~Rmb200400k), customers are starting to see entry-level models of premium brands (e.g. BMW, Audi) and a shift favoring premium product is inevitable. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Key risks include weaker-than-expected sales volume of BMWs cars in China, and a sharper-than-expected price cut in Chinas auto market, including the luxury segment that Brilliance focuses on. We are also cautious of any higher than anticipated loss from mini bus and future new energy car business. Price target, and risks to our investment view Dec14 PT of HK$20 based on 0.7x PEG or equivalent to 17x 2014E PER, high end of the stocks historical trading band. Risks: 1) failure of 3-series and 5-series facelift; 2) worse than expected profit contribution from BMW JV (currently forecasting Rmb 4.8bn and 5.8bn in 2014 and 2015).

BRU.AX,BRU AU Price: A$1.51 Price Target: A$3.18
Company overview Buru operates a 64,000 km2 or ~16m acre position in Australias north west Canning Basin. It holds 50% of the more prospective areas (with Mitsubishi) and generally 25-30% (with Mitsubishi and now Apache) in the lower priority areas after a recent farm down. Frac testing of 5 wet gas wells will begin around April 2014. Buru also discovered conventional oil in the Ungani trend, and this is due to begin production at 3-5kbopd in 2014. Its vast acreage position also holds ~300mmbls of risked prospective conventional oil resource across 20+ leads. Investment case Buru operates one of the largest contiguous shale exploration plays in the world. The main issue for the unconventional wet gas plays, even if they achieve strong flow rates during testing in mid 2014, is infrastructure and commercialization due to the acreage remote location and terrain. Buru has plans to deal with this but they are ambitious. In contrast, the up to 20mmbbls discovered oil and ~300mmbbls risked oil prospects should be economic to produce despite the transportation logistics involved. Resilience of the growth outlook Other than the modest Ungani oil development planned in 2014, the growth outlook is highly dependent upon exploration results. It carries a high degree of variability/risk. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 The main risk relates to the startup of full commercial production from the Ungani field in 2014; primarily the timing and the speed of ramp up. The upside risk relates to the success and tie-in of a further 3-4 Ungani oil exploration wells due to drill in 2014. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our rating is Overweight and our Jun-14 PT is A$3.18. Our PT is based upon our sum of the parts DCF where we apply risk factors to each growth option based on its maturity and our confidence in each project. Assumptions: US$90/bbl LT real oil price; LT exchange rate of A$/US$0.80 (base case valuations) and US$0.90 (PTs); WACC of 10%. Key downside risks: decreases in oil price; failures on either unconventional wet gas or conventional oil exploration/appraisal; and cancellation or deferral of resources related projects in Western Australia which could lower gas pricing and demand.

Company overview Cairn India is an E&P-focused company, with a stake in nine blocks (three of which are producing), including the prolific Rajasthan asset (gross reserves are ~7.3bn boe). Crude prices, along with output growth, are key earnings drivers. Investment case Cairn offers production growth (c.13% pa medium term), biased to oil. Cairns barrels are among the highest-margin in the oil industry, with low opex. With an upstream focus, Cairn is less exposed to regulatory drags faced by downstream companies in India. Valuations look inexpensive, with shares at a 50% discount to peers, which we believe reflects concerns about corporate structure. With potential exploration success, a greater focus on shareholder returns will close this gap, in our view. Resilience of the growth outlook Cairn has a high-quality resource base, with the Rajasthan asset expected to cross 200kbopd in early 2014. With high-margin barrels (lower than industry opex), Cairns returns should be more resilient to any correction in commodity prices. A strong exploratory program in the Rajasthan asset should aid reserve accretion.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Risks to earnings in 2014 emanate from lower-than-expected oil prices and upstream project execution risks. FX appreciation would be a negative as well (sales are US$ denominated). Price target, and risks to our investment view We have a Sep-14 target of Rs400. We use a risk-based methodology to arrive at a Net Asset Value (NAV) through a bottom-up approach. We have grouped Cairn Indias assets into two main categories: core NAV, which is the value of producing assets and those under development, and risked upside which is generated by the value of Cairn Indias exploration and appraisal (E&A) assets on a risked basis. Falling commodity prices, FX appreciation, and project delays are key downside risks to our price target.

Company overview Cathay Financial Holdings (Cathay) is a life insurance-centric financial holding co with a strong franchise in traditional, interest-sensitive and investment-linked products. Cathay Life is the largest insurance company in Taiwan with the most market share. Cathay United Bank is a major private bank in Taiwan focusing on corporate lending and mortgages. Investment case Cathay has greater asset-liability duration mismatch compared to peers. Duration mismatch was a negative factor amid a declining rate environment to further exacerbate negative spread issues but now becomes a potential positive if market yields start to move up, in that Cathay will likely be able to re-price its asset yields faster than its peers. Resilience of the growth outlook Looking into 2014, we expect banking operations to remain stable with growing contributions from overseas operations (both in China and ASEAN) and solid asset quality. Continued improvement on cost of liability, FYP mix, and new money yields should gradually enhance the profitability of life operations, in our view.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Upside risks: Continued and smooth rebound on market yields; sharp NTD depreciation from current levels; strategic alliance with Mainland financial institution. Downside risks: Strong NTD appreciation to drive up hedging costs; sharp stock market correction to result in very large unrealized MTM losses, putting pressure on capital position; unexpected default of large syndication at banking subsidiary operating expenses. Price target, and risks to our investment view Despite a strong rally of 48% YTD (outperforming financial index/TAIEX by 30%/41%). Cathay is still trading at a 25-45% discount to its long-term average P/BV and P/EV with an improving operating outlook and easing dilution concerns. We are OW on the stock with a SOTP Dec-14 PT at NT$50.8, equivalent to 2.1x BV (FY14E). Risks to our price target are discussed above.

Company overview CK is a HK and China developer focusing mainly on residential properties. It also has a portfolio of commercial properties for collecting rental. CK is also the parent company of a globally diversified conglomerate, Hutchison Whampoa (Hutch). Through its holding in Hutch, the groups operations span over container ports, infrastructure, retail, energy and telecom. Investment case CK is one of the few developers in HK to be least affected by expected downturn in the residential market. CKs business model is to focus on asset turnover. Its track record demonstrated it always manages to sell products throughout cycles. Although CK's margins are generally lower than competitors, it is consistently focusing on large scale residential projects by partnering with MTRC. Those large scale projects can normally offset the impact of lower margins. In a potential property downturn in 2014, we believe CK will stand out as a winner to dominate news flow of new project launches. Resilience of the growth outlook The resilience of CKs earnings is sustained by its high asset turnover business model in residential development. The group has also proven to be a willing asset seller when valuation is at a satisfactory level. This has always helped to surprise earnings on the upside. However, Hutch accounts for 48% of CKs NAV and 67% of its earnings in FY14E. Hutchs earnings are resilient given its diversification, and we expect it to provide strong support to CK's earnings. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 We believe all good things supporting Asian asset prices in the last 4 years are coming to an end and 2014 may mark the beginning of an asset deflation cycle. We expect residential prices to decline in 2014. Key risk is deflation expectation in property market might totally dry up primary sales as quasi-investment demand diminishes. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun-14 PT of HK$124 is based on 38% discount to NAV for CK's property stub, being 0.5 s.d. below LT avg discount, and Hutchison at current share price. It is currently trading at a stub discount to NAV of 49% which makes it one of the cheapest among the property developers (pls refer to NAV breakdown). We believe the largest risk to our view is a wholesale de-rating of the property sector in a worse than expected deflationary environment.

Company overview CCB is the second largest bank in China with nearly 11.3% market share in domestic deposits end-1H13. It had 14,295 branches across China at end-1H13. It was originally the financing arm of the Ministry of Finance, and became a financial institution in 1979. Since the late 1990s, the government took initiatives to strengthen the bank's capital base and improve its asset quality. Post financial restructuring and reform, the bank was listed in Hong Kong in Oct. 2005. Investment case We have an OW rating on CCB based on the following: a) CCB is one of the largest banks in China with a strong franchise in deposits, loans and fee business; b) CCB's loan deposits ratio was 69.1% end 3Q13, significantly below the regulatory cap of 75%, the liquid balance sheet enables it to have stable balance sheet growth, more resilient NIM and lower risk profile; c) CCB is very prudent in terms of risk management its NPL ratio and loan loss reserve was 0.98% and 267.9% respectively at end-3Q13. As loan loss reserve was higher than the required 2.5%, CCB sees lower pressure on provisioning. Resilience of the growth outlook We believe that the key challenges for China banks going forward will be interest rate liberalization, further regulatory tightening on shadow banking and asset quality concern. CCBs strong deposits franchise, particularly on the retail front, positions it better than peers in a rising funding costs environment due to more fierce competition for deposits. In addition, as CCB is relatively more prudent in terms of wealth management and interbank business, it sees lower regulatory and credit risks related to these business than some of its peers. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 These include: a) worse than expected asset quality deterioration due to slower than expected macro growth; b) more severe than expected NIM contraction due to faster than expected liberalization process on interest rates; c) lower-than-expected fee income due to regulatory actions on fee charges and innovative financial products; Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of HKD7.90 is based on a DDM-derived model with cost of equity of 13.7%, normalised ROE of 14% and fair value P/B of 1.06x. Downside risks to our investment view will be mainly from unexpected changes in: a) regulatory environments, b) monetary policy, and c) structural reforms in China.

Company overview China Longyuan Power (Longyuan) is the largest and the most established wind farm operator in China. Longyuan designs, develops, manages and operates wind farms and sells the electricity to the power grid. Longyuan Power is a subsidiary of the state-owned China Guodian Corporation, responsible for Guodian's renewable energy assets. As at end of Dec 2012, Longyuan had a total consolidated installed capacity of 12.7GW, of which 10.5GW is from wind power business. Investment case As the largest and the most established wind farm operator in China, Longyuan benefits from the Governments continued support on environmental protection. With firmer commitment by the Grid on taking on wind power and increased infrastructure development on UHV lines, Longyuan's wind farm utilization will likely continue to improve. New opportunities in solar farm projects following recent Government policy changes will offer more positive surprises to the market. Resilience of the growth outlook The companys growth outlook should be very resilient, irrespective of the macro economy thanks to government policies, and the expected improvement in grid infrastructure over the next few years, along with the grid's increased commitment to take on more wind power. As such, wind farm utilization will continue to improve over time, along with wind farm capacity additions. In addition, we expect more new opportunities from solar farms. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Risks to 2014 earnings outlook include (1) less-than-expected government support (e.g. tariff cut), (2) less-than-expected wind resources in 2014, (3) potential wind tariff cuts which will affect returns on new wind projects. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our June-14 price target of HK$9.80 is based upon sum-of the parts valuation which is broken down into three parts wind power projects (including both existing and new ones), coal-related business and an offsetting net debt factor. The stock would trade at 15.4x 2014E PER and 1.8x 2014E PBR on our PT. Risk to our PT includes lower-than-expected utilization hours in provinces with grid connection problems such as Inner Mongolia and NE China.

Company overview Mengniu is a leading dairy producer in China. Its major products include liquid milk product and ice cream. In 1H13, it ranked No.1 in market share in the sectors of liquid milk, UHT and chilled products in China dairy industry, according to AC Nielson data. Investment case We highlight Mengniu as our top pick in the China Staples space given: 1) Mengniu is positioned in a growth segment with low competitive intensity ii) product mix is driving margin expansion iii) strong market share gains expected in IMF segment iv) strong ties with Danone. While 2H13 earnings are likely to have a short term hiccup given raw milk cost increases, we would use this as a buying opportunity as long term drivers (as detailed above) are intact. We expect 15% earnings growth and 36% for FY13/ FY14 respectively. Resilience of the growth outlook We continue to expect DD growth in the dairy sector from 2013F to 2017F. Urbanization trends and our deep dive into expenditure patterns shows that all food sub-categories are on a decreasing trend as a percentage of the average Chinese household consumption expenditure except for Dairy (and Dried and Fresh Fruits and dining out) which is on an increasing trend. We are also positive on the companys strategy to focus on higher end products (resulting in margin expansion barring any raw milk cost spikes), and continuous improvement in upstream and strong backing by parents Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 If the raw milk supply crunch sustains longer than expected, ASP increases/ mix shifts may not be able to fully offset raw milk cost spikes. Raw milk supply cap may also cap sales growth. Our expectation is for raw milk prices to increase MSD (with supply/demand situation stabilizing in FY14 from continuing investments in dairy farms and normalizing weather), and margin expansion to resume in 2014. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT is HK$38.1. We value Mengniu at 27x 1-yr forward earnings estimates which is pegged to historical mean. Key risks to our price target are higherthan-expected A&P spending, shortage of raw milk supply in China and slower momentum in Mengnius high-end products.

Company overview China Overseas Land & Investment (COLI) is a red-chip company controlled by China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC), the largest state-owned construction company in China, listed on the A-share market in July 2009. COLI was established in 1979 and listed in 1992. The group is principally engaged in property development and investment in China and Hong Kong. Investment case We believe COLI can maintain above-peer margins and hence high ROE. The company achieved Rmb88 bn contracted sales in 9M2013, and we expect full-year sales to be Rmb109 bn, 15% higher than the companys target. The potential injection from parent company CSCEC (601668.SS) will likely be NAV accretive to COLI due to numerous synergies it could bring, including: 1) brand premium, given COLIs much stronger brand than CSCEC and 2) economies of scale, as COLIs average monthly sales are more than three times those of CSCEC. We think COLI can create more value in these projects than CSCEC, and the injection is a mid-term catalyst, in our view. Resilience of the growth outlook Since January 17, 2013, COLI has performed in line with MSCI China and has underperformed large-cap developers by 3%. With the sector trending to a more stable policy outlook, earnings growth set to continue and with the injection being a mid-term catalyst, we believe COLI should gradually re-rate. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 COLIs strong sales performance was mainly due to a high sell-through rate rather than abundant sellable resources. Without a change in development plan or asset injection from the parent company, COLI might find it difficult to achieve another 20% growth in 2014 given a lack of landbank and sellable resources. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of HK$27.00 per share is based on 9.5x 2014E P/E, which is among the highest in the industry due to its SOE nature and lower cash flow risk. Key downside risks are restrictive policy on property, tightening in mortgages and delay in asset injection.

Company overview China Resources Power is a flagship subsidiary of China Resources (Holdings) Company Limited, engaged in the investment, development, operation and management of power plants. As of 30 June 2013, total attributable operational generation capacity of the company is 26,062MW. Investment case Our bullish investment case rests on our expectation that coal price will remain at low levels over the next 1-2 years, according to our Coal Team. And with IPP tariffs remaining relatively stable, China IPPs will likely have more stable and predictable earnings. This is very different from the past 5-8 years, where earnings were very volatile, depending on coal price movements. In particular, CR Power can deliver positive free cash flows thanks to their strong return-based investment discipline. Along with the other businesses (e.g., wind farms), we expect CR Power to deliver very stable earnings growth going forward. Accordingly, we believe the entire sector should enjoy further re-rating. Resilience of the growth outlook CRP's growth profile does not depend largely on new coal-fired capacity rollout. Rather, stabilizing coal prices and continued wind farm expansion are the key underlying drivers for future growth. The only segment which might tie in more to the overall macro condition is its coal mine business. But we only assume <10% of earnings contributions from this area. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Risks to 2014 earnings include: (1) further decline in its coal production resulting from China's slower-than-expected economic recovery, which in turn resulted in a fall in demand for thermal coal, and (2) negative impacts on its management and business in case of unfavorable litigation results. Price target and risks to our investment view Our June-14 PT of HK$23.5 is based on a 10-year DCF assuming a WACC of 8.4% plus a 15% discount in light of recent litigations. Our DCF assumes long-term average power demand growth of 3% pa. The stock would trade at 9.9x 2014E PER and 1.6x 2014E PBR on our PT. Downside risks to our rating and PT include: (1) spot coal spike in light of railway transportation disruption, (2) higher-than-expected further tariff cuts based on coal-cost pass-through mechanism, and (3) contract coal elimination.

Company overview China Shenhua Energy (Shenhua) is Chinas largest integrated coal-based energy company with coal production of 304Mt in 2012. The company is unique in the domestic coal market with a vertically integrated mine-rail-port network to sell coal products primarily domestic customers and its own power generation business. Its main shareholder is its state-owned parent company Shenhua Group (73%). Investment case With a robust organic growth outlook (+5% coal output growth in 2014-15E) and its own IPP business, Shenhua provides a relatively defensive coal exposure. We forecast a resilient profit outlook (FY14 NPAT -6% yoy). We view Shenhua as attractively valued against historical P/E and yield with likely catalysts being parent asset injections. Resilience of the growth outlook Shenhua's defensive attributes as an integrated, high-quality, low-cost coal to energy play has already been reflected in a more resilient earnings performance this year, relative to its sector peers. We forecast FY14 earnings to fall 6% driven largely by lower coal prices, this is 8% below consensus estimates. In a low growth environment, Shenhuas growth is organic expansion plans in its coal and infrastructure assets. Beyond this, parent asset injections can potentially add another 100mtpa of coal output. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Key upside risks to earnings lies in tighter-than-expected coal markets a 5% change in coal prices and power tariffs impacts FY14E EBITDA by 6.4% and 4.0%, respectively. With an under-utilized balance sheet, Shenhua is also strongly positioned to grow both organically and through acquisitions. Containing cost pressures and delivery of mine growth are key downside risks to earnings. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 price target for Shenhua-H is HK$26.50/share assuming a 10x P/E based on a blended average of NPV, PB-ROE and earnings multiples. Key downside risks include lower-than-expected coal price and power tariffs, slower volume growth.

Company overview CSC was spun off from China Overseas Land in 2005 and is the one of the largest contractors in Hong Kong and Macau. The company expanded into the Chinese construction market in 2008 and also invested in Chinese infrastructure projects starting in 2009. The company is transforming itself from a construction company into a construction service and infrastructure BOT company. Investment case CSC signed HK$18.3bn in BT projects (a run rate that is 16% ahead of our FY13 estimate of HK$21bn) and HK$22.3bn in cash contracts (a run rate that is 18% ahead of our FY13 estimate of HK$25.2bn) from Jan-13 to Sept-13. We estimate a total of HK$55bn will be signed in 2014. The current unfinished project backlog of HK$79bn underpins revenues until the end of 2015 (our FY12-15E sales CAGR is 32%). Resilience of the growth outlook The company has indicated that it has received more than HK$2.6bn in cash related to BT projects since the start of the BT business, and five of these payments have been in advance of the due date. So far, there have been no delinquent payments or bad debts related to the BT program. While the incoming cash is still only a small proportion of the cash outflow related to the ongoing construction of BT projects, we believe there will be significant cash inflows to nearly balance cash outflows after Dec-14. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Concerns about the need for new equity was heightened by the cash needs of the new Novo-Taipa property development, where CSCs 29% stake requires a HK$2bn upfront investment in the property (to be paid in 4Q13), as well as ongoing construction costs (FY13-15E) of HK$2bn. Payment for the land itself would leave CSC with a net debt-to-equity level of around 33% (J.P. Morgan estimate), below the 40% management has said was a comfortable level for CSC. Price target, and risks to our investment view CSC trades at a 17.3x FY13E P/E and an EPS CAGR of 26% (FY13-15E). Our DCF-based PT (Dec-14; g: 3%; beta: 1.3) of HK$19.0 implies a FY15E P/E of 16.3x (about 1.6 standard deviations from its five-year average forward P/E), but we believe this multiple is justified by the higher profitability of new BT projects. Key downside risks to our price target include falling construction activity in China, lower-than-expected returns on long-term projects in China and a shortage of workers or a hike in raw materials, which could crimp margins.

Company overview Chow Tai Fook is a leading jewellery and watch retailer in the Greater China region. Jewellery sales represent c93% of sales with the remainder coming from watch sales. It retails mass luxury and high-end luxury jewellery products including gem-set jewellery, platinum/karat gold products, gold products and watches. It has an extensive retail network, with 1,743 jewellery POS and 93 watch POS as of Mar-13. With its 80-year heritage, Chow Tai Fook ranks #1 in the jewellery retail industry in the PRC with 14.4% market share and in Hong Kong and Macau with 21.4% market share, according to Frost & Sullivan. Investment case While we are concerned about structural challenges facing discretionary names in China (ecommerce/changes in distribution channels/pressure on pricing as consumer awareness improves), we believe jewellery is one segment which is relatively immune from these challenges. We do not expect any risks to CTF's product prices or margins on the back of these. We are looking for 15% revenue growth (9% driven by SSSG) and 18% earnings growth in FY ending Mar-15. Resilience of the growth outlook 2013 has been an important year for CTF as we saw a notable decline in the gold price but volumes more than compensated for the price decline. We believe for the next 2-3 years CTF's earnings growth will be supported by SSSG and expansion. Beyond that the expansion component will likely be limited, but product mix improvement is likely to be more important as gem sets share out of total sales increase. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 While we do not see any major risk from structural challenges, further weakening in discretionary spending (though we believe this has bottomed out) or a prolonged decline in the gold price for the entire year could pose risks to 2014 earnings. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Mar-15 PT is HK$13.5 based on 1x PEG and a 16% 2-yr earnings CAGR post Mar-15. Main risks to our view are a sudden slowdown in gem set sales, inability to keep cost-plus model, and unexpected pressure on margins from promotions and costs.

Company overview CJ O Shopping is the second-largest home shopping company in Korea, with roughly 24% market share. CJ O Shopping generates around 60% of its revenue from Cable TV, 30% from the Internet, and the remainder from Catalogue and Others. It also owns CJ Hellovision and Dongfang CJ of China. Investment case Home shopping is one of our preferred retail channels in the Korea retail market. Home shopping provides convenience and value, which are two important factors that consumers look for in Korea retail. We believe home shopping sales momentum will be sustained with the emergence of shopping by mobile phone, with an increasing proportion of PB products and accelerating sales from mobile (replacing internet) likely to lead to margin expansion. We expect solid operating profit growth momentum to continue, and we estimate CJ O Shopping will record a 16% CAGR over 2013-15. Resilience of the growth outlook Home shopping has grown at a 19% CAGR over the last four years, representing 3.3% of total retail sales in Korea, up from around 0% in 2007. This rapid growth was mainly due to increased cable TV subscribers and home shopping's unique appeal, differentiating itself from other retail formats. Home shopping offers value, convenience and the introduction of new products on TV, capturing consumer interest. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Downside risks are weaker-than-expected sales growth from TV and higher-thanexpected SO commissions. Also, competition among three major players would likely lead to an increase A&P expenses as companies try to gain market share. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of W430,000 is based on our sum-of-the-parts valuation, which values the home shopping operation in Korea at 12x Dec-14 NOPAT, CJ Hellovision at a 30% discount to market price, Samsung Life Insurance at a 30% discount to J.P. Morgans PT and Dongfang CJ at a 25x Jun-14 P/E. For the home shopping operation, we expect the stock to re-rate in view of 1) a moderated SO commission increase, and 2) our expectation that the competition will not get worse from here.

CCL.AX,CCL AU Price: A$12.25 Price Target: A$13.30
Company overview CCL is the licensed bottler for The Coca Cola Company in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. CCL also owns the Mount Franklin, Deep Spring and Kirks brands and distributes Rekorderlig ciders and the Beam spirit portfolio. From mid Dec-13, CCL will distribute Samuel Adams and Molson premium beers. CCL also owns an Australian packaged fruit and vegetables business (SPCA). Investment case We believe that the consensus view that CCL's model is broken due to a structural shift from its products toward healthier beverages is flawed given non-grocery CSD volumes increased in 1H13, grocery CSD volumes returned to growth in the Sept quarter (outperforming the overall beverages market) and CCL has a high share in most beverage categories ex CSDs. With capex moderating, free cash flow will accelerate. Given CCLs undergeared balance sheet, it is likely to increase its payout ratio. Resilience of the growth outlook Given CCLs strong brand equity, evidenced by the 38-50% price premium the brand commands over its main competitor, combined with CCL cycling an easy comp due to a one-off reduction in retailer inventory levels and intense competitive pressures around the launch of Pepsi Next, we believe the growth outlook for CCL is resilient. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Recent results have been impacted by an increase in the frequency and depth of promotional activity from CCLs major competitor. To maintain volume share, CCL reacted which impacted its unit price realisation. While competitive pressures have been more benign to date in 2H13, there is a risk they intensify in 2014, resulting in weak pricing growth. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our 31 December 2014 share price target is A$13.30 (future value of our valuation less dividends) See table over. Downside risks to our price target include: 1) An appreciation of the AUDIDR and AUDNZD; 2) An increase in sugar, aluminium and PET prices; 3) Increased discounting by CCLs competitors; and 4) A weak consumer. environment.

CPALL.BK,CPALL TB Price: Bt38.00 Price Target: Bt50.00
Company overview CPALL is the largest convenience store operator in Thailand and is now the world's third largest 7-Eleven operator behind Japan and Taiwan. Its main competitor Tesco Express has just below 1,000 stores under management. With competition being light, CPALL has continued its plan of opening 500-550 new stores each year and aims to achieve 7,000 stores by YE14. At the end FY12 CPALL had 6,822 7-Eleven stores; 53% are in the provinces and 47% in BKK and suburbs. In mid-2013, the company spent US$6.6bn on a 98% stake in Siam Makro (MAKRO), a leading retailer in cash & carry. Investment case Our positive view on the stock lies on the groups sustainable competitive advantages to maintain its dominant market position in both convenience store and cash & carry businesses. The merger between CPALL and MAKRO will create a retail company that accounts for 45% of the organized grocery retail market in Thailand (19% of the total grocery retail market), emphasizing much strong bargaining power through joint-procurement by the two companies. We also expect MAKRO to gear up its pace of expansion under CPALLs umbrella. Resilience of the growth outlook The convenience store business has proven to be the most resilient retail format through various cycles in the past. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Interest rate rise could increase the interest expense beyond expectation. Operating cost pressure could also be a downside risk to profitability. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun-14 PT of Bt51 is based a combination of DCF and 1x PEG. On the DCF, we assume 8.6% terminal WACC, taking into account 4% RF, 6.5% risk premium, 1x beta with 2% terminal growth rate. Key risk to PT includes capital increase, interest rate uptrend, integration execution and competition.

Company overview CWN operates two integrated casino resorts in Australia, one in Melbourne (Crown Melbourne) and the other in Perth (Burswood). CWN also operates a high end gaming facility in the UK called Aspinalls. CWN also has a 33.5% stake in Melco Crown Entertainment, which operates casinos in Macau and is listed in the US (MPEL). CWN is currently in discussions to develop an integrated casino resort in Sri Lanka. Investment case We estimate the combination of strong cost performance in Australia and ongoing strength in Macau will drive strong EPS growth in FY14. We subsequently believe CWN offers the best risk/return proposition of the Australian listed gaming stocks. Resilience of the growth outlook MPEL provides CWN with exposure to attractive market wide growth in Macau, particularly the faster growing mass segment. We expect this strong growth to continue in 2014 given credit availability to Chinese gamblers and lack of alternate destinations in the region. While the consumer environment remains difficult in Australia, we expect CWN to continue to benefit from its cost savings programme and recent investments in its non-gaming operations. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 The main risks to our earnings forecasts in 2014 are: 1) A slowdown in the Macau gaming market; 2) Worse-than-expected execution on CWNs cost savings programme at Crown Melbourne and Burswood; and 3) a loss of market share in VIP. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our 30 June 2014 PT is A$18.00 (future value of our fundamental valuation, less the dividends to be paid between now and the target date and a 10% holding company discount to the value of MPEL). Key downside risks include: 1) A downturn in consumer spending; 2) Potential adverse changes to the regulatory environment; 3) The threat of new competition; 4) Construction risk of property refurbishments; and 5) Weaker-than-expected macroeconomic conditions in Melbourne, Perth and Macau.

Company overview CSPC Pharmaceuticals Group Ltd. is an investment holding company with subsidiaries that are principally engaged in the manufacture and sale of pharmaceutical products. It operates in three business segments: manufacture and sale of intermediate and bulk drugs, including vitamin C series and caffeine; finished drugs, including innovative drugs such as NBP, Jinyouli, and Yuanning and generics such as OuLaining; and other pharmaceutical related business and development activities. Investment case After acquiring OYY, NBP and XNW from its parent company in October 2012, CSPC Pharma, formerly China Pharmaceutical, has achieved strategic transformation from a manufacturer of bulk medicine products to a provider of innovative drugs and branded generics, which in our opinion has made it one of the more compelling investment opportunities in the China healthcare space. Although we are overall quite cautious on the drug subsector because of policy headwinds including tenders and price cuts, ongoing investigation of GSK, and anti-bribery efforts by the Chinese government, we believe CSPC can withstand policy headwinds better than many of its peers because its strong portfolio of unique innovative and branded generic products provide the company with strong pricing power. In addition, the company's API businesses are shielding CSPC partly from government price control of finished drugs. Resilience of the growth outlook Demand for healthcare products is resilient to economic slowdown. CSPC has a portfolio of finished products, many of which are unique or have few direct competitors, which should allow CSPC to withstand pricing pressure better than most of its peers. Some newly launched products, including Jinyouli and a unique TCM for the treatment of liver fibrosis should add fuel to the companys sustainable growth. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 The greatest risk is if price cuts to the companys key drugs are higher than expected. If Vc ASPs continue to fall, unlikely in our opinion, the company's earnings and growth would also be hurt. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our DCF-based Dec-14 price target of HK$5.5 (WACC 10.6%, terminal growth of 4%, at the low end of the 3-6% growth rate we use for health care stocks) implies a FY14E P/E of 23.9x. Key risks include unexpected sales slowdown for key products and further erosion of VC ASP; unexpected industry-wide slowdown; unexpected safety issues seen with some newer products; and larger than expected sales force turnover.

Company overview DLF is the largest private developer in India with a development pipeline of 310+msf across various cities. In the past, the company has primarily focused on the NCR market, and has been credited with the development of Gurgaon and DLF City Township. The company now has a diversified presence and is currently executing 52msf projects across various cities. Investment case DLF has delivered well on the two key parameters of debt reduction and launch of luxury projects. Phase 5 (Gurgaon) launches have seen strong response even in a weak market. Management expects to return to positive FCF position from next year onwards on the back of these super luxury launches. Debt reduction has partially happened (post IPP/ asset sales) and further reduction is expected based on asset sales in the pipeline. Rental business is well placed to deliver 15-20% pa growth over the next 2-3 years on the back of large retail completions, committed rent escalations and office leasing. Risk reward is favorable at current valuations (P/B 1x), in our view. Resilience of the growth outlook Phase V launches have the potential to turn around the cash flows and earnings for the company. The launched projects (Camilias / Crest) are expected to generate Rs120B+ of pre sales over a 4-5 year period. Margins here will be 70%+ given the historic low cost of land and hence these projects have the potential to generate Rs80B+ EBITDA overall or Rs15-20B annualized. This is against dev. company EBITDA of Rs24B last year. Initial success herein is encouraging and provides visibility on medium term cash flow /earnings growth. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Near-term earnings are likely to be muted due to the transition to new accounting norms of 25% recognition threshold. New high realization launches done over the last year will take 12-18 months to hit the revenue recognition threshold. Any delay in execution of new projects remains the key risk to earnings near term. Price target, and risks to our investment view Maintain Overweight rating with Mar-14 Price Target of Rs 210/share. Our PT is derived from a stabilized cash flow model valuing the development business at 10x and Rent co at 13x cash flow. Key downside risks (a) Slow progress on debt reduction due to delay in closure of non core asset sales; (b) Lower than expected pre sale performance and (c) Tight liquidity and any material de rating in macro fundamentals.

Company overview Dr. Reddys Laboratories (DRRD) is engaged in the manufacture and distribution of pharmaceutical products by way of finished dosage forms, active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates and bio-technology products. DRRDs activities also include research of new molecular entities, providing customised pharmaceutical services in-licensed patented dermatology products. Investment case DRRDs recent approval and filings for complex generics underline the companys focus on transition to growth driven by its niche product portfolio in the US. In our view, DRRDs US revenue will improve over the next few quarters aided by approvals of its limited competition complex generics. DRRDs performance in Russia is expected to remain strong in a challenging environment and the potential launch of bio-similars in the market remains a key medium term driver, in our view. Resilience of the growth outlook US business growth in medium-term would be driven by approvals for limited competition products, in our view. The company is ahead of its peers in transitioning into complex generic product with the approval of key products over the last few months. DRRD is likely to maintain the US growth trajectory aided by the ramp up of injectable and new launches (10-15 launches expected in FY14E). We expect R&D to remain elevated, but increasing shift toward complex generic and emerging market (Russia/CIS) growth should help offset some of the margin pressure in the near term. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Our investment thesis is predicated on product launches based on timely approvals of its filing by the regulatory authority. Any delay in approvals by regulatory authorities could impact earnings growth in key geographies. US and Russia revenue growth are key drivers for margin expansion in the medium term and slowdown in growth could impact EBITDA margins of the company. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Sep-14 price target of Rs2800 based on SOTP (core business valued at Rs2607 at 20x Mar-15E P/E, in-line with domestic peer group and FTF/complex products at Rs64/share). Key downside risks include any potential regulatory issues (USFDA related/Russia), delays in product launches in the US and adverse foreign exchange fluctuation.

Company overview Evergreen Marine Corp (EMC) is part of the worlds fourth-largest container shipping group Evergreen Line (source: Alphaliner), which operates 200 vessels with a total capacity of about 791,000 TEU. The consolidated listed company, EMC, and the subsidiaries, Evergreen Marine (UK) Ltd and Greencompass Marine (GMS), contribute about 50% of group capacity. Investment case We expect the supply-demand of the container shipping sector to reach balance in 2015 and suggest investors revisit the sector in 2014, ahead of the cycle recovery. EMC is our top pick because it is not just riding the cycle recovery, but better positioned than peers due to its: (1) healthy balance with low gearing (about 30% net debt-to-equity vs. the sector average of 146%); (2) savvy procurement of new vessels during the downturn (2010-2012) with low shipbuilding costs; and (3) deliveries of eco-vessels in 2013-15 to stay cost competitive. Resilience of the growth outlook We expect EMC to deliver Y/Y revenue growth of 17% in FY14 and FY14 net income of NT$3.9B, up 335% Y/Y. Growth should be driven by 18% capacity growth in 2014, about 20% fuel efficiency cost savings from 15 new vessel deliveries over 2013-2015 and about 43% revenue exposure in transpacific trades, where the rates are more benign than in other routes. Longer-term, the potential success of the P3 network will likely favor big players like EMC and marginalize small shippers. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Nominal supply growth will remain substantial in 2014, which may continue hampering freight rates. If shippers fail to rationalize capacity, freight rates will likely stay at low levels. Rising fuel prices also represent another swing factor to profitability. Price target, and risks to our investment view We remain OW on EMC with a Jun-14 price target of NT$22, based on 1.2x FY14E BVPS of NT$18.4, equivalent to one standard deviation above its historical average valuation. Because EMC is a cyclical stock, we believe P/B is a relevant methodology. Downside risks to our price target include: (1) weak loading volume growth; (2) prolonged sector oversupply, which would bring pressure to rate hikes; and (3) the likelihood of participating in a fundraising plan for group affiliates.

Company overview Ezion Holdings specializes in the development, ownership and chartering of strategic offshore assets and the provision of offshore marine logistics and support services to the offshore oil and gas industry. Its two business segments are: 1) offshore logistics support vessel services: Ezion is involved in oil & gas related logistics support and 2) Liftboats & Service Rigs: Ezion provides liftboats/service rigs to the offshore oil & gas industry. Investment case We remain Overweight on Ezion as we expect strong liftboat demand due to aging platforms and increasing offshore construction activity Ezion liftboat fleet is backed by bareboat charters worth over US$1bn which is set to see a nearly 70% earnings growth into 2014E. We also see Ezions separate listing of its marine base as potential value unlocking with potential earnings of US$7-10mn in FY14E. Among asset owners in Singapore, Ezion stands out to be one of the cheapest stocks at an FY14E P/E of ~9x currently. Resilience of the growth outlook We remain confident on our outlook on Ezion due to a) Ezions unique position in liftboats/service rig segments where the number of players is comparatively low b) strong liftboat demand due to higher offshore activity. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Risks to earnings outlook include a) rising gearing and higher interest expense as the company looks to raise cash b) declining margins if competition increases in this space. Price target, and risks to our investment view Dec-14 PT of S$2.60 based on SOTP of: 1) liftboat/service rigs fleet, 2) offshore logistics fleet for LNG projects in Australia (12x P/E), 3) remaining offshore logistics fleet (10x P/E) and 4) option value associated additional order wins. For the liftboat/service rigs segment, we have valued each asset based on its cash flows over a period of 15 years for "newbuild" Liftboats (Depreciation life = 25 years) and 10 years (Depreciation life = 10-20 years) for Service Rigs. Risks: 1) rising gearing, 2) capital needs to expand, 3) limited barriers to entry and 4) yard delivery delays which may delay earnings.

Company overview FMG is one of the worlds largest iron ore producers with operations based in Western Australia. The company is currently producing around 115Mtpa rate, ramping up to 155Mtpa in December 2013. Investment case We continue to rate FMG as one of our top picks amongst the Australian miners with the stock likely to re-rate materially over the next 12 months based on: 1) operations ramping up to a 155Mtpa rate, 2) increased FCF as the company goes ex-growth capex, and 3) decreased net debt, with the company already generating positive FCF. Resilience of the growth outlook FMGs ability to withstand commodity price volatility is increasingly improving given it is now ex-growth capex and commissioning to 155Mtpa is imminent. Coupled with its improving FCF profile, FMGs gearing will reduce significantly in the near-term. Risk to the earnings outlook in 2014 The main risk lies in the trajectory of the iron ore price and the A$, given the impact on revenue and costs, respectively. A 10% increase in our iron ore or A$ forecast would result in +18% and -6% change to earnings. FMG has also maintained FY14 guidance including: 1) capex of US$1.9bn, 2) shipments of 127-133Mt, and 3) C1 costs of US$36-38/t. FMG continues to target a 155Mtpa rate by the end of Dec-13, with steady state reached post the 1QCY14 wet season. Price target, and risks to our investment view We maintain our Overweight rating on FMG due to: 1) attractive valuation metrics, 2) ramp-up risk diminishing as projects approach completion, and 3) increased free cash flow as FMG goes ex-growth. Our Jun-14 target price of A$6.60ps is set equal to our DCF valuation, rounded to the nearest five cents (refer to datasheet). The key downside risks to our target price relate to lower realized outcomes for iron ore price, higher costs, higher capex, and disappointing ramp-up of expansion relative to our expectations.

Company overview Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical Group is a Shanghai-based company engaged in R&D, manufacture, distribution and retailing of healthcare products. The Groups principal products include pharmaceuticals for malaria and liver inflammation; gynecological diseases; and for diabetes. The Group also operates drugstore chains. It distributes products primarily in the domestic and overseas markets. The company owns about 32.1% of Sinopharm, the largest medical product distributor in China. By entering into a strategic collaboration with Chindex and taking major stakes in two private hospitals, Fosun Pharma has extended its services offerings to the hospital services sector. Investment case Fosun is a leading Chinese healthcare company with business operations covering most of the important segments in the healthcare industry value chain. The Group has expanded rapidly through organic growth, M&A and strategic investments. The company owns about 30% of Sinopharm, which forms part of Fosuns core valuation. It has recently vastly expanded its manufacturing operations through aggressive acquisitions, including Jinzhou Aohong, which produces Aodejin, a top-5 best selling prescription drugs in China. It has also aggressively been amassing hospital services assets, which allows the company to play in a potentially very lucrative space. Resilience of the growth outlook Demand for healthcare products is resilient to economic slowdown. The company is expected to complement organic growth with acquisitions and newly acquired hospitals and other businesses should contribute on a full-year basis in 2014. The exposure in other subsectors makes Fosun less susceptible to expected price cuts for drugs through tenders in 2014. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 The greatest risk is higher than expected price cuts for the companys key drugs. Unfavorable market conditions may cut the companys investment gains associated with disposal of PE assets. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our PT (Dec-14, DCF-derived) of HK$22.5 (WACC 10.2%, terminal growth 5%, the high end of the 3-6% growth rate we use for health care stocks) implies 2014E P/E of 20.2x. Key risks to our rating and PT include 1) Unfavorable government policies on prices of healthcare products and services. 2) Failure to gain from any future M&A transactions in terms of yield synergies and growth. 3) Difficulty in exiting minority investments due to unfavorable market conditions. 4) Unexpected further delays in the launch of human insulin. 5) Penetrating into private healthcare services and realizing target returns proving exceedingly difficult.

Company overview Gamudas core business is its engineering and construction division, with capable heavy engineering skillsets, particularly in tunnelling. Other businesses include toll concessions - KESAS, LITRAK, SPRINT, and Indias Durgapur and Panagarh Palsit Highway. Also owns water concession SPLASH (water O&M company, Gamuda Water). Established township developments in Malaysia, making inroads into Vietnam. Investment case Gamuda is poised to be the key beneficiary of the govts M$160B rail-related infrastructure spending given its superior heavy engineering skillsets and large scale project interface capabilities. First mover advantage for the Klang Valley MRT project. Line 1 in the bag, with Line 2 next pending govt approval. Eventual sale of SPLASH water concession could lead to special dividends of M$0.32/share. Potential for remaining concession assets injection into a Business Trust to unlock value. Resilience of the growth outlook Recurring concession earnings anchor a third of earnings. Construction earnings driven by locked in construction order book of M$10B, while property earnings are driven by unbilled property sales of M$1.5B. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 The hike in Real Property Gains Tax announced in Budget 2014 and foreign minimum thresholds could curtail property demand growth, especially in Iskandar Malaysia. Greater than expected delays in infrastructure project rollouts, and higher than expected increase in building material costs could negatively affect earnings outlook. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec14 SoTP-based PT of M$5.50 assumes 18x P/E on CY15 construction earnings, in line with historical average. Property division is valued based on16x P/E on CY15 property earnings, in line with implied sector average target P/E, at 10% discount. Gamudas 45.8% stake in highway concessionaire Litrak (LTK MK) is marked-to-market at M$4.40/share. Other concessions are valued based on DCF at WACC of 9%, while Indian toll concessions are based on WACC of 15.4%. Downside risks emanate from project execution, delays in project awards, sharp spikes in building material costs that affect margins, and lower than expected property sales.

Company overview Geely Automobile is among the top local branded auto producers in China. It is engaged in the production and sale of small cars in China. Unlike most of its domestic peers, Geely is not just an assembler, but also an integrated auto manufacturer. Investment case 1) Localization of selective Volvo models, including S60L sedan at Chengdu plant (70% owned by Geely parent) and XC90 SUV at Daqing plant (50% owned by Geely parent). Once the operations turn profitable, we believe likely in 2H14 or after, Geely parent is expected to inject the asset into the listco at fair market value. 2) Rebranding and enhancing dealer efficiency (e.g. avg per store sales should rise by ~10% in 2014E from current ~360-380 units p.a.) with new sales& marketing head joined recently from GM. Resilience of the growth outlook Government grants have been a concern for investors on Geely's earnings quality, although we would argue that subsidy itself is not free money and a large part of it is related to expansion or R&D. We forecast Geely's core auto earnings, on a pretax level, if simply stripping out the subsidy, could top Rmb4.4bn, leading to PAT after minority of Rmb3.45bn in 2014E. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 1) Lower-than-expected sales volume of Geelys sedan and SUV businesses, and 2) lower-than-expected margins on heightening competitive pressure along with oversupply in the passenger vehicle sector in 2014E leading to a worse-than-expected price war. Price target, and risks to our investment view We maintain OW on Geely with a PT of HK$7.5 (June-14) based on 13.5x forward PER or the higher end of its historical trading band, but in line with Great Wall Motor when it was re-rated back in 2009-11 when the PER multiple expanded from 5x to 18x. Considering Geelys strong model line-ups in both sedan and SUV business and JV development with Volvo in 2014, we believe our PT is achievable. Risks include: Slower-than-expected development and cooperation with Volvo Car is another potential swing to the companys longer-term profitability and share price performance.

GENP.KL,GENP MK Price: M$11.00 Price Target: M$12.60
Company overview Genting Plantations (GENP) is a listed plantation entity, of which 54% is owned by Genting Bhd. GENP has 59,623ha of planted land bank in Malaysia and 55,816ha in Indonesia. Its JV in Indonesia since 2005/06 has rapidly accumulated 162,741ha of plantation land in the region. Investment case GENPs Indonesian estates have rapidly expanded since 2005 and we expect it to double its planted area to about 120,000ha within the next four years exceeding its Malaysia planted area. Hence, we expect a doubling in production growth from maturing Indonesian estates in four years just as the 2013 crop comes into its maiden harvest. GENP may also benefit from Iskandar exposure due to the rising demand for properties in the area and potential opportunistic conversion of ageing plantation land. Resilience of the growth outlook GENP has doubled its planted area to 120,656ha following six straight years of aggressive new plantings in Indonesia. We expect Indonesian FFB output to improve from 6% of total FFB production in FY12 to 15% in FY13E and 18% in FY14E. This would help GENP double current FFB production levels by FY16E. Commissioning of new mills in Kalimantan would allow more value extraction from its own FFB harvest into CPO to third-parties from FY13. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 include regulatory hurdles in Indonesia that reduces new planting pace; concentrated exposure to Kalimantan; and cost overruns on newly planted estates. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14E PT of M$12.60 is based on a sum-of-the-parts, valuing the plantation business at 22x FY14 P/E, in line with the P/E for KLK's plantations business given the presence of growth drivers for both companies in Indonesia, and property at 1.5x P/B. Key downside risks are a further decline in CPO prices and sub-optimal yield performance.

Company overview Global Logistics Properties Limited (GLP) is a leading provider of modern logistics facilities in China, Japan and Brazil. GLP develops, owns, manages and leases out a portfolio of 578 completed logistics facilities in China, Japan and Brazil with a total GFA of 21.4million sqm, and has a development pipeline of 6.5million sqm. Investment case Leasing momentum for China continues to remain strong despite subdued 1QFY14 leasing numbers, with a notable pickup in leasing announcements in 2QFY14. With the group delivering on its capital recycling plan in Japan, the market will focus on its growth progress in China, in our view. We also note that after several quarters of consolidation, demand from e-commerce platforms in China has picked up recently. Resilience of the growth outlook Growth in China e-commerce remains a key demand driver for GLP, with long-term sectoral growth remaining intact in our view. Based on our research from our Consumer analyst Shen Li, the level of e-commerce penetration in China has reached 9% from 2% over the last 3.5 years, and will continue to take market share. Ecommerce currently represents 20% of lease area in China.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Key risks to the earnings outlook would include the groups inability to meet our expectations of 2million sqm China completions in FY14, and also lower-thanexpected earnings contributions from its China, Japan and Brazil joint ventures. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun-14 price target of S$3.15 is based on our FY15E SOP (net asset value S$2.42/share; AUM business S$0.22/share, or 20x current year fee earnings; the portfolio intangible value is S$0.48/share, or 20% premium over the net tangible value. Key downside risks include: 1) volatility in JPY and RMB that could swing the group's net profit and net asset value in USD; 2) unexpected period with soft leasing activities that could result in GLP cutting back on development and investment, and 3) inability to deploy the groups surplus capital accretively.

Company overview Golden Agri-Resources is the world's second largest oil palm plantation company with a total planted area of over 400,000 hectares located in Indonesia. It is involved in both upstream cultivation and downstream refining. GAR also operates in China through an integrated deep sea port, storage, oil-seed crushing facilities and refinery facilities in Ningbo and Zhuhai. Investment case Management has maintained its 5-10% production growth guidance despite flat production trend in 1H13 signaling the potential of strong pick up in 2H13. We forecast a strong c.8% growth in nucleus FFB and CPO production for FY14E translating into a Y/Y sales and EPS growth of 25% and 53%, respectively. We also expect GGR to be the biggest beneficiary amongst the Singapore planters of the IDR depreciation in 3Q13, primarily via its lower operating expenses which is c.70% IDR-denominated. Resilience of the growth outlook Besides a recovery from the tree stress due to dryness of weather this year, production kicker should also come from the c.16000 ha of mature area acquired in end-2012 experiencing yield improvement after it comes under the management of the Group. We also expect earnings of its China operations to improve as trading capabilities get boosted by earlier management team hires. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 (1) Any hiccups in the implementation of B10 program in Indonesia, smooth implementation of which is expected to augment CPO demand and strengthen prices; (2) Under recovery in FFB/CPO production, assumed on the back of improving yields. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT for GAR is based on 14x FY14E P/E which is in line with historical mean. Our PT implies P/E multiples of 22.0x/14.3x and dividend yields of 1.4%/2.1% for FY13E/14E. Key downside risks to our PT include weaker than expected CPO demand and higher than expected output which can depress CPO prices.

Company overview Guangzhou Auto is the sixth-largest auto producer in China. It mainly produces and sells passenger vehicles through its GAC Toyota JV, Guangqi Honda JV, as well as Mitsubishi and Fiat JVs, and commercial vehicles through its GAC Bus and GAC Hino business. Investment case GACs model cycle has just started in 2H13, first by the launch of Honda Crider sedan in June-13, followed by whole new Honda Accord in Sep-13. Into 2014-15E, GAC is expected to introduce another 12 new or major redesigned models from its JVs, including Toyota, Mitsubishi, Fiat and Honda. A strong model cycle should bring GAC's bottom line to Rmb4.3bn in 2014 based on our forecast (or 12% above consensus), a level similar to 2011 or more than triple from only Rmb1.1bn in 2012. Resilience of the growth outlook Key potential catalysts include: 1) strong 3Q13 results should lead to consensus earnings upgrades for 2013 and 2014E. We note our 2014E estimate is 7% above the Street. 2) New model launches from major JVs into 2014-15E should enhance topline sales and thus contribute to net earnings.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 1) Failure of new model launches in 2014; 2) worse-than-expected sales from major JVs; 3) worse-than-anticipated turnaround of GACs own brand business, and 4) worse-than-expected demand in the overall market. Price target, and risks to our investment view We are Overweight on GAC with a June-2014 PT of HK$12, based on 14x forward PER (high end of its own historical trading range) and DCF analysis (key assumptions include risk free rate 5%, risk premium 6%, beta 1.2 and terminal growth 2%). With a strong model cycle and potential consensus earnings upgrades, we believe a re-rating is possible on the stock and its strong 3Q13 result is a support of our thesis. Risks include: lower-than-expected profit contribution from major JV businesses such as GAC Toyota, GAC Honda and GAC Mitsubishi due to unexpected tension between China and Japan.

Company overview HCL Technologies (HCLT) is one of Indias largest IT services vendors, with presence in software services, infrastructure management, and BPO. The company has 85,000+ employees working for 500+ clients. HCL Tech has good leverage to high-growth services, with 33% of its revenues coming from Infra-management. Investment case HCLT has consistently delivered healthy revenue growth along with solid margin expansion over the last 7-8 quarters. Also, HCLT's operating cash flow performance continues to be robust. The company reported deal wins of more than USD 1 billion in each of the last 3 quarters, which provide near-term (CY14) visibility on revenue growth. We expect HCLT to benefit from increase in rebid deals as well. Our only concern is the lop-sided nature of revenue growth as infra-management drives growth solely, while software service business continues to struggle. Resilience of the growth outlook We believe HCLT has healthy revenue growth momentum (particularly in inframanagement) in an improving demand environment. HCLT is also well positioned to benefit from churn in large, legacy rebid deals opening up for renewal in CY14. Also, the strong deal wins over the last 3 quarters provides revenue visibility in CY14. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 The key risks for HCLT' earnings are: weakness in demand environment (particularly discretionary demand); an adverse immigration bill; pricing decline and supply-side pressures; continued weakness in Software Services business. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun-14 price target of INR 1,100 is based on a one-year forward P/E multiple of 13x which embeds a one-year forward valuation discount of ~30% to TCS, which we believe is fair given HCLTs weaker margin profile and return ratios. Downside risks: slowdown in deal ramp-ups and appreciation of the rupee against the USD. Taking on higher-than normal share of lower-margin and/or asset-heavy risky deals could impact operating margins and return ratios, affecting HCLTs valuation.

Company overview Hiwin is the third-largest linear motion vendor in the world, and its products include linear guideway, ball screw and industry robots. Hiwins customers are diversified, with machine tools and IT industry being the two major application areas. Investment case We expect Hiwins sales/profits to bottom in 2014 and grow 20%/50%, respectively, driven by continuous recovery in China and Europe. We believe improving PMI data and rising backlog orders among Taiwan machine tool vendors indicate positive end demand resumption, which bodes well for Hiwins heating growth momentum. Resilience of the growth outlook Industrial robots should emerge as a promising sector for Hiwin in 2014, with noticeable penetration into new customers, as the company has made good progress with a Taiwan foundry leader and a Japan auto front-runner and will start discussions with other vendors soon. EMS/ODMs are also gaining interest in one-station automation due to rising labor costs. Therefore, we believe industrial robots could bring another layer of growth for Hiwin in 2014.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Hiwins earnings might be adversely impacted if the recovery in China and Europe turns out to be weaker than expected. Any hiccups during qualification for industrial robots could also dampen the fast-growing segments contribution to Hiwin. Price target, and risks to our investment view We derive our Jun-14 PT of NT$250 via 20x 2014E EPS, the high end of the historical valuation range. We think the valuation is justified, given: (1) growth expected in 2014 on an economic recovery; and (2) the scarcity of quality names in the Taiwan automation space. Key downside risks to our investment view include: (1) slower-than-expected penetration into Japan; (2) an unsustainable China demand recovery; and (3) a faster-than-expected increase in steel prices.

Company description Hollysys is a leading provider of automation and control technologies and applications in China. Founded in 1993, Hollysys' proprietary technologies are applied in its industrial automation solution suite including Distributed Control System (DCS), Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), RMIS, HAMS, OTS, highspeed railway signaling system of Train Control Center (TCC) and Automatic Train Protection (ATP), and other products, subway supervisory and control platform (SCADA), and nuclear conventional island automation and control system. Investment thesis We see secular growth in industrial automation as Hollysys is well positioned to gain market share from its overseas competitors. The key advantages of Hollysys include strong R&D capabilities, nationwide sales & service network, and management expects 15-20% growth in industrial automation in the medium term. Breakthrough in subway signaling segment would be a key catalyst in FY14 with Hollysys proprietary signaling system being certified. Hollysys is targeting at commercial bidding in Singapore and Malaysia. We expect both revenue and GPM upside in subway segment. Resilience of the growth outlook We believe Hollysyss unparalleled R&D capability will continue to drive revenue growth. Management expects track circuit, positive train control (PTC), subway signaling (CBTC), and factory automation (PLC application) to become meaningful revenue growth drivers in FY14/15. We expect Hollysys to generate 15-20% earnings growth in IA from now till 2020 with a view that growth is primarily driven by market share gain in the selected focus segments. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Risks to earnings could come from an unexpected slowdown in China IA market, or delays in overseas market projects. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun 14 PT of $19 is based on DCF (rfr 5%, WACC 13.6%, beta 1.6) and implies FY14 PER of 15x. Key risks to our price target are an unexpected slowdown in China IA market, or delays in overseas market projects.

Company overview HSBC's international network comprises around 9,500 offices in 86 countries. The acquisition of Household (now HFC) in 2003 has driven up credit losses at HSBC in recent times. A recent decision to place HFC into run-off completes the round trip. A key strength is its trade biased SME business which contributes 1/4th to PPOP. Investment case We continue to like HSBC for its core deposit franchise (LDR: 75%), high capital levels (CE Tier 1: 10.6%), and progressive dividend policy, in a period where revenue growth is still uncertain. The bank has significant potential upside to rising US rates, but until then, continues to drive high RoRWA and reasonable mid-single-digit growth in its core UK and HK franchise. HSBCs EM footprint is likely to face headwinds from rising provisions, but not to a large extent, given its mix of retail, blue chip corporate, and/or transaction banking. Indeed, after a disappointing 2Q result on credit costs in LatAm, 3Q looks much better, with total Group provisions down -18% Q/Q to $1.6bn. Resilience of the growth outlook With cost/income at 57% underlying, were willing to stick by a capital + steady growth story at a time when EM asset quality is increasingly in question. We still see 10-11% ROEs in the next few years, although this could increase based on non-core rundown (with US book to halve in the next three years); increased capital deployment to EM vs DM businesses (70% vs. 30%); and capital management via buybacks. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Our earning estimates would be affected from 1) potential deterioration of credit quality; 2) great NIM pressures, particularly in EM markets; and 3) increasingly onerous capital demands in the UK. We also could see slower-than-expected rundown of the US mortgage portfolio. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of HK$102 is derived from a combination of (i) a sum-of-the-parts based on fair values of each of the six markets, which we think is in-line with how European investors look at the stock (implies HK$99); and (ii) DDM analysis, where we forecast normalized ROEs of 12.7% on fully-loaded Basel III and a cost of capital of 9.8%, in-line with how we think Asia investors look at the stock (implies HK$102). Key risks to our PT include credit quality; NIM pressures; regulatory impact on capital.

Company overview Hyundai Development Company was established in 1977 and spun off from Hyundai Group in 1999. The company is focused mostly on the domestic market in housing, civil engineering and architecture. It specializes not only in contract housing construction, but also in being a developer, based on its in-house projects and expertise. Investment case We expect Hyundai Development will benefit from the domestic housing recovery cycle. Also, after clearing residual burdens through reporting depressed earnings in 2H13, HDC should benefit from the following positive drivers, in our view: (1) contraction of net debt; (2) recovery of housing margins; and (3) additional growth opportunities in civil projects. Resilience of the growth outlook As the company clears its losses from housing business, we think top-line and earnings growth will accelerate, coupled with a domestic housing market recovery. Also, the companys large-sized civil projects in backlog should generate ample topline growth from 2015 onwards.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Hyundai Development had previously guided to weak 2H13 earnings, mainly due to its provisions on the domestic housing business. As the company will reflect most of the losses from its low-margin in-house projects (based on PF acquisition) within this year, we expect to see a faster earnings recovery in 2014. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 price target of W30,000 is based on a 0.9x P/BV multiple applied to 2014E BPS. 0.9x is the companys five-year average P/BV. Key downside risks include: (1) sluggish presale results from in-house projects; (2) a slower-than expected housing cycle recovery; (3) potential earnings downside from further housing provisions; and (4) unexpected delays in the housing project launch schedule.

Company overview Hyundai Mipo Dockyard builds medium-ranged product carriers, chemical tankers, containerships, LPG carriers, and pure car truck carriers. It has emerged as the biggest player in small and medium sized vessels. Investment case We believe there are three key drivers for Mipo: 1) It will be the biggest beneficiary of the US shale revolution. 2) Mipo has started to create demand for itself through the development of its own eco-ship, which offers significant fuel savings. 3) Mipo has no competitors globally for smaller sized vessels, especially after massive restructuring in the industry. For this reason, we believe Mipo will be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the current cycle, unlike the previous one. Resilience of the growth outlook Thanks to its long-term experience in mid-sized commercial vessels, Hyundai Mipo has already achieved 92% of its annual new order target of $3.2bn. We expect more orders to follow in 2014, helped by the recovery of the commercial vessel market. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 We expect Mipo's margin to remain sluggish in 2014, on the back of revenue recognition from low-priced commercial vessels received from 2011. Operational risks from its Vietnam subsidiary, Hyundai Vinashin Shipyard, are also likely to pressure Mipo's earnings. However, we expect this is already priced-in, and believe further momentum will be driven by Mipos order recovery and newbuilding price hike. Price target, and risks to our investment view We are OW with a Dec-14 price target of W210,000. Our price target is based on SOTP, considering Mipos investment holding value of W1,732bn and W2,332bn shipbuilding operational value. Its operational value comes from an EV/Sales ratio at 0.68x, the average of DSME and SHI. Key downside risks include negative sentiment on the global economic outlook that may result in slower order recovery, and a fall in oil prices that could result in less favor towards Mipos fuel-efficient vessels.

Company overview Hyundai Motor Company (HMC) is the largest auto maker in Korea, with 43% of domestic market share (2012A). HMC owns 38% in KIA Motors, the second-largest auto maker in Korea, together with it dominates over 70% of the Korean market. HMC/KIA are the worlds fifth-largest auto manufacturers, based on annual sales volume, and operate 14 manufacturing and assembly operations in eight countries. Investment case In 2014, HMC will re-enter an accelerated EPS growth cycle. We expect 2014 EPS growth to turn to low teens from low single digit in 2013E. Main driver will be the product cycle, which will turn up from 1H14 and peak in 2H15, in our view. Driven by model cycle, price realizations should also be sizable. Possibility of the second phase of capacity expansion (China and potentially Russia or US) will add a positive spin to sustainable growth beyond 2014. Improving demand in key markets including Europe is an additional positive earnings driver, given Hyundai Motor is the most leveraged auto stock to European recovery among Asian auto stocks. Resilience of the growth outlook We think there is limited risk to our view that HMCs 2014 earnings growth will experience an upward trajectory from the bottom in 2013. Key supporting factor is the product cycle. Product cycle is by far the most important earnings driver for auto makers. Although at a smaller degree, we expect net price realization is also going to be significant at over 10%. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 However, for some markets where the growth rate will slow down like the US, competition with less attractive product cycles and falling market share position should impact overall pricing and incentive/cost trends. HMCs earnings can be also affected by this competitive landscape. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our June-14 PT is W330,000, based on 10x FY14E EPS (higher end of historical band (5-12x). Short-term risk is the pace of KRW appreciation. Long-term risk is rising R&D burden.

Company overview ICICI Bank is one of India's largest banks, with significant market share in most retail loan segments. After the ~38% credit CAGR over FY04-08, ICICI consolidated its loan book over FY08-10 to increase focus on profitability. It has subsequently re-started growing, but is cautious on pricing and credit controls. Investment case We expect revenue momentum to remain strong driven by improving margins, robust fee income and strong retail loan growth. Even with increasing credit costs, we see ROEs rising continuously through FY16 to 16.4% vs 13.6% in FY14. ICICI has derisked its loan book in recent years; the infrastructure book is less risky than PSU peers, given the low exposure to UMPPs and gas projects. The stock trades at a very attractive valuation of 1.6x PB (1yr fwd) and we believe its the most defensive play in the high interest rate environment. Resilience of the growth outlook We expect loan growth to remain strong at ~18% in FY14E, higher than the system average & mainly driven by the retail segment. The bank has witnessed significant traction in its distribution network which would keep the retail momentum strong. We believe the banks strong capital base is a significant advantage as compared to its competitors (especially PSUs), as they may have to forsake growth to preserve capital. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 We expect credit costs of 101bp for FY14E & 115bp for FY15E; however if the macro situation continues to remain weak for a longer period of time then credit costs could inch upwards, which could impact profitability. Higher competition from PSUs in the retail segment can impact loan growth & thereby revenue in FY14-15E. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Sept-14 PT for ICICI Bank of Rs 1,200 is based on 2 stage Gordon growth model implying 1.8x Sept14 book and Rs218/share valuation for the subsidiaries. Our valuations factor in Cost of Equity at 15.4%, Normalized ROE of ~22% and terminal growth of 5%. The key risks 1) large losses from their infrastructure-related exposures and 2) weak demand for retail loans.

Company overview Indofood is a food conglomerate controlled by Salim Group via First Pacific (50.5% ownership). Its businesses include instant noodles, flour, CPO edible oil (including plantation), sugar, milk, seasoning, baby food, snack and distribution. More than 80% of EBIT accrues from instant noodles, flour, edible oil, and dairy divisions. We expect INDF's earnings will be driven by the price of CPO, wheat, Rupiah exchange rate and its deleveraging plan. Its stock price should correlate to the price of the underlying commodity and expectation of earnings growth. It recently acquired a controlling stake in vegetable processor and planter: China Minzhong (MINZ SP). Investment case We believe INDF could outperform on: (1) Addition of MINZ SP into INDF operation; adding 15% to FY14E EBIT. (2) Price increase enacted in Oct-13 which could pass through any pressure from currency depreciation. (3) Recovery in CPO price. (4) Dairy division is expected to grow by 18% in FY14E. (5) 44% EPS growth in FY14E. Resilience of the growth outlook INDF has the pricing power to overcome the potential cost pressure due to input cost and currency depreciation. MINZ operation could add sizable contribution to FY14E net income. Dairy is expected to continue its strong growth in FY14E. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 The risks to earnings are: (1) Potentially lower than expected contribution from MINZ; given the weak 2Q13 performance. (2) Volatility in CPO price could cause earnings on edible oil to be unpredictable. (3) Additional debt arising from MINZ acquisition could work against profit. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our SOTP based Dec-14 PT of Rp7,500 represents 11.9x FY14E PE: below the average 3 year PE of 14x. The value of its listed subsidiaries: IFAR, ICBP and MINZ, are marked to market, while the unlisted subsidiaries are valued using DCF methods: using a risk free rate of 8.0%, equity risk premium of 8.0% and terminal growth rate of 7.0%. We also assign a holding company discount of 12.5% to the DCF valuation. Downside risks: 1) Acquisition of MINZ fails to deliver the earnings contribution; 2) continued weak operation at Bogasari; and 3) noodle competition intensifies.

INFY.BO,INFO IN Price: Rs3,265.85 Price Target: Rs3,500.00
Company overview Infosys is one of Asias largest IT services companies with significant experience across vertical domains (BFSI, manufacturing and telecoms) and technology platforms. Infosys serves 850+ clients and has a wide portfolio of service offerings. Investment case Infosyss focus on revenue growth is encouraging in our view. Its win rates in the bread-and-butter segments (incl. large deals) seem to be improving. Infosys is also prepared to temper the near-term margin profile for market share. The other positives are: (a) strong deals wins over the last 3-4 quarters provide revenue visibility, (b) meaningful headroom for cost-optimization/margin expansion, (c) management seems confident of revenue & margin exit rate in Mar-14 quarter, (d) relatively healthy demand environment in CY14 coupled with improved win rates should boost growth. Resilience of the growth outlook Infosyss management pointed to improved demand environment and relatively normalized/better decision making cycle. Infosys's win rate/yields have also improved over the last 2-3 quarters. As we expect CY14 demand environment to stay healthy, Infosys should gain from sustained/improving win rates. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 The key risk for Infosys's earnings is weakness in demand due to macro weakness/ event. An adverse US immigration bill might impact the companys growth prospects in the US. Pricing decline and supply-side pressures are the other key risks. Price target, and risks to our investment view We have an OW rating on Infosys with Mar-14 price target of INR 3,500 based on a one-year forward P/E multiple of 16.5x, at a modest (~15%) discount to TCS target multiple of 19x. We believe the discount is justified as TCS's revenue growth and margin profile remains better than Infosys, in our view. Downside risks: lower than expected volume growth, meaningful decline in pricing/realizations, adverse US immigration bill, INR appreciation (vs. USD) and higher than expected attrition.

Company overview JC&C, formed in 1899, is part of the Jardine Matheson group. JC&Cs main source of income and its largest asset is its 50.1% holding in Astra International, the largest independent automobile dealer in Southeast Asia. It represents motor principals including Toyota, Kia, Mercedes Benz and Daihatsu, and its span includes Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam and Myanmar. Investment case We see as JC&C as undervalued relative to its assets at this time. Its holding in Astra is worth 125% of its EV, at the upper end of the three-year range. We have a constructive view on Astra and think JC&C is an attractive route to exposure. The risk of a weaker Rupiah in FY14 leads us to prefer JC&C over Astra at this time. Resilience of the growth outlook Vehicle sales in Indonesia are proving resilient. The impact of competition, a major factor in Astras underperformance earlier this year, appears overblown, in our view. This is evidenced by the strong bounceback in margins in 3Q. Further, rising wages underpin two-wheeler growth prospects. We recently upgraded UNTR to OW, which, along with a more positive outlook for palm oil, bolsters our growth outlook. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 JC&C earns most of its income in Rupiah, but reports in USD, leading to translation risks to reported earnings. Indonesia is embarking on a phase of macroeconomic adjustment. This may lead to weaker domestic demand and restricted credit availability, which could affect Astra's auto and financing earnings. Small car competition and policy risks due to vehicle congestion in Jakarta (and Singapore) are also possible risk factors. Price target, and risks to our investment view We rate JC&C OW with a Jun-14 PT of S$51, based on a 12-month forward P/E multiple of 13x. This implies an exit SoP discount of 5% and an 8% P/E discount to Astra. Risks to our view include JC&C earnings falling short on currency risks. JC&Cs dependence on Indonesia is also a risk if Indonesian asset prices are derated.

0358.HK,358 HK Price: HK$14.68 Price Target: HK$19.50
Company overview Jiangxi Copper (JXC) is Chinas largest refined copper producer with a market share of 19% (based on 2012 production data). JXC is primarily a smelter as its own mines supply c20% of its concentrate requirement, with the balance purchased from external sources. With 14.6mt of contained copper reserves, JXC produces 210kt of mined copper. It also boasts an annual smelting/refining capacity of 1.2mtpa. It is 42% owned by Jiangxi Copper Corporation, a 100% provincial government entity. Investment case Armed with a clean balance sheet and large low-cost domestic operations, JXC has weathered the latest cyclical copper downturn far better than in the past. Higher treatment and refining charges (TC/RCs) in FY14 should return its smelters to profits. With the stock trading below BV (4-year average of 1.3x P/B), we see valuation support and re-rating catalysts likely from rising TC/RCs and potential M&A. Resilience of the growth outlook Looking ahead into FY14, with copper prices forecast to average broadly similar to 2013 but TC/RC forecast to rise by 20%, we forecast JXCs earnings to grow by 11%. Notwithstanding significant new supply coming on stream, we expect improving global growth to contain global copper markets surpluses, supporting average copper prices above USD7,250/t. With copper mining costs at USD3000/t (ex by products), JXC's mines should remain strongly profitable. We are c13% ahead of consensus estimates. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 The key upside risks to earnings lies in higher than expected TC/RCs where we estimate a 5% change in TC/RCs impacts FY14 EBITDA by 3%. Current spot TC/RCs are transacting at USD120/12c (FY13 USD70/7c, JPM FY14E USD85/8.5). Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 price target for JXC-H is HKD19.50/share equates to 1.1x PB based on a blended average of NPV and PB-ROE. Key risks include copper price movement, M+A and execution risk on growth projects (Afghanistan and Peru).

KBAN.BK,KBANK TB Price: Bt181.50 Price Target: Bt240.00
Company overview KBANK is one of the leading commercial banks in Thailand. The bank provides a full range of services, but has significant market share in wholesale lending, particularly in the SME segment. Over the past couple of years, KBANK has become more active in the retail banking business, which has resulted in high retail loan growth and non-NII. Investment case KBANKs revenue growth has been above the industry average since FY08 and the growth momentum within the industry top two. Being in the top three in the mortgage business, KBANK now stands to benefit from rising mortgage demand, in our view. Tier-1 ratio at 12.5% also gives the bank ability to tackle competition in SME lending and pay higher dividends. Resilience of the growth outlook We believe KBANKs balanced growth policy will pay off well in the medium term. The banks non-NII growth continues to lead the sector. We note that KBANK has the strongest deposit franchise in the system and thus the bank should benefit as interest rates start to move up. KBANKs deposit cost of 1.45% in 3Q13 is the best in its class (30bp below industry and 15bp below BBL). Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 KBANKs coverage ratio has dropped to 138% due to higher NPL formation. This will keep credit cost pressure elevated in FY14. We forecast 90bp credit costs for FY14, up from 66bp/86bp in FY12/13E. Price target, and risks to our investment view We maintain our OW rating with a Dec-14 PT of Bt240 based on DDM, using a 20.6% ROE, 12.8% COE, and 8% growth. Key risks to our PT are: 1) impact from minimum wage increase to SME businesses; 2) fiercer-than-expected competition in SME, which is the largest portion of KBANKs loan-book; 3) slower-than-expected consumer loan growth and non-NII growth; and 4) higher-than-expected opex from K-Transformation.

Company overview KB Financial Group (KBG) runs the largest retail banking operation among bankcentric FHCs in Korea. It has eleven subsidiaries under FHC structure, including Kookmin Bank, KB Card, KB Invest. & Securities, KB Asset Mgt. and KB Life Insurance. Investment case Along with the other Korean banks/bank-centric FHCs in our universe, we expect KBGs key cyclical earnings drivers such as NIM, loan growth, and credit cost to start recovering in 2014. However, we believe KBG will see higher than average growth in 2014 considering the low base effect (i.e., sizable MTM losses from legacy assets in 2013) and greater gearing towards domestic consumption and housing market recovery. Resilience of the growth outlook We project KBGs earnings to grow by 30% Y/Y in FY14E on the back of NIM stabilization, improvement in corporate credit cost, and limited impairment recognition from legacy assets. Considering that our central case scenario is not based on meaningful pick-up in loan growth (4% Y/Y) for 2014, upside risk to our earnings estimate could come from (1) stabilization / normalization of housing market, (2) DM recovery benefitting Korea exporters, and (3) pick-up in local CAPEX cycle. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 While KBGs 4Q13E earnings may disappoint on provision top-up and seasonality in overhead cost, we dont see any meaningful downside risk to 2014 earnings considering KBGs continuing effort to clean up their NPLs as well as sizable MTM loss recognition on legacy asset in 2013. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 DDM-based PT of W49,000 assumes sustainable ROE of 7.4%, growth of 3.1% and implies 0.8x FY14E NAV and 10.9x FY14E earnings. Key risks are unexpected regulatory changes as well as execution risk on local M&A opportunities.

Company overview Keppel Corporations key businesses include Offshore & Marine, Property and Infrastructure. Its Offshore & Marine business includes the construction of offshore rigs. On the property side, it is involved in property development, primarily via Keppel Land. Its infrastructure business comprises environmental engineering, power & gas, logistics and data center businesses. Investment case We remain Overweight on Keppel as we continue to see strong order momentum in jackups (>50 jackups ordered in 2013 globally) along with growing semisub orders. Keppel remains our top pick among Singapore rig builders due to i) better O&M margins forecasted over the next 1-2 years as Brazil will act as baseload; ii) product mix as Keppel enjoys orders in FLNG market; iii) potential drillship/FLNG orders; iv) orders expected from Mexico after it sets up a yard. Resilience of the growth outlook Keppels great track record in the delivery of rigs is one reason why rig owners prefer Keppel over Chinese yards. We expect strong earnings in O&M to continue on the back of order replenishment. With Keppel announcing to build a yard in Mexico, the company is also set to benefit from strong rig demand coming from Mexico.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Prices and margins remain under pressure due to increased competition, especially from Chinese yards (for Jackups) and Korean yards (on pricing for semisubs and high spec jackups). Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of S$13.30 is based on our sum-of-the-parts valuation with a DCFbased calculation for the rig-building business and a 12x P/E for ship repair and other businesses, in line with the historical average for the repair business. We value property (Keppel Bay) at NAV and Keppel Land at our PT. Finally, we value the infrastructure business at 1.5x book. The key risks to our PT include a worse-thanexpected delay in new orders and a collapse in oil prices.

Company overview Krung Thai Bank (KTB) is Thailands largest state-owned bank, with Financial Institutions Development Fund (FIDF) being the banks largest shareholder, owning 55.29% of the bank. This has lent a benefit to KTB, which has the largest market share in lending and deposit-taking with the government and SOEs. Investment case KTB offers the most attractive valuation in the sector, in our view, along with decent yield and ROE. The stock trades at 1.29x FY14E P/BV and 8.6x FY14E P/E and offers a 4% dividend yield, 17% EPS growth and 16% ROE. Our estimates already price in high credit cost expectations (100bp vs. 84bp) for KTB in 2014, as the banks coverage ratio is below the industry average (108% vs. 137%). Resilience of the growth outlook The key drag on KTBs share price has been the delay in government infrastructure spending. We believe this spending will happen, although the timing is unclear at this stage. We believe the stocks low valuation reflects low expectations built in by the market, and we thus see potential for considerable upside should the government spending commence in 2014.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Despite the recapitalization in 4Q12, KTBs tier 1 capital ratio of 10.7% is still below the industry average of 12.3% and does not totally remove the possibility of recapitalization again if loan demand comes down significantly. That said, KTB recently raised its 2013 loan growth target to 10% from previous guidance of 7.5%, alleviating concerns regarding loan growth in the near term. Price target, and risks to our investment view We maintain our Overweight rating on KTB with a Dec-14 PT of Bt28 based on DDM, using a 14.6% ROE, 13.5% COE and 7.0% growth. Risks to our rating and price target include potential M&A and credit quality deterioration, given the fact that KTB has a lower-than-industry-average NPL coverage ratio.

Company overview M1 is the third-largest mobile operator in Singapore, providing mobile and broadband services. It also recently launched IPTV-based pay TV services. As of 3Q13, M1 had a subscriber share of 26% of Singapores wireless market, which has a 150% wireless penetration rate. Investment case Our OW rating on M1 is predicated on rising data pricing and lower subscriber acquisition costs (SAC) over the next two to three years and the potential for higher dividend payouts. SAC for Singapore telcos increased 70-80% over 2008-2012 as operators drove aggressive smartphone adoption. With current adoption levels at ~80%, we see a case for less aggressive handset subsidies. M1s SAC declined 11.9% YoY in 3Q (partly driven by subsidy cuts), and we believe this trend could intensify. In addition, we see tailwinds from potential increases in 4G pricing and from customers migrating to bundled data packs. Net debt-to-EBITDA for 9M13 declined to 0.6x, below the stated target of 1x. We estimate that M1 can increase 2013E/14E payouts to 100% (implying 5.2%/6.1% yields for 2013E/14E) and still maintain gearing targets. Resilience of the growth outlook Singapore is a three-player wireless market, and competitive intensity remains low, with operators being rational on pricing. While revenue growth over 2013-15E is likely to be at a CAGR of 6%, we expect it to be fairly resilient. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Key risks to the earnings outlook include higher handset subsidies and potential aggressiveness from M1 on its recently launched pay TV platform. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Sep-14 PT of S$4.00 is based on an 18x Sep-15E P/E. Our target P/E multiple is based on the stocks historical trading range and expected future business changes. Key downside risks include a reversal of sovereign bond yields, as M1s valuations have expanded over the past three years, driven by declining sovereign bond yields.

Company overview Makalot is one of the major apparel ODM/OEM companies in Asia. Major customers include department stores (Kohls), mass merchants (Target, Wal-Mart), and apparel specialty stores (Carters, Fast Retailing, A&F). Makalot focuses on casual wear and around 85% of its products is sold in the US. Makalot has its headquarters and R&D center in Taiwan, with the production plants located in five countries: Indonesia (30%), Vietnam (30%), Cambodia (27%), the Philippines (8%), and China (6%). Investment case We expect Makalot to experience a growth stage with c.25% earnings CAGR from 2013 to 2015 and earnings growth acceleration from FY14. First, Makalot moved ahead of the curve to expand its production base in Southeast Asia away from China. Given c.30% of capacity is located in Vietnam, Makalot is a beneficiary if Vietnam joins the TPP agreement. Second, the company also expects to improve its margin by improving production efficiency and growing economies of scale. Finally, we expect Makalot's new customers H&M, Inditex, Fast Retailing, Ralph Lauren and VF to become growth drivers from 2014 onwards. Resilience of the growth outlook We expect Makalot to deliver 30% Y/Y growth in FY14E earnings, driven by 1) c.20% volume growth, 2) a 2% ASP hike, and 3) 0.5-1 ppt gross margin expansion. We believe that the strong demand for textile supply chain in Southeast Asia should bode well for companies like Makalot which is experienced in this region. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Labor costs in Southeast Asia have been rising in the past three years, although the wage level is still lower than in China. While the supply chain is growing fast in this area, labor shortages or wage hikes are a potential concern to earnings upside. Price target, and risks to our investment view We are OW with a DCF-based (10.8% WACC, 1.5% terminal growth) Dec-14 price target of NT$206. Makalot has consistently delivered stable cash flow and therefore we believe DCF is a relevant methodology. Downside risks to our PT and forecasts include: (1) Sharp USD depreciation, (2) Slowdown in the US economy, (3) customer concentration risk.

Company overview Metro Pacific Investments (MPI) is an investment holding company focused on Philippine utilities/infrastructure. Its portfolio of quality assets includes water utility Maynilad Water, power distribution utility Manila Electric Co. (Meralco), tollroad company Metro Pacific Tollways Corp (MPTC), and a group of healthcare facilities. Investment case Given that MPIs ~25% stake in Meralco accounts for ~58% of MPIs current market cap (Php2.8/share), we believe the other businesses (Maynilad and tollroads) are significantly undervalued. Assuming Meralco at the current share price and no tariff increase for Maynilad (which would reduce Maynilads valuation from Php2.2/share to Php1.5/share), the current share price implies that the tollroad business comes for free. MPI is our top pick among Philippine utilities, with upside potential from PPP bidding, including: (1) LRT1; (2) CALA-EX; and (3) Cebu-Mactan airport. Resilience of the growth outlook With steady earnings growth across its portfolio of assets Meralco expected to grow with power demand and upside from power generation, Maynilad expected to see steady volume growth (and upside assuming arbitration comes in favor) and the tollroad business expected to see steady traffic growth we expect MPI to enjoy steady earnings growth with upside surprises possible from potential PPP project success. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 A Maynilad arbitration decision against the company would negatively affect our FY14 estimates. Drastic declines in business units key operating metrics (billed volume for Maynilad, vehicle traffic for MPTC, kWh sales for Meralco) are also risks to earnings. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of Php6.5 reflects a 10% conglomerate discount to our NAV/share of Php7.30, which is derived from a SOTP of MPIs major business units. Key downside risks include an unfavorable decision on Maynilad arbitration, disappointment in business units key operating metrics, and larger-than-expected tariff cuts for Meralco.

Company overview MGM China Holdings Limited, is one of the leading casino gaming resort developers, owners and operators in the greater China region and holds one of the six gaming concessions/subconcessions in Macau. The company currently owns and operates MGM Macau, which is located on the Macau Peninsula. MGM Cotai project is expected to open in 2016 with estimated CapEx to be around HK$ 20bn. Investment case Despite competition from the new supply on Cotai over the past two years, MGM was able to grow with the market (maintain market share at 9-10%) and maintain profitability, as evidenced by its improving margin. With low market expectations (our FY14E EBITDA is around 7% above consensus), valuations look undemanding to us (at 15x FY14E P/E) and the stock remains under-owned, so we think strong performance will persist in 2014. Medium term, MGM is also attractive for it steady dividend yield (2014 and 2015) and growth (with capacity doubled when its Cotai project opens in 2016). Resilience of the growth outlook As there will be no new industry supply in the next 1.5 years, the operating environment is likely to be more favorable for MGM. Strong visitation and fast growing internal consumption-driven mass market (currently at around 55% of MGM's EBITDA) should provide MGM earnings resilience into 2014. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Policy changes from Mainland China may post risks to the sector, such as visa restrictions. Newsflow related to anti-corruption fight in China may hurt sentiment and potentially VIP market demand. Macroeconomic slowdown in China may also impact gaming revenue, especially the credit driven VIP segment. Price target, and risks to our investment view We value MGM China on 14x FY14E EBITDA (see next page for support methodology). Our Dec-14 price target is HK$30.5. Downside risks include 1) significant market share loss if VIP market competition intensifies, 2) significant foot traffic shift to Cotai, and 3) regulatory risks from China.

Company overview PT MNC Sky Vision Tbk is the largest Pay TV operator in Indonesia with subscriber market share of over 70%. MSKY operates its services under three different brands: Indovision, OkeVision and Top TV, with a segmented marketing approach. Indovision is the companys flagship service. MNC Sky Vision Tbk is a subsidiary of PT Global Mediacom Tbk, which currently has a 66.47% total shareholding. Investment case Our Overweight rating on MSKY is premised on its strong market leadership in Asia's least penetrated pay TV market. MSKY had 71% (end 2012) share of Indonesias Pay TV market, which has only 7% household penetration and is estimated to grow at 28% CAGR over 2012-16 (source: MPA). MSKYs content breadth accentuated by association with group company MNCN, exclusive broadcast rights over S-Band, offering resiliency to heavy rains (implying lower outages), and strong in-house distribution make it well-positioned to sustain its pay TV dominance, in our view. We believe MSKY offers a potential multi-year trade similar to EM telcos of early 2000s, driven by rising penetration aided by rising affordability. Resilience of the growth outlook We estimate 25% revenue CAGR for MSKY over 2013-15E. While MSKY dominates the Indonesian Pay TV market, the market is highly segregated with new players also entering the market. The most recent entrant is Big TV, part of the Lippo Group. Increasing competition could drive churn rates higher in the near term. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 MSKY has a large part of its content costs, capex and debt denominated in US dollars. Further IDR depreciation will adversely impact near-term earnings. We estimate 5% IDR depreciation will adversely impact 2013-15 net profit by 8%-17%. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun-14 PT of Rp3,100 is based on 15x Jun-15E EV/EBITDA, a 25% premium to ASEAN media peer group given MSKY's stronger market position (71% market share) as well as superior long-term earnings growth. Key downside risks include recent entry of Big TV and sustained and higher-than-expected depreciation of the IDR.

Naver.com, NHNs search portal in Korea, has a search query market share of +70%. In June 2011, the company launched a mobile messenger service in Japan, which has around 140 million MAU worldwide. Investment case Key driver is its messaging app business. We believe that its social networking business, dominant in Japan and gaining market share in other regions as well, has potential monetization upside. We recommend investors to build up positions at the current early growth stage of the business, which we believe has the potential of becoming a global leading social communication platform. Resilience of the growth outlook While we forecast secular bullish growth of social networking game revenue (61% 3yr CAGR 2013-16E), we expect social networking ad/contents as the next monetization surprise in 2014E with 128%/88% 3yr revenue CAGR (2013-16E). Japan is the dominant value proposition for its monetization in the mid term. The potential revenue mix shift into ad/commerce should render further re-rating of the social networkings valuation. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 (1) Potential intensifying social networking app competition and higher marketing cost, (2) Delayed break-even-point of social networking business due to its slower than expected monetization. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of W770,000 is based on SOTP, comprising: (1) Naver portal by applying 21.2x global portal peer average 2014E P/E. (2) Social networking business. (3) Treasury shares, (4) Net cash, (5) NHN Entertainment. Downside risks to our view include potential pull-back of global internet sector peer valuation, potentially more significant than expected negative impact of domestic portal regulation, and intensifying social networking app competition and higher marketing costs.

Company overview Commands 80% market share in HDD motors, which earn operating margins of more than 20% and generate more than 50% of profits. Dominates also in small motors such as DC motors and STM motors, in which it has majority market shares. Now focusing on growth in general motors for auto and home appliance applications. Expediting M&A strategy using the tailwind created by tightening environmental regulations and yen strength, amid attempts to expand business high-efficiency brushless motor technology. Investment case For FY2014 we forecast record-high operating profit of 110 billion. In response to PC market contraction, Nidec is rapidly shifting the focus of its business portfolio from HDD motors to general motors (motors for automotive, home appliance, commercial, and industrial applications). In FY2014 we expect the general motors segment to generate around 33% of the companys total profit (vs. 15% in FY2012 and an estimated 25% in FY2013), fueling overall earnings growth. Resilience of the growth outlook We think automotive motors are particularly promising as a growth driver. Regulations aimed at making cars safer and more fuel efficient are creating new applications for automotive motors, and Nidec is aggressively targeting this market through M&A. Additionally, following last years restructuring, management has shifted its approach regarding businesses acquired via M&A to a focus on groupwide optimization rather than individual optimization. Management expects this to yield cost synergies of 15 billion in FY2014 and 30 billion in FY2015, but we have not yet factored this fully into our earnings forecasts for Nidec. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Risks include a worse-than-expected slump in the HDD market stemming from soft PC demand and/or widespread use of SSDs in notebook PCs, and downward pressure on margins in the general motors segment owing to development cost overruns in automotive motors. Price target, and risks to our investment view We base our 11,000 price target on our FY2014 EPS estimate and a P/E of 18.2x, reflecting a 30% premium over the electronic components sectors historical P/E average of 14x. We apply this premium to account for medium-term growth potential in the general motors segment along with prospects for relatively rapid profit growth in the other precision motors business. The time horizon for our price target is to December 2014.

Company overview Pacific Basin Shipping provides dry bulk shipping and towage services. It has a large, young and uniformly-sized fleet of shallow-draft Handysize and Handymax vessels. 1H13 revenue breakdown: Handysize TCE: 70% and Handymax TCE: 30%. Investment case PacBasin provides a low-risk play on the sector recovery from 2014 and its countercyclical strategy to acquire cheap vessels will provide a significant cost advantage over peers. It also operates in our preferred Handysize segment which has the lowest order book-to-fleet ratio and highest level of scrap rate. PacBasin operates one of the youngest fleet in the bulk shipping sector with average age of 6 years. Resilience of the growth outlook Longer term, we have a positive contrarian view on the dry bulk shipping sector and expect average freight rates in 2014 to surpass 2013 levels, driving earnings recovery. We believe this year marks the cycles bottom and 2014 average freight rates will improve y/y as sector demand-supply growth returns to balance, with potential supply shortage in 2015. Our preferred play is the Handysize segment as it has the lowest order book-to-fleet ratio and highest scrap rate and Pacific Basin Shipping is one of the best plays on this theme, in our view. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Key downside risks would be if dry bulk shipping demand weakens and/or excessive newbuild vessel ordering takes place which will cap industry recovery. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of HK$6.5 is based on 1.1x P/BV, a 10% discount to PacBasin's historical average valuation since listing to factor in its lower profitability near term. Key downside risks: Delayed dry bulk market recovery, further asset write-downs, management changes.

Company overview PCCW is a Hong Kong-based company which holds interests in telecommunications (63% of HKT Trust), media (Now TV), IT solutions (PCCW Solutions), property development and investment (74.5% of PCPD), and other businesses. Richard Li and China Unicom are the two largest shareholders with 28% and 18% interests in the company, respectively. Investment case We think PCCW deserves a re-rating based on: 1) its strengthening pay-TV leadership driven by the exclusive broadcasting rights of the Barclays Premier League (BPL); and 2) the rising growth profile of its Solutions business, both organically and inorganically. PCCW is trading at a 24% discount to the combined market value of its stakes in HKT and PCPD, in line with its historical avg. This implies that the improved growth prospects of its media and Solutions businesses are yet to be priced in. PCCW provides an attractive combination of 9% EPS CAGR (2012-2015E) with yield sustainable above 5%. Resilience of the growth outlook PCCWs leading position, with strong pricing power in local pay TV, fixed-line and broadband industries, should enable itself to drive sustainable growth through price increases. In the meantime, its IT solutions operations are well positioned to benefit from secular growth of cloud computing and data center services. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Weaker-than-expected BPL take-up may present downside risk to our earnings forecasts. Price target, and risks to our investment view To arrive at our Dec-14 PT of HK$4.1 we apply a holding company discount of 20% to our SOTP-based NAV estimate of HK$5.2 (based on combining the equity value of each business and the redemption value of its convertible bond issued to PCPD). Our TP implies 12.6x 2014E P/E and 5.7x 2014E EV/EBITDA. Downside risks include a reduction of its stake in HKT Trust and yield de-rating in a rising-interestrate environment.

In 2012, crude production was 2.5 mn BOPD and natural gas 1.16 mn BOEPD, refining throughput was 2.8 mn BOPD, olefin production 7.7 mn tonnes and it operated over 40,000 km of pipelines (crude, products and natural gas). PetroChina has SEC proven reserves of 22.2bn BOE (47% natural gas, 67% of crude is developed). Major profit drivers are crude prices and refining margins in China. Investment case We expect a strong earnings trend, driven by both upstream and refining profitability improvement (with the move to higher spec fuels) to aid stock performance. We expect investor focus to be on the companys ability to strategically shift its energy portfolio away from low return assets via asset divestments. We think further visibility on asset divestments and clarity over natural gas reform progress will lead to relative outperformance relative to local peers. Resilience of the growth outlook We think PetroChina earnings will be driven by robust Chinese oil demand growth (4% y/y) from double-digit gasoline demand growth more than offset by diesel demand growth at 1% y/y. We see good natural gas profitability from further price hikes and Chinese natural gas demand at low double-digit growth, which partly offsets a higher import burden. Oil prices forecast at $112/bl Brent in 2014 should support upstream profitability. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Main risks to the earnings outlook are a sharp fall in oil prices, recent natural gas price hikes not being passed through to customers and no further rises, a higher import burden and weak chemicals profitability from lower demand and margins. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of HK$11 is based on a sum-of-the-parts methodology, whereby we calculate a DCF based value (WACC 9.8%, terminal g 2%) for each business segment, namely upstream, refining, chemicals and marketing added to give our total NAV. Debt and financial liabilities are deducted at book value. Key downside risks are a collapse in the oil price, lack of nat gas price hikes and weakening downstream demand.

Company overview Ping An was one of the first non-state owned financial conglomerates to provide insurance (both life and non-life), banking, securities, trust and asset management services to customers in China. Unlike other insurers, its business model is largely based on exclusive sales agents and customers are mostly affluent/HNWIs. Investment case We are observing fast business model transformation in the China life insurance sector from volume growth to value increase. Due to its strong agency based channel growth, Ping An Group is already delivering the highest YTD premium growth (+14% y/y) with a sector-leading NBV margin (28% in 1H13). Its NBV margin is already at AIA Group's FY09 level, and following the private health insurance market expansion during 2014 we think its market-dominant agency operation will drive further value increase resulting in a strong share price re-rating. Resilience of the growth outlook With a dominant position backed by agency channel, we expect Ping An to deliver the highest volume/NBV growth in the life sector. In non-life, as the second largest non-life insurer and given the increase in car sales and moderation in underwriting cycle deterioration, we forecast double-digit volume growth with ~5% underwriting margin. Finally, leveraging ~80M of existing insurance policyholders, Ping An Bank could generate sustainable fee-income growth. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Our ~27% y/y earnings growth in 2014 would be adversely affected under the scenario of (1) potential asset quality deterioration from Ping An Bank/ Ping An Trust; (2) faster-than-expected deterioration in non-life underwriting cycle, or (3) potential correction in A-share equity market movement. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 SOTP PT of HK$84 is based on 8.7x NBM for life, 1.9x P/BV for nonlife, 0.7x P/BV for the bank business. Key downside risks are asset quality concerns at its banking and trust operations, weaker-than-expected demand for protection-type products, and further delays in A-share convertible bonds issuance.

Company overview The state-owned PT Aneka Tambang is one of the largest nickel miners in Indonesia and it has installed capacity of about 26,000 tons. Aside from its ferronickel operation, ANTM also operates gold, silver, and bauxite mines. Although currently small, precious metal is growing and ANTM is likely to expand this operation via exploration and acquisition. Investment case Nickel price and cost will be the drivers of profit. ANTMs main source of fuel is currently oil, making it a high cost producer. With the investment in coal fired power plant expected to come on stream in FY14, ANTMs costs could come down to near industry average. Nearer term, ANTM could outperform on: (1) Recovery in ferronickel demand from the developed economies such as Western Europe (59% of sales) and South Korea (41%). (2) Earnings contribution from Tayan Chemical Grade Alumina. (3) 39% Y/Y earnings growth in FY14E. (4) More restrictive measures to curb ore export could cause nickel price to rise. (5) Attractively trading at 1.1x PBV. Resilience of the growth outlook We believe ANTMs FY14E could rise by 39%Y/Y on: (1) ferronickel rising from US$15,355/ton in FY13E to US$16,750/ton in FY14E. (2) Rp260bn net income contribution (out of total Rp 432bn) from Tayan Chemical Grade Alumina. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Risks to our earnings growth will come from: (1) Complete stoppage in ore export in Feb 14. Currently, we are forecasting a 4.5MM tons of ore export in FY14E compared to 7.5MM tons in FY13E. (2) The rise in ferronickel expectation does not materialize. (3) Tayan Chemical Grade Alumina's net income falling short of Rp260bn. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our DCF based Dec-14 PT of Rp1,800 represents 58x FY13E PE and 42x FY14E. The high multiple is because of depressed earnings level, but on PBV basis, ANTM is trading at an attractive 1.1x. The DCF method is derived using a risk free rate of 8.0%, equity risk premium of 5.5% and terminal growth rate of 5.0%. Risks: (1) Lower than expected Chinese recovery. (2) Rising interest cost that works against earnings. (3) Nickel pig iron supply working against nickel price.

Company overview Telkom is the largest telecom service provider in Indonesia, providing fixed wireline, fixed wireless, cellular, data and Internet services. Its 65% owned mobile subsidiary Telkomsel has ~40% wireless subscriber market share, providing network coverage to over 90% of Indonesias population. TLKM is owned by the Republic of Indonesia, which currently has ~51.2% of total shareholding. Currently, institutional ownership in TLKM stands at 26%. Investment case Our Overweight rating on TLKM, which is also our top pick in ASEAN, is premised on our emerging Asia telco thesis driving preference for: (1) Integrated operators over pure wireless players, given their ability to off-load wireless data to fixed line; (2) market share gainers in emerging markets, given that market share drives net interconnect, which in turn drives margins higher. Resilience of the growth outlook We estimate 7% revenue CAGR for TLKM over 2013-15E. The Indonesian market remains highly competitive and while the level of intensity is stabilizing currently, we see risk to growth outlook if any operators were to become more competitive.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Higher than expected data pricing compression driven by intense competition could potentially negatively impact earnings. Moreover, if XL embarks on aggressive pricing to increase utilization levels post acquisition of Axis Telecom, this may put pressure on margins for all operators in the industry. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun-14 PT of Rp2,770 is based on 16x2014E P/E (see datasheet). If our price target were achieved, Telkom would be trading at a 2013E/14E adjusted P/E of 18.3x/16.0x and providing a dividend yield of 3.6%/4.1% assuming a 65% payout of earnings. Key downside risks include higher-than-expected compression of data pricing and potential market share losses driven by more aggressive competition.

Company overview Puregold Price Club is one of the biggest grocery retailers in the Philippines with a portfolio of three different brands, operating four different formats. As of June 2013, the company has a total of 192 stores across the country, nearly half of which are located in Metro Manila. Puregold is the flagship brand with three different formats, and it caters to the C and D income class customers. Investment case We are bullish on PGOLD's medium-term growth outlook driven by rising modern retail penetration and the shift in the companys store geographic mix. Our 20% EPS CAGR in 2014E-2016E is driven by aggressive new store expansion (25 new stores organically + M&A), pick-up in SSSG beginning 2014 (impact of new provincial stores), and margin expansion (due to S&R stores + gradual shift of store geographic mix away from Metro Manila). Resilience of the growth outlook 2014E growth outlook hinges on the sustained new store openings of the company particularly in non-Metro Manila areas, and full year impact of two S&R stores opened in 2013. Our 2014E forecast is 8% higher than consensus. We think the market is not imputing the potential impact of a pick-up in SSSG and the S&R impact on margins. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 A continued decline or further weakness of SSSG is a key risk to our 2014 earnings outlook. Execution risk of new store expansion is another risk. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-2014 PT of Php51 is based on a forward 2014E PER of 26x, which implies a 1.3x PEG on the company's FY15E-FY17E EPS CAGR of 20% (we believe this methodology captures the quality and momentum of the company's growth trajectory). Downside risks to our price target: (1) execution risk of new store expansion, (2) logistics and distribution risk, (3) ability to replicate logistics and distribution capability in Visayas and Mindanao, (4) sharp drop of SSSG, (5) irrational pricing behavior of competitors.

Company overview Qihoo is a leading internet service company in China with a strong presence in the internet security realm. Qihoo is also involved in search, browser and webgame operations. Qihoo has many popular internet products among users, including 360 Safe Guard and 360 Safe Browser. It has built strong distribution ability on mobile through its 360 Mobile Assistant, one of the frequently used third-party app stores in China. Investment case Revenue comes primarily from online advertising and webgame operations. According to iResearch, Qihoo had 92% penetration rate among overall internet security users in China in 1H13. Qihoo represented an 11% market share in China's webgame publishing market in 2012. We expect Qihoos top line to grow by 70% to USD1,110m in 2014. Margin likely to see slight improvement on a non-GAAP basis, due to operating leverage. Resilience of the growth outlook Qihoo has achieved significant usage across PC and mobiles. Monetization in both still at an early stage. We expect Qihoo to grow revenue significantly from online ads, online search and game publishing in 2014. Monetization ramp-up across all these activities has little correlation to macro performance in the next 12 months, in our view. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 1) Search traffic monetization: Qihoo has a meaningful market share in China's PC search market. This traffic remains under-monetized. 2) Webgame market growth could slow due to cannibalization from mobile games, 3) lack of organic search traffic. Price target, and risks to our investment view We have an Overweight rating on Qihoo and a Jun-14 PT of US$94, based on 2014E non-GAAP FD EPADS of US$2.27, FY14-16E EPADS growth of 41% and a PEG of 1.0. We leverage PEG as our primary valuation methodology due to its ability to balance growth prospects against PE multiple. Our PT implies a 2014E/PE of 41x. Downside risks: lack of scalable revenue model on mobile, increasing competition in search market after Sogou and Soso integration.

Company overview RIL is a conglomerate with interests in refining, petrochemical, E&P, retail and telecoms. RIL is a significant player in the global refining and petrochemical market. It has refining capacity of 1.3mbpd. Over FY13-17E we estimate RIL's EPS will grow at an 18% CAGR. Investment case We are positive on RILs expansions in its petchem business, which will aid the 18% CAGR over FY13-17. RIL's integrated operations and value-added expansions in refining (coke gasification) will continue to cushion margins in a relatively moderate environment. We also believe resolution of the gas pricing issue will allow RIL to begin to ramp up D6 output, while growing shale revenues will help to offset the current fall in domestic E&P earnings. Resilience of the growth outlook RIL earns c.65% through exports (almost all revenues are $ linked). Margins across its downstream businesses are global in nature, allowing RIL to be leveraged to overall global economic growth, rather than particular geographies. Its high complexity refinery is able to earn margins at a premium to regional benchmarks. Domestic gas prices are likely to be higher starting April 2014, helping to boost revenues. RILs scale and integrated refining/petchem operations mean it is highly competitive compared with other non-gas based petchem producers in Asia. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Risks to earnings in 2014 emanate from lower than expected margins in the cyclical downstream businesses - larger than expected capacity additions and potential global economic growth slowing down would be potential causes. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our SOTP-based Mar-15 PT of Rs1000 values the refining, petchem and shale/PMT businesses at 6.5x, 7x and 5x EV/EBITDA respectively (in line with peer group). We value D6 stake on an NPV basis, and we value investments at book value. Key downside risks would lower than expected gas price/output, project delays and weaker refining/PX margins. At our PT, the stock would trade at 12.5x FY15 EPS.

Company overview ResMed manufactures medical devices for the diagnosis, treatment and management of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and other respiratory disorders. Its key products are flow generators which deliver air to an SDB patient at positive pressure, keeping the patients airway unobstructed, along with nasal masks with associated headgear and tubing to connect the flow generator to the patient. In FY13, the company derived ~56% of its revenues from the Americas. Investment case ResMed has been able to achieve margin expansion and double digit volumes growth despite an environment of increasing pricing pressure with the implementation of Round 2 of Competitive Bidding providing a backdrop. We think that volume disruptions caused by the implementation of Competitive Bidding Round 2 are likely to reverse and with new mask releases in the coming months also providing a boost, we expect upside to volumes and, to a lesser extent, pricing. Resilience of the growth outlook ResMed benefits from the positive underlying thematics of increased recognition of SDB as a comorbidity in diseases effectively increasing the addressable patient population, the use of Home Sleep Testing in diagnosing SDB versus the use of sleep labs and the launch of online monitoring systems to drive compliance and reimbursement. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 ResMed stated at their 1Q14 result that disruptions to volumes were a temporary result of the implementation of Round 2 of Competitive Bidding with some distributors that had won contracts needing to engage subcontractors because they lacked the physical presence within their contracted regions. Management stated that this disruption should correct over a matter of months. We see the distributors ability to respond to this disruption via implementation of more sophisticated patient management systems as crucial 2014 earnings. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun-14 TP is based on a DCF methodology (terminal growth assumption of 3.0%, WACC 10.0%), using a Jun-14 AUDUSD of 0.88). Downside risks: further declines in price in key markets, a slowdown in market growth, market share losses, slower-than-expected product launches, regulatory changes plus unfavourable exchange rate movements.

Company overview Rio Tinto is a diversified mining company with leading businesses in iron ore, base metals, coal, mineral sands and uranium. Investment case While an expected decline in iron ore prices medium term could act as a headwind, we continue to believe the stock will re-rate as projects are delivered, and free cash flow improves, providing greater options for capital. RIO remains our preferred diversified miner based on attractive valuation metrics. Resilience of the growth outlook Compelling valuation support there is more than 20% upside potential from the current share price to our DCF based price target, with the stock on a 10x PE multiple for 2014. Strong production growth driven by iron ore RIO has begun ramping up Pilbara iron ore production to 290Mtpa (from 237Mtpa) which will likely support significant eps growth in 2014 even with lower iron ore prices. The company is also on the cusp of approving further iron ore expansions, likely to 360Mtpa. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Earnings are leveraged to the iron ore division, where we forecast ~80% of earnings being generated in CY14. On this basis the key eps driver is the iron ore price, which has continued to surprise on the upside. In our view if the current iron ore price of US$135/t can be sustained heading into 2014, consensus earnings for RIO will likely need to move higher. Price target, and risks to our investment view We have an Overweight recommendation and a Jun-14 price target of A$78ps. Our price target is equal to our DCF valuation (10% WACC) rounded to the nearest dollar. The key risks to our investment view include 1) disproportionate exposure to cost inflation in Western Australia, 2) adverse outcomes in commodities, currencies, production and capex relative to our forecasts, or 3) potential changes to taxation, legislation, regimes or other operating conditions in key jurisdictions

Company overview Sa Sa International is primarily engaged in the retailing and wholesaling of cosmetic products in Hong Kong, Macau, China, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia, with a total store network of 260 stores as of Mar-13. The companys core business is in HK/Macau which accounts for ~80% of sales for year ending Mar-13 (close to 100 stores). Within HK/Macau, Mainland Chinese tourists account for ~68% of sales. Investment case In the short term, we believe there is some risk of weak sales for Sa Sa. Given rental cost pressure, this places risks on margins. However, over the medium to longer term, we believe Sa Sa is attractive given its exposure to the travelling Chinese consumer. We believe Sa Sa will benefit from inbound Mainland Chinese tourism into HK. Resilience of the growth outlook Visitor arrivals from Mainland China continued to record strong growth numbers in 2013YTD, trending at ~20% levels. Sa Sa has been consistently reporting double digit SSSG over recent quarters. Most recently, Golden Week sales were lower than expected (~6%). The company attributed this to the evening out of tourist arrivals in HK between peak periods and normal periods as well as the upgrade of tourism facilities by other countries. We believe Sa Sa will continue to be a beneficiary of the travelling Chinese consumer seeking to capitalise on the pricing differences between China and Hong Kong. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 In the short term, we believe there is some risk of weak sales for Sa Sa. Given rental cost pressure, this places risks on margins for FY14 (year ending Mar-14). However, we believe there is risk of lower rental cost growth for FY15, which would be beneficial for margins. Expansion in Mainland China may continue to be an earnings drag on Sa Sa. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Mar-15 PT of HK$9.40 is based on a PEG of 1.0x (in line with our big cap discretionary target PEG), and two-year earnings CAGR of 24% post 2015. Key downside risks include: (1) Weakness in sales in the companys core HK business; (2) Higher-than-expected cost inflation; (3) Any external factors that may negatively impact Mainland Chinese tourism into HK.

Company overview Samsung Card (SSC) is a mono-line credit card issuer providing diversified credit card financial services, along with installment financing and leasing services. As a mono-line issuer, the company is primarily wholesale-funded, including card debentures and asset-backed securities. Investment case Our key investment thesis on SSC is that it is one of the largest beneficiaries in the Korea financial space of the improving macro view for Korea, given the 1) top-line benefit from a revival in domestic consumption, and 2) easing regulatory pressure on the card interchange fee scheme under benign inflation pressure. Help from Samsung group affiliates on new customer acquisitions as well as improved prospects of shareholder-friendly capital management should create additional upside. Resilience of the growth outlook We project SSCs earnings to grow by 11% Y/Y in FY14 on the back of stable net interest income growth and improvements in credit cost. While FY13E credit cost improvement has been slower than expected, we believe credit costs will start on a recovering trajectory in FY14 as moral hazard issues related to the government initiated bail-out funds fade away. A meaningful recovery in domestic consumption could also provide upside to our earnings estimates. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Unforeseen asset quality problems from the retail segment and further tightening in the regulatory landscape may put our earnings estimates at risk. However, considering our top-down view of a modest economic recovery and benign inflationary environment for FY14E, we do not include this in our base-case scenario. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our SOTP valuation of W51,000 (Dec-14) is based on the 3Q13 NAV breakdown of the company, applying different valuation multiples for: 1) implied capital allocations for core card operations (9% premium applied), 2) distributable excess capital (treated as cash), and 3) non-distributable excess capital (35% discount applied). Key downside risks are regulatory changes and a deterioration of household asset quality.

Company overview SFM is the largest non-life insurer in Korea with a dominant market share of 25.9% in terms of direct premium written. Its business portfolio comprises LT insurance (69% of direct premium written in), auto insurance (22%), and general insurance policies (9%) as of FY12. Conservative underwriting and strong balance sheet (RBC >400%) are key differentiation factors. Investment case Higher capital deployment expectation in FY14 (+50% y/y net profit increase in FY14, active capital manage: 2/3 of net profit is scheduled to return shareholders as dividend & share buyback), restoring the channel bargaining power (market share gains), long-term growth potential from the long-term care insurance segment capturing the fast growing ageing population are key share price drivers for 2014, in our view. Resilience of the growth outlook The long-term line, which accounts for ~65% revenue/ ~70-80% of total profit, is moving into the matured stage. As the healthcare claim increase speed as well as minimum guarantee reserving growth (cash outflow) would exceed the premium growth rate (cash inflow), different from the industry trend, we expect the companys adequate pricing focus on HNWIs/ affluent mass will be rewarded proving solid cash-flow generation ability. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Although the claim trend on health insurance looks solid and is expected to manage under ~25% of mortality profit, a larger-than-expected new business sales slowdown in private health insurance and/or sudden claim increase due to recent aggressive sales on the cancer insurer should remain a key risk for 2014 earnings outlook. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of W330,000 is based on SOTP valuation target of 0.7x FY14E P/BV for the non-life business and 1.2x FY14E P/EV for life. Key risks: (1) a largerthan-expected new business sales slowdown in private health insurance; (2) another potential auto insurance premium cut; (3) further unfavourable regulatory changes in the long-term line.

Company overview Sands China is the leading developer, owner, and operator of integrated resorts and casinos in Macau. The groups strategy is to develop Cotai and to leverage its integrated resort business model to create Asias premier gaming, leisure, and convention destination. The group owns four casino properties including Sands Macao, the Venetian Macao, The Plaza and Sands Cotai Central (SCC). Investment case We expect the strongest earnings growth from Sands China in 2014, driven by: (1) robust industry mass market performance (we expect Macau mass market revenue to grow 28% in 2014); (2) yield improvement from existing capacity (particular its newly open SCC); (3) margin expansion from operating leverage; and (4) nonorganic growth from its new retail area opening in 2H14 in SCC. Going forward, we believe that the Streets earnings upgrades (our FY14E EBITDA is 10% above consensus) and multiple expansion (given its earnings quality and growth profile) will be the key drivers. Resilience of the growth outlook Sands China has the largest exposure to the fast-growing high-margin mass market and non-gaming business among its peers in Macau, contributing to more than 80% of their EBITDA based to our estimate. The resilience of internal consumptiondriven mass market and non-gaming revenue should give Sands higher earnings visibility, we think. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Policy changes from Mainland China may post risks to the sector, such as visa restrictions. Newsflow related to anti-corruption flight in China may hurt sentiment and potentially VIP market demand. Macroeconomic slowdown in China may also impact gaming revenue, especially the credit- driven VIP segment. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of HK$62.0 is based on our SOTP valuation, applying a 15-19x 2014E EBITDA multiple to its casinos. We assume Macau gaming revenue to grow 16% for FY13 and 16% for FY14. Downside risks: regulatory risks from China; execution risks from Sands Cotai Central; and potential credit risk around its direct VIP business.

Company overview Sapphire Technology is Korea based and mainly engaged in manufacture of sapphire ingots. It produces rectangular structured synthetic sapphire ingots in 2, 4 and 6 diameters with vertical horizontal gradient freezing method. It is also involved in manufacture of wafers. Its products are used for LEDs, LCD projectors, windows and smartphone components. Key customers: Apple, LG Innotek, Seoul Opto, Hansol, etc. Investment case STC is the sole vendor of Apples iPhone 5S home button sapphire wafers. We maintain our bullish view based on: 1.) Expanded application in smartphone components like camera lens cover, home button; 2.) Strong LED demand growth from LED lighting cycle. Nevertheless, we expect further demand expansion for smartphone/tablet applications. We believe structural improvement coupled with STCs differentiated technology edge will provide favorable riskreward to investors. Resilience of the growth outlook We forecast 2014 iPhones 6S/6C will carry sapphire home buttons. STC is actively involved in R&D of a wearable device, home button for tablets and sapphire cover glasses for smartphones for its key client(s), hence there could be upside risk to our demand forecast. We forecast a 28% CAGR in LED chip demand from 2013-15. Given muted capacity expansion from STCs competitors, we expect sapphire ingot supply to turn tighter in 2014/2015, extending the price recovery since early2013. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Key risk is SiC, which could be used as substrate for LED, and Cree is main manufacturer using it. If Cree increases its m/s in LED, it could potentially jeopardize sapphire demand. Given STC is focusing heavily on non-LED applications, its prospects could be heavily dependent on one single customer Apple. If demand for Apples products falls short, it could have a severe impact on STC. Owing to the commodity nature of sapphire ingots, STCs earnings trend will depend heavily on supply/demand (i.e. supply discipline from STC's competitors). Price target, and risks to our investment view We use sector average of 18x FY15E fwd P/E to derive Dec14 PT of W60,000. We estimate STC to deliver stronger than sector earnings growth in 2014/15 and hence think the valuation is justified. Risks: Substitute material for LED wafer, limited negotiating power against Apple, and non adoption in future Apple products.

Company overview SapuraKencana (SAKP) is Malaysias largest integrated oil services company, involved in EPC (Fabrication), Installation of Pipelines and Facilities (Pan-Malaysia jobs with further expansion via PLSV charters in Brazil), Hook-up & Commissioning (via 100% owned Sakru), Drilling (16 tender rigs + 5 newbuilds), Development & Production, (Berantai marginal field), Marine Services and Geotech & Maintenance. Investment case SAKP, with its uniquely shaped portfolio of oil services across the supply chain as well as globally, is a key beneficiary of both (i) solid global oil services capex needs (via its Petrobras PLSV contracts, Tender Rig portfolio) as well as (ii) Petronas M$300B capex plan where it plans to maintain or even grow production in the country with a thrust on developing marginal fields. We also see potential earnings growth from more fabrication jobs coming through, potential contract wins from Malaysia T&I contract and earnings contribution from the acquisition of Newfields Malaysia Oil and Gas asset, potentially adding 30-45% to our FY15E/16E earnings. Resilience of the growth outlook SAKP stands to benefit from Petronas looking to spend M$300B over 2011-15. We expect earnings growth to be driven by (i) strong orderbook from its drilling segment with the recently closed Seadrill tender rig acquisition, (ii) more fabrication jobs coming through (both locally and internationally), (iii) US$1.4B in order wins relating to Brazil PLSV, (iv) contract wins from the Malaysia T&I contract, and (v) potential earnings contribution from Newfields Malaysia Oil and Gas asset acquisition. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 SAKPs earnings risks include (i) rising gearing and capex from Newfields Malaysia Oil and Gas asset and recently closed Seadrill tender rig acquisitions, (ii) execution risk given the number of projects SAKP is working on, and (iii) rising competition for Malaysia jobs as Petronas looks to bring in international yards participation for more complex jobs and international bidders for Malaysia T&I contract. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jan-15 price target of M$5.0 is based on SOTP of: a) Tender Rig business valued at 18x P/E; b) OCSS valued at 22x P/E; c) Fab and HUC valued at 22x P/E; d) EJV valued at 16x P/E; and e) Others valued at 15x P/E. Key risks to our price target are (a) rising gearing, (b) execution risks, and (c) potential increased international competition.

Company overview Seoul Semiconductor, Koreas leading LED manufacturer was established in 1987. The company offers a wide range of products for the handset, large display BLU, automotive, and general lighting. Its products include light emitting diode (LED) custom display, LED dot matrix, LED back light, photo diode, photo transistor, LED IR lamp, LED display with controller, and LED array. Key customers include Samsung Electronics, LG Display, Samsung SDI, Hyundai Motor Company, etc. Investment case SSC continued to outpace its peers in the lighting market, reaching c.50% as of 3Q13. We estimate LED lighting growth to accelerate once the residential market begins showing more appetite toward products. In the meantime, we prefer SSC as the most leveraged lighting play for rapidly growing commercial/outdoor lighting segment and expect the company to post solid margin improvement into 2014. Resilience of the growth outlook SSCs revenues will get a boost from penetrating into Apple products, and we expect mobile BLU to represent 12%/15%/18% of total sales in FY13/14E/15E. We estimate SSC to take 1%/6%/20% allocation from all Apple product lines in FY13/14/15E. In addition, management indicated that the company may need to raise capacity in 2014 to meet the market demand, although the magnitude of the expansion is yet to be finalized. We take a constructive view on the expansion plan as we expect the shipment demand to grow by 25 30% Y/Y in FY14/15. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Key risks to our earnings outlook include: 1.) Slower-than-expected general lighting sales due to slow adoption rate in the commercial/outdoor lighting segment, 2.) Larger- than-expected pricing pressure, which could potentially lower the margins, and 3.) Aggressive capacity expansion from China MOCVD addition, which could corrupt supply/demand dynamics, leading to weak pricing trend. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec14 PT of W50,000 is based on 3.8x trailing 12 month P/B (mid cycle valuation). Key risks to our bullish view include: 1.) Higher than expected LED package price decline. 2.) Slower than expected LED TV penetration and slower than expected market share gain at mobile display BLU 3.) Delayed general lighting market adoption and 4.) Earlier than expected penetration of OLED in display and lighting.

Company overview Sesa Sterlite is one of the largest diversified non-ferrous metal companies in India, with operations in aluminium, copper, zinc, iron ore, oil and power. It is a subsidiary of Vedanta Group, a London-based company controlled by Anil Agarwal. Sesa Sterlite has significant size and scale in all the base metals, oil and power. Investment case While the stock has run up significantly from recent lows, in our view, the re-rating is likely to continue over next year as: a) SSLT delivers consolidated EBITDA of ~$1.2-1.4bn on a quarterly run rate with volume growth in key oil and zinc subs; b) net debt continues to fall with strong cash generation at subs and limited capex; c) diversified resource base providing earnings stability; and d) regulatory environment continues to improve. We expect SSLT to emerge as a key holding across MM/industrials, given size, cash flow strength and embedded option values from power and ally investments. Resilience of the growth outlook Zinc and oil account for a large part of current earnings (~73% in FY14E); we expect this to reduce over the next 2 years to ~60% as other segments ramp up. Diversified resource base provides earnings stability and should result in a higher multiple than current ones. Our earnings growth forecast is not driven by commodity prices, but by volume growth across all key segments. We forecast attributable EBITDA CAGR of 11% over FY13-16E driven by a combination of higher volumes, more supportive INR. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 The biggest risk to our earnings outlook for 2014 is regulatory uncertainty. Over the recent past, SSLT's iron ore, copper and power operations have been impacted for a variety of regulatory reasons with its Goa iron ore mining operations yet to re-start. Delay in re-starting of Goa mining as well as any regulatory hurdles for its other business segments constitute the biggest risk to our earnings estimates. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Sep-14 PT of Rs240 is based on a sum-of-the-parts (SOTP) valuation and we assign EV/EBITDA multiples to underlying EBITDA. SESAs PT is based on a SOTP valuation for FY15E financials. Key risks include: 1) no start to Goa mining; 2) the power segment ramp-up gets delayed and 3) significant price decline across key commodities.

Company overview Since its founding, Siam Cement has diversified, under the name Siam Cement Group (SCG), to meet the needs of Thailands growing economy. SCC has five core businesses focused on chemicals, paper, cement, building materials, and distribution. It comprises over 100 companies under five business groups and handles more than 64,000 product items which are sold to all regions of the world. Investment case SCC offers distinctive leverage to both domestic and global economic growth. Its cement and building materials business should benefit significantly in 2014-2017, in our view, from the rise in government spending as it starts to build infrastructure projects to improve the countrys logistics leading to increased urbanization and a rise in new property projects. Its chemical business on the other hand should benefit from improved economies of the West while at the same time see a much more balanced supply demand outlook resulting in higher margins and higher earnings. Resilience of the growth outlook Due to SCCs diversified businesses its well equipped to handle challenges. Weakness in cement business in 2005-08 was offset by the chemical business, while cement business did very well in 2011-2012 offsetting weakness in chemicals business. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Delays in government spending could hurt our domestic cement demand growth forecasts, weakness in global economy hurting the demand for petrochemical products resulting in lower margins and hence lower cash flows from petrochemicals business. Price target, and risks to our investment view Dec-14 PT of Bt530 based on SOTP, driven by various EV/EBITDA multiples that we attach to each business division, as per respective return in terms of EBITDA/assets (assoc. 4%, cement 40%, petchem 15%, paper 24%, bldg mat 17%). We incorporate a 10% growth premium to our Net SOTP reflecting new investments in the cement sector in Myanmar and Indonesia which have not yet been incorporated into our model. Risks: lower petrochemical, lower cement demand and rising oil and coal prices.

Company overview Siam Commercial Bank (SCB) is one of the leading commercial banks in Thailand. The bank provides a full range of services and has significant market share in mortgage and private blue-chip lending. After having built a strong retail banking franchise, SCB has shown an excellent non-NII contribution and cost efficiency. This has resulted in the highest ROE among major Thai banks. Investment case The stock has underperformed the sector due to concerns about potential NPL formation and recent aggressive lending. However, we note that earnings have been stronger than expected, giving SCB flexibility in building a higher LLR position. The ongoing maturity of high-cost deposits should drive funding costs lower, leading to a better NIM trend going forward. We believe the banks NIM will expand by 10bps in FY14E. Being ahead in provisioning, SCBs profitability should also remain strong in the future. We expect EPS growth of 15% in FY14 with a sustained ROE of 21%. Resilience of the growth outlook SCB is the #1 Thai bank in the mortgage business with ~30% market share. Hence, SCB will benefit the most on our expectation that mortgage loan growth had in the past lagged overall loan growth, but that growth is due to accelerate in the medium term on the back of strong residential completions waiting for transfers by developers. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 We expect credit demand to shift to the corporate sector as Thailands growth drivers shift from consumption to investment. This trend could expose the bank to an increased pie of corporate loans, resulting in high LDR, low-margin corporate loans, higher concentration risk and higher capital consumption, and drive down ROE. Price target, and risks to our investment view We remain Overweight with a Dec-14 price target of Bt210 based on our DDM, using a 19.5% ROE, 12.5% COE and 7.5% growth. Key risks include high opex, stronger-than-expected competition in retail and corporate lending, and changes in asset quality conditions, especially given the aggressive assets growth in the past few years.

Company overview SGM is a metals recycler that purchases, processes, and sells ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal. It is the worlds largest publicly-listed recycling company and has operations in North America, Europe and Australasia across 270 locations. In FY13, SGMs volumes were primarily derived from North America. Investment case Earnings recovery for SGM will rely on 4 key factors: 1) A lift in volumes; 2) Improved raw material availability and price; 3) Rising consumer confidence; and 4) Tighter cost control. With the exception of consumer confidence, the remaining three factors have begun to show early signs of improvement. Given the fixed cost leverage of the business, the trajectory of the companys earnings recovery should be steep when all of the factors above align. Resilience of the growth outlook Commentary from both SGM and its peer SCHN indicates that the supply of scrap has begun to improve. In addition, SGMs recent focus on cost savings and resolving inventory issues provides a level of confidence that the business is not just looking at the top-line to grow earnings. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014

Despite continued increases in auto sales in the US (automotive scrap is a key source of scrap metal), there has been little evidence to suggest that this has increased the scrappage rate for vehicles. While our US Autos & Auto Parts analyst Ryan Brinkman firmly believes the vehicle scrappage rate will rise, investors may be wary of such until there is firm evidence the number of cars being scrapped in the US is increasing. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Price Target is calculated on an evenly weighted combination of our Jun-14 sum-of-the-parts (SoP) and Group DCF valuations, adjusted for grossed up dividends where applicable (see datasheet). Downside risks include: a decline in steel/scrap prices; low economic growth in the US, UK and Australia, leading to further deterioration in scrap quality; softening of Turkish demand, which would impact the price achieved for SGMs output; and intake prices remaining high due to competition for scrap arisings.

SIAL.SI,SIA SP Price: S$10.45 Price Target: S$13.00
Company overview SIA provides passenger and cargo transportation services. It is the ninth largest international passenger airline (based on RPK) and sixth largest international cargo airline (based on FTK) globally. It also owns 80% of SIA Engineering, 33% of Tigerair and 20% of Virgin Australia. 1QFY14 revenue breakdown: Passenger: 68%, Cargo: 14%, Others: 18%. Investment case At 0.9x P/BV and with net cash amounting to c.38% of current market cap and the ability to sustain a S$0.7 average annual dividend (implying a c.6% yield) for the next three years, we believe SIA offers the lowest risk option to play the longer-term cyclical recovery among the full-service airlines. New budget carrier Scoot will help drive organic growth and help reduce SIAs dependence on the more cyclical premium business longer term. Resilience of the growth outlook We believe the market tends to underestimate SIAs potential return. SIA offers c.58% upside potential to its peak valuations. If SIA pays out one-third of its current net cash balance or S$1.28 DPS, the yield would be 12%. Alternatively, it could partially divest its stake in SIA Eng via a dividend in specie. Reducing its 78.8% stake in SIA Eng to 51% would imply an c.13% dividend yield based on current share prices. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Volatile fuel prices, weak cargo market, increased competition from low-cost carriers and Middle Eastern carriers, value-destroying M&A. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun-14 price target of S$13 is based on 1.1x P/BV, in line with SIA's historical average over the past 10 years. This is well supported by SIAs liquidation value of c.S$13.3/shr. Key downside risks: deterioration in the macro environment, rising fuel prices, worse-than-expected competition from low-cost carriers and Middle Eastern carriers, value-destroying M&A, and a weaker Singapore dollar.

Investment case We expect Sinopecs refining margins to improve as China moves to tougher gasoline standards with a sequential benefit as diesel specs tighten in 2015. China IV gasoline may add cUS$1/bl to refining margins in 2014 and almost a similar incremental uplift for diesel in 2015. Further upstream asset injections and strong natural gas production growth as well as further natural gas price hikes should support upstream profitability. Resilience of the growth outlook We see Sinopec earnings to be driven by robust Chinese oil demand growth (4% y/y) from double-digit gasoline demand growth more than offset by diesel demand growth at 1% y/y. We expect Sinopec to capture incremental refining margin as the country rolls out its tighter gasoline specifications. Oil prices at $112/bl Brent in 2014 should support upstream profitability as well as asset injections Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Risks are lower oil product demand and margins, a collapse in chemicals profitability from weaker margins and less than expected incremental refining margin upside from fuel spec reform. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of HK$7.5 is based on our DCF valuation of the different segments, using a WACC of 10.5%; growth rate 2%. We expect improving returns, driven by a repositioning towards the upstream segment, to close the valuation gap with peers. Key downside risks are lower oil product/chemical demand and margins, asset integration/execution issues, and sharply higher oil prices. We have an OW rating on the stock.

Company overview Listed on the HK Mainboard on May 23, 2013, Sinopec Engineering Group (SEG) is the leading oil refining, petrochemical and new coal chemical engineering company in China. According to ICIS Consulting, SEG ranked #1 in 2010 and 2011, based on revenue generated from services provided to hydrocarbon industries among all PRC exploration and design enterprises and globally among the top 10 contractors in 2011. Investment case We expect SEG to ride on capex up-cycle for China's new-coal-chemical sector in the coming years in light of the country's abundance in coal resources and shortage in oil reserves. SEG is well positioned to capture growth opportunities in the field leveraging on Sinopec Group's planned investment and SEG's strong engineering capabilities, R&D platform, and technology licensing. Moreover, we believe SEG is competitive outside China, with its strength in engineering and ability to offer total solutions. Resilience of the growth outlook We expect order flow for new coal chemical projects to further accelerate from 4Q13. As of end-3Q13, SEGs backlog reached Rmb101B, equating to 2.1x of its one-year forward sales. This ensures SEGs near-term earnings visibility, in our view. SEG's superior cash generation capability and solid balance sheet with net cash position provide firm support to the company's further expansion and dividend payout potential, in our opinion. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Key risks to SEGs earnings outlook include 1) slower-than-expected new order awarding for new coal chemical projects; 2) execution risks for overseas projects. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of HK$13.60 is based on DCF (terminal g 1%, WACC 11%)with peer group valuation considered. Our PT corresponds to a P/E of 10.6x/9.0x and a P/B of 1.5x/1.2x on 2014/2015E. Key risks to our PT: Delay in major projects; Unexpected cost inflation; Unfavorable change in foreign exchange rate; Unexpected drop in oil/gas prices and/or unexpected increase in coal prices.

Company overview Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical (SPC) is one of the five largest refineries owned by Sinopec Corp (51% shareholding). Post-refinery expansion and upgrades put into operation since early this year have enhanced SPC's processing capabilities, improved margins through the use of cheaper crude oil grades, and increased the flexibility to switch between products to capture changes in profitability. Investment case We expect further uplift to SPCs profitability with tougher fuel standards, and free cash flow generation should improve because the SPC has completed upgrades for China V gasoline and China IV diesel. Because a price hike occurred when Shanghai moved to China IV gasoline, the margin expansion for moving to China V will be Rmb50/ton (cUS$0.2/bbl). Shanghai will raise prices for China V gasoline on 1 November. The impact on earnings is expected to be more significant in 2014-15, when Zhejiang and Jiangsu also implement China IV diesel standards. Resilience of the growth outlook SPC can lower material costs and achieve better production flexibility for its refining segment following the refinery upgrade. Overall, we expect Chinese oil demand growth to remain similar Y/Y, at 4% in 2014.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Key downside risks are lower oil product demand and margins, a collapse in chemicals profitability from weaker margins and lower-than-expected incremental refining margin upside from fuel spec reform. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our DCF-derived Dec-14 PT of HK$2.5 implies 1.2x 2014E BV and 11.8x 2014E EPS. Our 1.2x P/B target multiple is in line with SPCs five-year historical P/B. We remain OW, as we believe valuations do not fully reflect our expectation of higher refining profitability from price increases for tougher Chinese fuel standards or improving free cash flow generation (FCF yield at c17% in 2014E) from the completion of the refinery upgrade investments. Key downside risks include a sharp spike in crude oil prices, leading to weaker margins, and lower Chinese oil demand growth and petrochemicals profitability.

Company overview SK Hynix manufactures semiconductors such as dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and NAND flash memory. Investment case SK Hynix is a DRAM centric company with more than 70% of its sales from DRAM. We maintain our view that DRAM industry will see a multi-year upturn cycle on 1.) Limited capacity expansion, 2.) Industry consolidation, and 3.) Ongoing strength in mobile and server DRAM offsetting weak PC DRAM. Although we are less bullish on NAND, we see this as a non-event for SK Hynix since its exposure to NAND market is much less than for other memory makers. Resilience of the growth outlook Due to halted production at Wuxi fab and temporary NAND capacity conversion into DRAM, DRAM and NAND will see double digit shipment decline in 4Q13. Nonoperating expense associated with the fire is a negative to bottomline earnings. Despite seasonal weakness, however, this implies stronger than expected 1H14, once operations normalize along with potential one time gain from insurance coverage. We estimate SK Hynix to generate historical high FCFs throughout our forecasting period (2015E) thanks to a healthy DRAM market and prudent capex within depreciation expense. We thus expect the companys financials to significantly improve and it will achieve an almost net cash position by end-2014. Risks to earnings outlook in 2014 Being a DRAM centric company, SK Hynixs earnings are highly correlated with DRAM ASPs which in turn depend on the market supply/demand situation. If other DRAM makers like Samsung and Micron ramp up DRAM production, we see downside risk to 2014 earnings outlook. We, however, believe such an oversupply situation is unlikely. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun14 PT of W39,000 is based on 1.7x P/B, based on high-end of its historical trading range since we expect its ROE to remain high during our forecast period. Key risks are lower-than-expected DRAM prices and margins and prolonged uncertainty around end-demand/inventories.

Company overview SK Innovation is the largest refining company in Korea and one of the largest integrated refining/petchem companies in Asia. SK Inno also has sizeable investments in upstream E&P which we forecast to account for 22% of 2013 revenues. Investment case For 2014 we like companies with organic growth trading at low valuations as we believe the industry outlook is only bearish to neutral. SK Inno is expected to almost triple its PX capacity in 2014 but more importantly, will upgrade its Incheon refinery so that it can double its current utilization rate while producing more valuable products at the same time. We believe the latter is the real value added of the capacity expansion project, which should allow SK Inno to grow earnings by 33% next year. Resilience of the growth outlook We have a more neutral view on refining as we believe new capacity in China will be offset by the closure of teapot refineries due to the upgrade of Chinese gasoline specs to China IV in 2014. While the startup of a new 400 bopd refinery in Saudi Arabia maybe negative for regional margins, we believe the impact will be smaller than expected as up to 40% of products will likely go to Europe while there will likely refinery closures in Japan and Australia next year to help offset the incremental volumes. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 The major risk to earnings in 2014 would be lower PX spreads due to significant capacity addition by the industry, including SK Inno. We current forecast PX spreads to fall from an average of $550/ton this year to $450/ton in 2014. However, with their own capacity expansion, we believe higher volumes will offset some margin decline. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of W180,000 is based on 0.7x 2014e BV vs forecasted ROE of 8-9%. We believe SK Inno should trade at above current trough valuations. Downside risk to our view are delays in the capacity expansion mentioned, highly volatile crude oil prices and slowdown in gasoline demand in countries where subsidies have been cut this year.

Company overview Tata Motors is among India's largest auto OEMs, with a dominant presence in the CV segment. The company acquired British OEM Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), which manufactures luxury cars and SUVs for the global market. Investment case The successful introduction of new models at JLR, including the New Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-type, will drive growth, in our view. This will likely offset the weakness in the domestic markets, where the business outlook remains challenging given the weak macro economic environment. Resilience of the growth outlook The demand environment remains encouraging for JLR across key markets, such as the U.S., China and U.K. Further, new product launches should drive healthy margins. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 An increase in competitive intensity from global luxury OEMs and a sustained slowdown in the domestic market.

Company overview Tata Steel is the worlds sixth-largest steel company with existing annual crude steel production capacity of ~30 MTPA. Tata Steel`s Jamshedpur (India) Works has a crude steel production capacity of 9.7 MTPA. Through investments in Corus, Millennium Steel and NatSteel Holdings, Singapore, it has created a manufacturing network spanning Europe, South-East Asia and the Pacific Rim countries. Investment case TATA remains our top pick despite the stock being up significantly from midAugust. In our view, expectations of a potential improvement in European metals demand is positive for TATAs European operations. We believe an improving Europe over the next two years, implies a further re-rating of the stock. In addition, domestic demand should remain stable with limited new capacity additions from major players. Potential investment sales to de-lever could provide further potential upside. Resilience of the growth outlook Recent data out of Europe support our thesis of improving steel demand in Europe. With the trough in Europe likely behind us, the focus has now moved to how fast TATA Europes earnings can ramp up. We expect TATA Europe to be EBITDApositive in the September and December quarters ($17-25/T) before rebounding further in the March quarter. We expect domestic steel demand to improve in FY15, which should benefit TATAs additional 1MT new capacity at Odisha. This should drive operating leverage for TATA given the relatively high fixed cost base of its India operations. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Our investment thesis is predicated on our view of improving demand in Europe and stable volume and pricing in the domestic market. A slowdown in Europe as well as a significant decline in domestic demand could provide pressure on volumes and prices and would constitute a key risk to our earnings. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun-14 PT of Rs500 is based on SOTP, where we value the India operations at 5.7x, Asia at 5.0x and European operations at 5.5x FY15E EV/EBITDA. Key risks (other than macro economic weakness) include a sharp decline in India profitability on higher inputs costs and/or increase in royalty, lower realizations on back of poor mix and demand in Europe stagnating, as against picking up.

Company overview Founded in 1993, TCLC is a leading mobile handset manufacturer in China with two main brands, Alcatel and TCL. Headquartered in Shenzhen, the company has its production lines in Huizhou and R&D centers in Shenzhen, Shanghai and Huizhou, with more than 1,300 engineers. TCLC has 91% of its sales outside China as of 1H13 and officially launched 3G smartphones in FY11. Investment case The structural change in company fundamentals is twofold, in our view: (1) the scale factor, which requires 1.2mn+ monthly shipments; and (2) flagship products, which TCL Comm has now attached in Idol/Hero models. This cycle is still under way, in our view. (1) The introduction of 4G LTE smartphones and the expansion of the distribution network should help maintain top-line momentum. (2) EMEA (especially Russia and Italy) and some countries in Asia Pacific (e.g., Malaysia) have seen rapid growth in FY13 and should see solid shipments in FY14. (3) GM rebounded to 19.6% in 3Q13 (2Q13: 18.9%; 1Q13: 16.4%; 4Q12: 15.6%) thanks to the smartphone scale factor and an ASP upsurge (3Q13: US$45.4; 2Q13: US$40; 1Q13: US37) and should continue to go up in FY14. Resilience of the growth outlook Phase 2 of the production facility in Huizhou, expected to be complete in Jun-14, could help support the demand for smartphones. Also, we expect GM to return to the 20%+ level in FY14 thanks to an ASP upsurge and the scale effect. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 (1) Poor reception for the upcoming smartphone products. (2) Increasing competitiveness of the low-cost smartphone markets. (3) Lower-than-expected sales/ margins of tablets. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our DCF-derived (g: 3%; WACC: 10%) Dec-14 price target of HK$8.20 implies a P/BV (FY15E) of 2.3x and a P/E (FY15E) of 8.4x. Key downside risks include marketing/R&D expenses continuing to rise and a tighter margin squeeze from operators.

Company overview Techtronics, listed in 1990, is one of the largest makers of branded power tools in China, with more than 70% of sales for the North American Market, Home Depot being the largest customer. The company has in-house R&D capabilities, with the bulk of its manufacturing in one location in Southern China. Key brands include Ryobi, Milwaukee, AEG, Hoover and Dirt Devil. Investment case Floor care could surprise in 2014. TTI is the largest global branded floor care company, with brands such as Hoover, VAX and Dirt Devil. Floor care divisional sales rose 17% Y/Y in 2013, due in part to the launch of a new product line-up in Hoover and VAX vacuum cleaners. Following additional costs in 1H13 related to moving production from Mexico to China, as well as additional R&D to develop more than 20 new models in 1H13, the benefits should start to flow to TTI in 2014, and we expect most of the impact to be felt in 2015. Resilience of the growth outlook European sales growth should come mostly through market share gains. European sales were 21% of total sales in 1H13 compared to 21% in 1H12 and 19% in 2H12. Growth in the European business was a respectable 8% Y/Y in 1H13, compared to flat sales growth in 2012. We expect TTI to continue to grow faster than the overall market in its power tools and floor care businesses, as TTI is less penetrated in Europe than in the U.S. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 (1) Improvement in the floor care business could not materialize. (2) European sales could weaken. (3) Milwaukee sales could fail to meet expectations. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our DCF-derived (beta: 1.3; g: 3%) Dec-14 price target of HK$28 implies a forward P/BV (FY14E) of 3.3x and a forward P/E of 15.8x (FY15E). Key downside risks to our price target include a rising cost of production in China, a slower-than-expected recovery in U.S. demand, implementation risk for new product introductions and the risk that new products could not be accepted by customers.

Company overview Tenaga is Malaysia's national utility for Peninsula Malaysia and Sabah in East Malaysia. It holds the monopoly in distribution and transmission, and a 50% market share of the grid's generation capacity with the remainder controlled by the IPPs. Investment case We are positive on Tenaga on the back of: (1) Benign coal prices: every US$1 / ton (lower than our assumption of US$88 / ton) adds 1% to earnings (2) Imported gas to replace 'expensive' oil distillates fuel, (3) Potential tariff reform on: (i) fuel cost passthrough, (ii) tariff increase (every 1% tariff increase adds 7% to earnings), (4) cost savings on expiry of IPP contracts with new TNB capacity starting post 2015/16. Additionally, management has flagged our ideal case, where gas below 1,000 MMScfd will be charged at RM13.70 per MMBTU, and the remainder will be charged on a similar cost sharing basis in place for Oil/Distillates, where TNB will rd reflect 1/3 of the incremental cost in their books. Resilience of the growth outlook We estimate Malaysia power growth at 4-5% (with upside from ETP) and we see Tenaga as a key beneficiary of rising energy demand. Once the fuel cost passthrough is implemented (under review by the government), this will provide longer term visibility on cash flow and earnings and hence be a multiple re-rating event in our view. In the time we see TNB benefiting from benign coal prices. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Tenagas earnings risks include: (i) delay in fuel cost pass through (ii) faster-thanexpected increase in coal cost (iii) lower utilization of coal fired plants which could see significant capacity coming off-line.

Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Aug-14 PT of M$11.60 is based on a 10-year DCF assuming a WACC of 7.5%. Our DCF assumes long-term average power demand growth of 4.1% pa (vs. 10-year historical average of 5.1% pa up to 2010). A key downside risk is faster-thanexpected increase in coal cost without an offsetting increase in tariffs, as even though a fuel-pass through formula (reviewed every six months) is in place, the quantum of increase is still subject to Cabinet approval. Another risk is longer than-expected gas curtailment that raises the cost of production and delay in fuel cost pass through once market-linked prices kick in for gas purchased from Melaka re- gasification plant.

Company overview Tencent is a leading internet service company with a foothold in social networks, online gaming and e-commerce. The company has built the largest social activity based user base in China through its popular products/services such as QQ, Qzone and WeChat. The company is a leading game developer and operator in China. Investment case Tencent's revenue is largely driven by online gaming and online community services. The two businesses contributed over 70% of Tencents total revenue. The company represented 47% of China's client-based online gaming market in 2Q, according to Analysys International. We believe the solid market leadership will remain intact in the next one to two years. Driven by the monetization of mobile social platforms, we expect Tencents revenue to grow 42% in 2014. Growth of high-margin mobile social gaming business should further drive up earnings growth acceleration and margin improvement in the next two years. Resilience of growth outlook The revenue growth outlook hinges primarily on Tencents ability to continuously roll out successful game titles across PC & mobiles. If Tencent is unable to launch successful titles and game genres continuously, revenue growth could be adversely impacted. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Weaker-than-expected monetization ability of Tencents mobile social platform; launch of mobile social games at a slower pace. Price target, and risks to our investment view We are OW Tencent with a Jun-14 PT of HK$506, based on 2014E/PE of HK$16.61, FY14-16E non-GAAP EPS CAGR of 25% and a PEG of 1.2. We leverage PEG as our primary valuation methodology as it balances valuation multiples against growth prospects. Our PT implies 30x 2014E/PE, 23x 2015E/PE. Downside risks: cannibalization between mobile games and PC games; core PC games aging faster than expected.

Company overview Having commenced operations in 1990, TUF is now a leading processor and exporter of frozen seafoods; canned tuna is its main product. Its main growth strategy is to acquire facilities and brands. Its position in the industry was helped by its acquisition of MWB in Europe which added 100,000 tons to its tuna canning capacity. TUF is one of the few companies in Thailand that owns brands recognized globally, such as Chicken of the Sea, John West, Petite Navire and many more. In Thailand its canned tuna is known as Sealect and snacks are branded Fisho; TUF created both brands. Investment case We believe the worst is over for TUF. While the EMS impact still lingers on shrimp farming, we expect the pace of shrimp price increases to be more stable and predictable. Hence, TUF as a processor should be able to pass on price rises more effectively. TUF has also scaled back capacity resulting in better utilization and turnaround in profitability. Tuna volumes in the OEM business have shown signs of a pick up after tuna price stabilization. As more than two-thirds of its sales are to the US and Europe, TUF also provides leverage to developed markets, where our economists expect GDP growth to accelerate from 1% to 2% in 2014.

Resilience of the growth outlook Throughout the trough and bull cycles, TUF has never made a loss in a single quarter since its establishment. However, earnings can fluctuate from quarter to quarter depending on the short-term price trend of raw materials. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 TUFs earnings risks include another prolonged EMS outbreak, resurgence of competition in the US market which would affect prices and margins. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of Bt63 is based on 15x 12mth fwd P/E, 1 S.D. above its historical average; we think this is reasonable given TUF's higher sales contribution from branded products post the acquisition of MW Brands. Downside risks include margin squeeze from inability to pass on rising costs, removal of EU's preferential tariff to the ACP countries, strengthening of Baht vs. the Euro and US$.

Company overview Top Glove is the worlds largest glove manufacturer, with global market share of 25%. Of its 41.9B pieces of gloves in installed capacity, 80% is supplied to the medical industry. Key to its success are its economies of scale and very hands-on management, while its just-completed automation initiatives should further drive efficiency. Investment case We are positive on Top Gloves strategy in augmenting its market share in the fast growing nitrile glove segment via its 60% capacity expansion over Jun-13/Apr-14, which should drive top-line growth. Nitriles contribution to total volumes is expected to rise from 20% in FY13 to 30-35% by FY14, with the remainder from latex gloves. The improved product mix (nitrile commands up to 5-6ppt higher gross margins versus latex) coupled with savings from automation of its production lines (to reduce labor requirements by 30%) will support stable to rising margins for FY14/16, in our view. Resilience of the growth outlook Malaysias export of nitrile gloves chalked up a strong CAGR growth of 43% over 2008-2012. Strong demand is expected to continue mainly from the developed nations (US, Europe and Japan), which we believe will be sufficient to absorb the estimated 23% CAGR in supply over 2014/16. The price of raw material (latex) is at a four-year low with prices anticipated to remain soft, which will also support bottom-line growth. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Top Gloves earnings could be affected by i) greater-than-expected nitrile glove production capacity by domestic and regional producers resulting in an over-capacity in the market; ii) a steep upward revision in gas tariffs with the removal in subsidies. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun-14 PT of M$6.70 is based on 16x FY14E P/E and 15x FY15E P/E; 15x is the stocks long-term historical mean. Key downside risks are: (1) stronger raw material prices and M$ currency; (2) waning demand for the companys lower-end powdered natural rubber latex gloves; and (3) higher energy (i.e., gas) costs from the removal of fuel subsidies. We estimate that a 10-24% pa rise in gas tariffs would need a 0.5-1.2% pa rise in ASPs to sustain margins, which is manageable and can be passed on to customers, in our view (gas accounts for just 5% of total production costs).

Company overview TSMC is the worlds largest semiconductor foundry, providing wafer fabrication services to global fabless and IDM customers like QCOM, NVDA, AMD, MTK. Investment case Given our expectations of robust demand from Apple, more customers signing up for the 20nm move (now QCOM, too) and a delay for 14nm at Intel, we hold upbeat demand expectations for TSMCs 20nm for 2014. Moreover, we expect the companys structural profitability to improve, helped by rising ASPs and better cost control. Resilience of the growth outlook TSMC now expects 20nm revenues in 2014 to be bigger than 28nm in 2012, in line with our belief that 20nm is not a small node for 2014. Moreover, 20nm is a key node for TSMC because winning at 20nm could enable high market share retention at 16nm (TSMC is pitching it as a minor transition achievable with limited design changes). Moreover, the market has been concerned about Global Foundries/Samsung taking share in 28nm, which we believe is mostly limited to PolySiON products. For higher-end 28nm HKMG (High-K Metal Gate), TSMC still retains 90%+ share with very limited competition, indicating that competition concerns are overblown, in our view. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 A slower-than-expected yield curve for 20nm and competition narrowing the gap, especially Global Foundries for 28nm HKMG. While the market has been worried about rising capex intensity and competition, our analysis indicates that heightened capex intensity is not eroding returns and that competition from Intel is still likely to remain very selective. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun-14 PT of NT$130 is based on a 15x 12-month forward P/E, the long-run average P/E, or 3.3x FY14E P/B for a company generating 22% ROE, at the higher end of its historical P/B range. Longer-term risks include Intels abandoning ATOM and stepping headlong into ARM Foundry, and a slowdown in mobile device growth.

The company has been acquiring coal concessions over the last several years, but they are still a small part of overall operations. Investment case Equipment sales have fallen 58% from peak, and UNTR has seen PE multiples compress from 17-18x to 12-13x. We believe that a lot of the bad news is now in the price, and risk reward supports positioning for a cyclical recovery in volumes. 3Q results lend confidence to our view that a weaker currency will cushion margins. Construction and agri volumes have picked up and we believe mining demand will revert to covering replacement needs over the next 4-6 quarters driving growth. Resilience of the growth outlook 1) We estimate Komatsu sales to mining are running at 50-60% of replacement needs, which we expect to normalize by 2H14E. 2) A weaker rupiah will cushion margin and drive earnings higher. 3) Management thinks FY13 should mark the bottom for equipment business, and expects 5-7% sales growth in FY14E. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Renewed slippage in coal prices (above $80/T recently) could push replacement capex out further. Some of the margin upside may need to be shared with mining owners. We estimate every 1% change in Rp/$ rate impacts PAT by 3%. Reported earnings may be eroded by translation gains/losses. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of Rp23,500 is based on DCF (rfr of 8%, COE 17.7%, WACC 13.9%). Risks to our view: weak coal mining economics pressuring UNTRs equipment and contracting businesses, Komatsu sales disappoint, Rupiah moves higher.

Company overview Weichai Power (Weichai) is a leading producer of diesel engines, which are used in heavy-duty vehicles, construction machines, vessels and power generators. It also holds a 51% stake in Shaanxi Heavy Duty Motor, Chinas fourth-largest manufacturer of heavy-duty trucks, and Shaanxi Fast Gear, one of the leading gearbox producers in China. Weichai first listed its H-shares on the HK Main Board on Mar. 11, 2004, and subsequently its A shares on Apr. 30, 2007. Investment case Weichai has strengthened its leading positions in the domestic market by regaining lost ground in diesel engines for heavy-duty-truck (HDT) and construction machinery. We expect truck sales growth to remain strong in 2014 driven by a continued demand recovery for logistics trucks. In addition, LNG truck engines and hydraulic components are emerging as new growth drivers. Resilience of the growth outlook We expect Chinas resilient highway freight traffic growth (highly correlated to retail sales growth) to support demand recovery for logistics trucks into 2014, which have been Weichai's key customers' main focus. Replacement demand for trucks sold prior to early 2011 is likely to kick in from end-2013 given the elevated utilization levels. Moreover, investment in KION offers exposure to an EU capex recovery, and we believe Weichai is one of the Chinese capital goods plays capable of benefiting from the potential capex recovery in the Eurozone. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 A key risk to Weichai's earnings outlook for 2014 is the faster-than-expected vertical integration by end customers, which may pose as a threat to Weichai's market share. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-2014 PT of HK$37.0 is based on DCF (WACC 12.1%, COE 14.1% (rfr 5%, equity risk premium 7%, beta 1.3x), and target P/E multiples, with peer valuations and trading history considered. Our PT translates into a target PT of 13.1x/11.7x,and P/B of 1.8x/1.6x on FY14/15E. Downside risks: 1) Weaker-than-expected recovery in heavy-duty truck sales and construction machinery sales; 2) worse-than-expected synergy from the Linde acquisition.

WIPR.BO,WPRO IN Price: Rs480.10 Price Target: Rs560.00
Company overview Wipro is one of Indias largest IT services players with FY13 revenues of c.USD 7 billion. Wipro serves nearly ~950 clients with a diverse range of service offerings. The company recently demerged other businesses from IT services to sharpen its focus. Investment case We keep the faith in Wipro's revival/recovery story and believe that the management has driven the right structural changes, results of which should be visible in the coming quarters. Some structural positives are visible - (a) broad-based revenue growth in Sep-13 quarter as all verticals, geographies and service lines reported healthy growth, (b) solid margin performance suggesting that focus on productivitybased execution is beginning to pay off, (c) Q/Q US$ revenue growth guidance at 1.8-3.6% for Dec-13 quarter suggests some sustained momentum going into a seasonally weak quarter, (d) Wipro should benefit from the healthy demand environment in CY14 Resilience of the growth outlook We believe expectations are relatively low for Wipro and moderate growth (compared to peers) is priced in to the current stock price. However, the structural changes in the company should start delivering results in the next calendar year. Management also pointed to improvement in win rates, which will likely drive revenue growth. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 The key risk for Wipro's earnings is weakness in demand due to macro weakness/event. An adverse US immigration bill might impact Wipros growth prospects. Pricing decline and supply-side pressures are the other key risks for earnings. Price target, and risks to our investment view We have a Neutral rating on Wipro with Mar-14 price target of INR 560. Our PT is based on one-year forward P/E multiple of 16x; this implies a ~15% discount to our target multiple for TCS of 19x. We think the discount is reasonable given Wipros lower expected growth and margins. Upside risks: Better than expected demand environment; productivity-driven margin gains. Downside risks: Weakness in the spending environment, INR appreciation (vs. USD) and supply-side pressures.

Xinyi is a major supplier of replacement autoglass (about 30% U.S. market share for nonoriginal manufacturer autoglass) and also makes construction glass and float glass. Investment case (1) Float glass prices continue to rise, and the price hike in 2H13 exceeds the rises in the cost of natural gas and soda ash. We expect to see stable float glass gross margins in FY14. (2) New solar subsidies announced on 31 August allow for more certain expansion of solar modules and solar glass in FY14. (3) Electric glass, which Xinyi started producing in May 2013, is doing well and should continue to do so into FY14. (4) The more stable autoglass and construction glass are performing well and should remain solid in FY14. Resilience of the growth outlook We believe the solar spin-off suggests that there is an urgency to create a separate vehicle to take advantage of the upcoming surge in solar power installations in China, following the announcement of new solar subsidies at the end of Aug-13. The new listing would also allow Xinyi to better finance expansion in electric glass, float glass and other glass operations. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 (1) Demand for electric glass could weaken unexpectedly. (2) Float glass prices could drop significantly. (3) The impact of solar subsidies could be less favorable than expected. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our DCF-derived (beta: 1.3; g: 3%) Dec-14 price target of HK$10.90 implies a forward P/BV of 2.7x and a forward P/E of 10.2x (FY15E). Key downside risks to our price target include falling demand for construction glass, which may result from a cooling property market in China, and further weakness in PV glass demand from Europe.

Company overview AAC manufactures speaker boxes, speakers, receivers, and microphones for handsets and tablets. Its key customers are Apple and Samsung. Investment case We retain our negative view on AAC because we believe that Chinese competitors will grab 23%/32% of Apples acoustic component orders in 2013/14. We expect AACs allocation from Apple to drop from 56% in 2013 to 52% in 2014, depressing ASP and eroding margins. Resilience of the growth outlook Following the iPad 5 launch in October 2013, we have a negative view on AAC for the next three quarters. We will revisit our thesis when the iPhone 6 comes out in summer 2014. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 We foresee four major risks to our investment thesis: 1) If voice-controlled apps, such as iPhones Siri, take off, smartphone manufacturers may be willing to pay more for higher quality acoustic components; 2) AAC could experience greater-thanexpected upside supplying components to low-end Chinese smartphones; 3) AAC has acquired a number of new technologies, including optics, antennas, etc., which could power the company's future growth; 4) If China Mobile and Apple reach an agreement for the world's largest cell phone carrier to sell iPhones, it could boost near-term sentiment of Apple supply chain stocks, including AAC. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our June 2014 target price of HK$30 is based on a 12x average 2013E/2014E P/E. Our target P/E multiple is below AACs historical average P/E of 13.5x to account for lower growth and greater cyclical risks. Risks: Rising market share in the low-end come and non-acoustics taking off in the meaningful way.

Aboitiz Power
Underweight
www.aboitizpower.com/
AP.PS,AP PM Price: Php33.95 Price Target: Php27.00
Company overview Aboitiz Power Corporation is one of the largest power companies in the Philippines, with a nationwide portfolio of generation assets and distribution utilities. Its attributable power capacity now totals nearly 2,400 MW (including 700 MW relating to Pagbilao IPPA), while it controls the country's second- and third-largest distribution utilities. Investment case In spite of its solid performance YTD, we reiterate our Underweight rating on Aboitiz Power on the back of: (1) lower ancillary earnings (potential earnings impact of Php1.5-2 billion); (2) tax holiday expiry (lowering earnings by Php2-2.5 billion (on an annualized basis) by FY15E/16E); and (3) lower earnings from Tiwi-Makban. Resilience of the growth outlook Given the headwinds of the expiry of the tax holiday on various assets, lower ancillary revenues and lower earnings from Tiwi-Makban (upon the expiry of GRSC), we see earnings remaining flattish to trending slightly downward over the next couple of years.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Key upside risks to FY14E earnings are much stronger volume growth and a surge in spot prices, providing a boost to earnings. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of PhP27 is based on our SOTP valuation of Aboitiz Powers various power assets. These power assets are each valued on a DCF basis by discounting their future attributable net earnings. At our PT of PhP27, Aboitiz Power would trade at a 10.6x P/E and a P/BV of 2.0x for 2014E. Key upside risks include much stronger volume growth and a surge in spot prices, providing a boost to earnings.

Company overview Adani Power is a part of the diversified Adani Group, with interests ranging from infrastructure development to FMCG. Adani Power has 4.6GW of power capacity in Mundra, Gujarat which is fully operational and 3.3GW in Tiroda, Maharashtra of which phase 2 of 1.32GW is under construction. Another under construction project is the 2x660MW Kawai in Rajasthan, of which one unit has been commissioned. Investment case Adani has been making losses for the past 8 quarters, eroding net worth as they still await a tariff hike for 2.4GW of their operational and loss making 4.6GW capacity at Mundra. The ramp up of coal production from their group captive Indonesian mine has been slow and domestic linkage coal supply has been inadequate as a result of which they are dependent on expensive spot imports. With poor fuel security, a depreciated INR, project cost overruns and a fixed tariff structure, we think the Adani Power earnings model is unsustainable unless it gets relief on multiple counts. Resilience of the growth outlook With capacity increasing from 7.26GW currently to 9.24GW by next year, we expect Adani to achieve growth operationally but think profitability of the same is questionable given fuel and tariff issues. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Our loss estimate for FY14 is Rs25.7B (consensus still at Rs13B loss, though 1H loss already Rs14.5B); we estimate FY15 PAT of Rs3.7B assuming a better fuel mix vs. FY14. As of Sep-13 D/E was 8.9x. Adani Enterprises loan support to Adani Power is Rs63bn, with interest accruing and adding to this amount every month. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our SOTP Sep-14 PT of Rs31 includes DCF based valuations for each plant plus Rs15/share for an expected 40paise Mundra tariff hike and Rs4/share for expected grant of regulated return on equity invested in the Mundra-IV transmission line. Higher compensatory tariff for 2.4GW, increased Bunyu coal production, lower spot coal price, higher PLF, INR appreciation and higher merchant rates are key upside risks.

Company overview ALQ is a global laboratory-based testing, inspection and certification group. ALQ has four divisions: ALS Minerals, ALS Life Sciences, ALS Energy and ALS Industrial. ALQs key end market exposures include mineral exploration, oil & gas well services, food/pharmaceutical/environmental testing and industrial assurance services. Investment case End market conditions for ALQs largest division, ALS Minerals, remain under pressure as mining companies curtail discretionary capex, weighing on demand for services linked to the global mineral exploration sector. While ALQs Life Sciences and Energy operations have organic growth opportunities supported by M&A, both businesses are lower margin than ALS Minerals and face other issues. Resilience of the growth outlook ALS Life Sciences benefits from its linkage to regulatory-related growth in demand (e.g. rising demand for higher quality/safer foods/pharmaceuticals). The acquisition of Reservoir Group also expands ALQ's exposure to the oil & gas sector. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Continued capex cutbacks by mining customers is weighing on demand for mineral exploration-related services with little suggesting that this will improve potential further downside for ALS Minerals. Weakness in global oil & gas drilling activity and modest near term declines in oil prices may weigh on demand for associated well head services. Competitor moves into ALQs Asia Pacific markets and ALQs move into lower margin North Atlantic markets likely to weigh on ALS Life Sciences margins. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun14 PT of $8.07/share is based on the average of our FY14E PE Rel (FY14E Jun yr ASX200 Industrials ex Financials Index PE of 16.2x), FY14E sum-of-theparts (based on EBIT multiples of various comparable companies) and DCF valuations (WACC 10.2%, TGR 2.5%, risk free rate 5.0%), rolled forward at the cost of equity less the grossed up 12mth fwd dividends. Upside risks to our PT include stronger-than-expected conditions in the global non-ferrous exploration market, better-than-expected demand conditions in global environmental, industrial and/or resource production activity, accretive acquisitions, better-than-expected pricing and weakness in the A$.

Company overview Chalco is Chinas largest integrated aluminium producer with 12.9Mt capacity in alumina refining and 4Mt in aluminium smelting. The company recently divested its 1.7Mt in aluminium fabricated products operation. Chalcos core operations are spread across China. Its primary shareholder is its state-owned parent company Chinalco. Investment case We view Chalco as an event-driven stock with asset divestments being the key rerating catalyst. In a structurally oversupplied market, Chalcos high cost aluminium operations have resulted in the company reporting eight consecutive quarters of core losses. While the divestment of the Simandou project will help it return to reported profits in FY13, Chalcos key problem remains its core aluminium business that continues to struggle for profitability at current price levels to cover its financing costs. Resilience of the growth outlook Domestically, we estimate China has excess capacity of 4-5mt (or 20-25%) above existing demand. In the absence of far stronger demand conditions, we forecast aluminium to remain oversupplied. Supported by local governments via power subsidies, high cost capacity have been allowed to continue, exacerbating the metals oversupply and keeping aluminum prices at around marginal costs. We forecast Chalco to remain in core losses of Rmb3.0bn in 2014 despite marginally higher aluminium prices (+5% in 2013), given flattish volume growth and high financing costs. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 At its recent 3Q13 results briefing, Chalco indicated that it had no further plans for asset divestments. As such, aluminium prices and Chalco's ability to contain costs (eg. improving raw material self sufficiency) remain the key earnings drivers. Potential equity issuance remains a key downside risk. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT is HKD2.80, based on 0.7x PB (from our residual income model (P/BV = ROE-g/COE-g) using a sustainable ROE of 8.2%. Key risks are potential M&A or divestments and fluctuations in aluminium prices.

Company overview Aquila is an ASX-listed company with a number of assets in development. The companys two flagship projects are the West Pilbara Iron Ore Project, and the Eagle Downs Hard Coking Coal Project. The company also has a number of smaller scale projects including Washpool, Avontuur, and Thabazimbi. Investment case Aquila had A$591 million in cash at June 2013 and expects a further cash inflow of A$94 million from an insurance claim. Previously, management had indicated that this cash would be used in part for the A$6 billion West Pilbara Project, with a part sale of Aquila Coal (the entity that owns Aquilas 50% stake in Eagle Downs) to provide funding for the companys other flagship project. Resilience of the growth outlook Both the companys projects are highly dependent on financing. Development of the West Pilbara Project has been slowed down as Aquilas JV partner, AMCI, has disputed the cap-ex budget for FY2014. The companys existing cash reserves appear to be directed towards Eagle Downs, with no buyer as yet emerging for Aquila Coal.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Near-term earnings forecasts are not relevant for Aquila given no assets in production and the companys value comes from growth projects. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Underweight rating is driven predominately by valuation with the stock trading above our June 2014 price target. Our June 2014 price target is derived from our DCF-valuation (using a 10% discount rate) with a 25% discount for the companys development projects, consistent with the methodology we use for Aquilas peers. The completion of a part sale of Aquila Coal (which owns the companys 50% stake in Eagle Downs) or other assets could represent positive catalysts and upside risk to our price target.

Company overview BEA was incorporated in 1918 and is the largest local family-owned bank in Hong Kong by market cap. One of the first movers in the China market and currently operates one of the largest branch networks in the mainland. Its niche in China and a strong local franchise in Hong Kong have attracted various strategic investors including CaixaBank, Guoco, BOCHK and Sumitomo. Investment case We remain Neutral on BEA as China asset quality concerns are likely to persist, and NIM expansion is unlikely to continue as funding costs push up and leverage plateaus, particularly in the HK business, which has been a tailwind for the Group. BEA reported 1H13 profit of HK$3.2B, 16% ahead of consensus and up 29% H/H adjusted for one-offs and gains. Resilience of the growth outlook In a half with strong revenue growth, management did a solid job on cost control, with expenses flat H/H and +8% Y/Y. This in turn led to significant operating leverage, with cost/income down to 54% in the half. Capital was also a strong point, at 11.2% in 1H13, with a slight benefit from the move to Basel 3.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Weak deposit growth is likely to be a capacity constraint going forward, while asset growth is likely to result in higher credit costs. Group NPLs rose +27% H/H (HK +12%, China +56%). Overall credit costs are still just +10bp, but this is buffered by both ongoing writebacks (3-5bp) as well as a run-down in NPL coverage. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our PT (Dec-14, DDM-derived) of HK$34 implies a P/BV of 1.2x and P/E of 13.3x (FY14E). Key upside risks to our PT are: (1) credit quality better than expectations, as China liquidity improves along with policy easing; (2) potential change in shareholding structure, and (3) China revenue contribution stronger than expected. Key downside risks are: (1) lending yield compression if mortgage pricing continues to fall; (2) strong competition could compress NIM in 2014; and (3) equity raising so as to strengthen the capital position, which is at the low end of the peer range.

Company overview Beach Energy is an E&P company focused primarily in the Cooper Basin in central Australia. It has smaller, mainly exploration interests elsewhere in Australia, eastern Europe, Tanzania and Egypt. Its reserves total 93mmboe of which 24% are oil. Investment case BPT gas production should benefit from SACBJV infill drilling in FY14+ and operated oil production should increase. However we have little faith that the expensive Cooper unconventional program will prove economic; and BPT has made forays into other areas that we think are less prospective. We think cashflows from the low risk, attractive, producing Cooper conventional assets are at risk of reinvestment in more speculative exploration. We think BPT is overpriced relative to peers and NPV. Resilience of the growth outlook With many dozens of wells being drilled across BPTs Cooper interests, we think the case for increase production in the year or few ahead is strong. It would take a collapse in exploration success rates of 30%-50% (oil) to greatly impact the growth trajectory.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Oil production continued to grow strongly in 1Q FY14 (as it has for all Cooper Western Flank players in CY13). BPT has already guided towards the top end of its 8.7-9.3mmboe FY14 guidance range (JPMe 9.3mmboe). Short term earnings risk lies in the ability to continue to find and develop incremental oil discoveries in the Cooper. Price target, and risks to our investment view We carry an Underweight rating and our Jun-14 price target is A$1.29/share based upon our sum-of-the-parts DCF and a 10% WACC. Our DCF valuation includes value for the Cooper gas contract with Origin and the potential expansion of the Cooper Western Flank oil exploration program into FY15+. We do not incorporate explicit value for the option value of the early stage shale gas exploration in the Cooper Basin, nor Abu Sennan etc in Egypt. The main upside risks to our price target are: favourable oil prices, exploration and development success particularly in the Cooper Basin conventional oil & gas, and economic viability of its Cooper unconventional/shale gas.

Company overview Belle is engaged in manufacturing, distribution and retail of footwear products in China. Company-owned brands include Belle, Staccato, Teenmix and Tata, and Belle also distributes sportswear brands such as Nike and Adidas. As of Jun-13 Belle had 12,532 footwear and 5,784 sportswear POS in China. Investment case Belle is seeing several structural pressures. i) as consumers awareness in pricing improves (thanks to ecommerce), pricing is unlikely to be a component of SSSG anymore and thus margins will be under pressure; ii) expansion will be slower as there is already high penetration but more importantly department stores are losing share as the main distribution channel limits Belle's expansion opportunities and leads to lower traffic at existing POS; iii) it will be a challenge to turn around the ecommerce platform which is positioned almost like an online department store. Resilience of the growth outlook Belles 3Q SSSG was on the weak side with 1.3% SSSG for the footwear division. In our channel checks we do not see any notable pick-up in retailers SSSG in 4Q and the structural issues discussed above are likely to weigh on 2014 earnings. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 After 1H13 results announcement we cut our earnings estimate by 6% for FY13 and expect footwear margins to come under some pressure. For now we expect Belle to report c13% earnings growth in 2014. However if ASPs remain challenging, we are likely to see severe margin contraction, and this could be a longer-term downside risk to earnings including 2014. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun-14 PT of HK$9.6 is based on 1x PEG and a 2-year EPS CAGR of 13.5%. We believe key downside risk is Belle's inability to raise ASPs, which will impact SSSG negatively and with cost pressures we are likely to see margins under pressure as well. Furthermore, one more year of disappointing numbers could lead the stock to further de-rate from here. Key upside risk would be fast expansion in new mass market area that could give a new avenue of growth (not tied up with department stores) and change in e-commerce strategy that would tie in offline and online business integration more strongly.

Company overview BIGC is the second-largest hypermarket operator in Thailand with 131 big-box stores and 126 Mini Big C as of 2012. In most of its hypermarkets, it has rental space for third-party operators in line with its dual retail-property business model. BIGC is 63.2% owned by French retailer Casino Guichard Perrachon. Starting in 2013, BIGC will aggressively roll out hypermarkets, markets (2000m) and Mini BigC (160m). The stock was listed on the SET in 1993. In Jan-11 BIGC concluded the purchase of 42 stores of Carrefour in Thailand for Bt35.5B. Investment case We are bearish on hypermarkets given the saturation of this retail sub-segment, and therefore cautious on the growth outlook of BIGC. BIGC has tried to expand into faster-growth smaller-format stores, but we dont believe economies of scale will be achieved until 2H14. As consumption is slowing down and its rival Tesco aims to gain back market share, the competition could intensify and lead to lower profitability. Resilience of the growth outlook The growth outlook in the hypermarket business is inferior to that in other segments, in our view, given changes in consumer behavior and regulations. On the flip side, the rental business (40% of EBITDA) appears to provide resilient growth support. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 A slowdown in consumption could hurt hypermarkets SSSG, given that consumers are price sensitive. Rising interest rate has a chance to increase its interest expenses on its floating rate loan. Competition could erode margin, through price competition. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun-14 PT of Bt213 is based on the average of DCF (4% Rf, 6.5% RP, 2% LTG) and 1.2x PEG. We use moving WACC to reflect changes in capital structure over the period, with perpetual WACC at 8.7%. Upside risks are a strong rebound in margins, faster roll-out of Mini Big C, and announcement of a REIT plan. Downside risks are competition with rival Tesco, rising interest rates, and execution of its expansion plan.

Company overview Chailease is a leasing company established in 1977 and listed in the Taiwan market in 2011. It provides asset-backed financing services to corporations in Taiwan, China, Thailand, the U.S., and some Southeast Asian countries. Chailease has been focusing on the China market and now covers 21 cities/provinces in China. Management is guiding to expand to 50 cities/provinces by 2018. In Thailand, Chailease has a JV with Bangkok Bank. Investment case Despite the slowdown of GDP growth in China, automation upgrade remains the irreversible long-term trend for manufacturers in China. We believe Chailease can penetrate new manufacturing customers through branch expansion into new provinces/cities and at the same time deepen existing client relationships. Other than China, Chailease is also expanding fast in Thailand, and its Taiwan business is also growing steadily. Resilience of the growth outlook Resilient earnings growth is supported by the strong sales growth and solid asset quality. The group portfolio is expected to grow 22% YoY in FY14, driven by the major business in Taiwan (20% YoY), China (25% YoY) and Thailand (23% YoY). Although the delinquent balance is unlikely to decline given the aggressive asset growth target, we expect the delinquent ratio to ease, especially in China, easing market concerns. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 New VAT rules have slowed portfolio growth in China. Should the revision of VAT rules continue to be postponed, we believe the market will react more negatively to any downside surprise to operating results in the China business. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT is NT$77.5, equivalent to 2.4x 2014E BV and 12x 2014E EPS. The key downside risk other than the VAT rules revision is downside surprise in asset quality.

Company overview Cheng Shin Rubber is the largest tire producer in Taiwan, No. 4 in China (source: China Tire Association), and No. 9 in the world (source: Tire Business). Cheng Shin produces tires for bicycles, motorcycles, passenger cars, trucks, agriculture and industrial equipment under four brands: MAXXIS, Cheng Shin, Sakura and Presa. In 1H13, replacement tires accounted for 78% of revenue, with the remainder from OEM business; around 65% of revenue is exposed to greater China. Investment case We believe that demand for tires in China should remain in positive growth territory, but is likely to stay at a high single digit to low-teens growth rate (vs a 10-year CAGR of 20% over 2000-10). However, sector overcapacity would remain a concern on ASP pressure and therefore hamper earnings upside. Resilience of the growth outlook We expect Cheng Shin to deliver FY14E net profits of NT$19B, up 5% Y/Y, driven by increasing volume shipments from new production lines in China along with rising utilization. While we do not expect rubber costs to rise significantly in 2014, gross margin should remain at c.25% in FY14, in our view.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Cheng Shin completed four new plants, equivalent to c.17% of additional capacity, in 2012. However, new capacity does not translate into top-line growth as major foreign brands such as Bridgestone, Goodyear and Hankook are expanding capacity from 2013-15. Cheng Shin positions its product in the mid- to high-end segments, which compete head-to-head with foreign brands; hence, price competition which happened since 2H13 would likely persist in 2014. Rubber costs remain an unknown factor in margins. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of NT$92 is based on 12.5x FY14E EPS of NT$5.9, the mid-cycle valuation PER. Downside risks to our PT and forecasts are: 1) surging rubber prices in the short term, and 2) slower-than-expected ramp-up of new capacity. Upside risks are: 1) a significant recovery in tire demand in China/US, and 2) easing price competition.

Company overview China Coal Energy (CCE) is one of the largest coal producers in China, with 114Mt of commercial coal output in 2012. The company is primarily engaged in the production and trading of coal/coke products and the manufacturing of coal mining equipment. Its primary shareholder is its state-owned parent company China National Coal Group (57%). The company has listings in Hong Kong, and Shanghai. Investment case While we forecast organic volume growth of 7% in FY14, CCE is strongly levered to the outlook for thermal coal prices, where we hold a subdued view. Along with higher interest costs, we forecast FY14 profits to fall by 20%, suggesting likely consensus downgrades. Heavy capex into coal to chemical projects in recent years have drained CCEs balance sheet, pushing net gearing levels higher and reducing returns. Resilience of the growth outlook With a relatively higher cost structure (than Shenhua), CCEs high leverage to coal prices was clearly exposed in 2013. For FY13, on the back of a 17% fall in coal prices, we forecast net profits to sharply fall by 51% yoy. Looking ahead into FY14, with coal prices forecast to average lower and given higher debt expenses, we expect earnings to fall 20% further. Our estimates are currently 36% below consensus estimates. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Key upside risks to earnings lies in tighter than expected coal markets a 5% change in coal prices impacts EBITDA by 13.5%, or a hike in contract prices (we currently forecast rollover in price or flat yoy). A heavy capex program in recent years has seen CCE continue to generate negative free cash, leading to an expansion of its balance sheet.

Company overview China Rongsheng Heavy Industries Group Holdings Limited is a leading Chinese heavy industries group with a focus on vessels and offshore engineering, serving customers in the energy and resource sectors. It has a diversified product base that can be broadly classified into four key business segments: (1) shipbuilding; (2) offshore engineering; (3) marine engine building; and (4) engineering machinery. Investment case We believe Rongsheng Heavy is still facing a tough road ahead, affected by a lack of new orders and a potential loss from operational risks. Given the massive staff restructuring, we think delays in ship delivery and claims/cancellation risks from ship owners will affect the company's financials. Resilience of the growth outlook Because Rongsheng's operational risk is a fundamental problem, we think it will take some time for the company to recover from current risks. Despite the government's financial support for the company, we expect further restructuring and provisions in upcoming years.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 We expect earnings to remain weak in 2014, given the operational risks leading to ship delays and cancellations. We think the company may reflect further provisions, which will pressure earnings. Price target, and risks to our investment view We remain Underweight with a Dec-14 price target of HK$0.70. Our price target is based on 2014E BVPS of HK$1.41 and a 0.5x multiple, as we see the risk of continued losses. Our target multiple of 0.5x, the companys historical bottom, reflects the falling margin trend and high execution and delivery delay risks. Key upside risks to our price target include: (1) a newbuilding ship price recovery (which would be positive for shipbuilding margins); (2) successful operational execution and lower delivery delays; and (3) further financial support from the government.

Company overview Shineway is the largest Chinese medicine manufacturer of injection-based and soft capsule medicines in China in terms of volume. Shineway focuses on prescription medicines in three major formsinjection, soft capsule, and granule. All of the products are sold under the Shineway brand and developed mainly in-house. Investment case As the largest producer of TCM injections, Shineway has benefited from the government support of this unique class of drugs in China. The company operates the best regarded manufacturing facilities for TCM injections and it is aggressively diversifying into OTC markets to stay away from government price cutting pressure. However, the companys soft capsule drugs have attained their desired market shares and sales channel restructuring has taken much longer than expected. Resilience of the growth outlook Demand for healthcare products is resilient to economic slowdown. Sales growth for Shineways TCM injections may come in line with industry growth as they fulfill basic medical needs as mostly EDL drugs.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 We see substantial risks to consensus earnings estimates as all have baked in a pretty decent recovery of the companys businesses, especially TCM injection sales. On the upside, OTC product sales may turn around and show much better than expected sales growth, especially for granule products targeting children. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our DCF-based Dec-14 PT of HK$15 (risk free rate 4.2%, market risk premium 6%, beta 1.2x, terminal growth 4%) implies 2014E P/E of 9.6x. Shineway may appear cheap, but we think it is at risk of being a valuation trap unless the company can reboot growth substantially. Key risks are continued high selling expenses and ineffective channel restructuring on the downside and much better-than-expected sales recovery of granules and soft capsules from channel restructuring on the upside.

Company overview China Vanke is the largest home builder in China in terms of sales value. The company is a non-state-owned enterprise and there is no controlling shareholder so the company is managed by professional management. China Vanke initially focused on the Shenzhen property market but later expanded into other densely populated cities. Currently Vanke has about 300 projects in 57 cities. Investment case We think Vanke is a solid company but in order to sustain growth the company has spent a lot of resources to improve the corporate structure and the way they build and develop. While some of this is bearing fruit now, its margins are still below the market average and ROE is difficult to grow. This has capped the multiple at which it could trade. Resilience of the growth outlook The conversion of listing platform from B- to H-shares could bring about more financial flexibility and reduce borrowing costs, and thus further enhance net margins and ROE.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Slower-than-expected delivery is still the biggest uncertainty on Vankes earnings outlook. Net gearing hiked to 55% as of Jun-2013 from 30% as of end-2012 due to high capex on land and construction, and the trend is not likely to reverse any time soon. B-to-H conversion has no timeline and is still under government approval. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun-14 PT of HK$15.5 is based on 8.5x FY13/14E average P/E, compared to 8.5-13.0x we apply to COLI and CR Land and 5.5x-8.5x for mid-cap developers. We take into account Vanke's B-share listing status, which limited its access to capital and investor base. We may use a higher multiple when there is more visibility on the B-to-H conversion. Vanke is the largest homebuilder in China by sales value and we think a valuation premium is warranted between Vanke and most mid-cap developers. Key downside risks are tightening policies that could impact end-user demand and slippage of completion schedule; key upside risks are unexpected CSRC approval on capital raising and faster-than-expected B-to-H conversion.

Company overview CJ Cheiljedang (CJCJ) is Koreas largest food & bio company, founded in 1953. The companys business is largely divided into: 1) food (foodstuff and processed food); 2) bio (pharmaceuticals and amino acids for animal feed, neucleotides and MSG); and 3) animal feed and logistics (CJCJ owns 20% of CJ Korea Express). Investment case CJCJ faces challenges in the feed-additive business, in which it has invested over W1 trillion over the past several years in order to ramp up capacity. Despite the exit of small loss-making lysine makers and major competitors reduced production volumes in China, we expect any rebound to be moderate, given over-supply in China and additional supply from the new Iowa plant. Against this backdrop, we expect the companys bio divisions margins to stay under pressure. We foresee further downward pressure on the share price, with downward revision of consensus earnings estimates. Resilience of the growth outlook CJCJs net sales for its core business (excluding CJ Korea Express) were weak in 3Q13, down 0.2%y/y. Its food division is likely to record low-to-mid-single sales growth. Bio division sales growth and margin are likely to be the key factor for the share price. We believe sales growth in 2014 will be better than that of 2013 but short of the current consensus estimates. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 After the 3Q13 results announcement, we cut our earnings estimate by 13% for FY14; bio division margins are likely to stay low without any meaningful rebound in lysine prices. For now we expect CJCJ to report c15% earnings growth in 2014. However if lysine prices are lower than our estimate of a moderate rebound due to oversupply issues in China, we could see further downside risks to our margin assumptions for the bio division. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 price target of W200,000 is based on Dec-14E EBITDA for core operations (ex. CJ Korea Express) and a target multiple of 8.0x, the mean EV/EBITDA multiple of global lysine manufacturers and Korean packaged food makers. For non-core assets, we estimate the total value at W1,249 billion. Upside risks include 1) a larger-than-expected lysine price rebound, 2) higher-than-expected food division sales growth and margin expansion after the SKU restructuring in 2013, and 3) steep decline in soft commodity prices.

Company overview CLP Holdings is one of the two integrated power suppliers in HK via its 100% owned transmission and distribution utility CLP Power, and 40% owned generation entity CAPCO. Outside of HK, CLP is one of the largest regional power utilities in Asia with power assets in Australia, India, China, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. Investment case CLP is a dividend yield stock, which is quite sensitive to the movement of US Treasury yields, with a 0.76 correlation based on its historic share price. Given the likely tapering of the US asset purchasing program in 2014, we expect the share price to be negatively impacted. In addition, the pending disposal of Power Assetss HK power business in an HK IPO may trigger some investors to favor the newly-listed pure HK play over CLP, which has ~30% exposure to overseas earnings. Resilience of the growth outlook Growth outlook is expected to be weak due to volatility in CLP's overseas earnings and limited growth in its HK business. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 We believe there are potential downside earnings risks from Australia, its largest segment outside of HK, due to problems with the billing system, which have caused an increase in opex. Weak power demand has also resulted in lower power pool prices. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun-14 PT is determined based on SOP valuation methodology, using DCF to value each segment. Our PT implies 17.7x FY14E P/E and 3.9% yield. Downside risks: Higher coal costs in China may result in lower earnings at CLP's coal-fired power plants in China as these do not have fuel cost pass through. A stronger USD would result in lower earnings from CLP's overseas businesses when foreign currencies are exchanged to HKD. CLP's Scheme of Control permitted return is based on a 9.99% return on average net fixed assets before interest. Therefore, a higher borrowing cost would result in lower net earnings. Upside risks: Better-than-expected margin improvement in CLP's business would result in higher net earnings. Approval of additional Scheme of Control capex would result in higher earnings as SOC earnings are on a 9.99% return on average net fixed assets.

Company overview Coal India (COAL) is the largest coal-producing company in the world (based on raw coal production). Coal India has the largest reserves of coal in the world at 67bn tonnes, with proven reserves of 52bn tonnes (47% of Indias proven reserves) and extractable reserves of 22bn tonnes. Investment case COAL has a distinctive business model with peculiar characteristics of: a) quasi monopoly, but limited pricing power on a majority of volume sales; b) among the lowest-cost producers in the world but high absolute fixed cost; c) limited capital spending and high operating cash flows resulting in high FCF generation; d) high RoE given no outflow for acquiring mines; e) global coal prices not a full passthrough but do have significant impact on earnings. Near-term potential stake sale from govt could create stock overhang, though higher-than-expected payout could support stock. Resilience of the growth outlook COAL would need to increase its supply materially, once its signs all the new FSA, to meet demand. We believe COAL would find it difficult to raise production given onground issues in Eastern India. Further, weakness in global coal prices has not allowed COAL to increase its market linked coal prices. Although INR depreciation has reduced pressure from imported coal prices, it has not been sufficient for COAL to raise prices. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 The biggest upside risk to our earnings outlook for 2014 is better-than-expected production and sales volumes. Our earnings estimates are based on lower production in Eastern India mines and a modest improvement in rake availability for coal transportation. Significant increase in rake availability could help COAL raise its sales volumes and consequently, lower-than-expected rake availability would result in lower dispatches. Lower-than-expected pricing resulting from poorer mix (lower sales through e-auction) would constitute another key downside risk. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun-14 price target of Rs310 for COAL is based on 5.5x FY15E EV/EBITDA. Key upside risks include: 1) large price increases on power coal sales; 2) higher payout. Key downside risks include 1) no price increase on power coal sales; 2) a sharp reduction in e-auction coal sales; and 3) usage of cash in non-productive use.

Company overview Cochlear is a global manufacturer and supplier of cochlear implants for the treatment of profound to severe hearing loss. The company also manufactures bone anchored hearing aids (Baha) which are bone conduction implants used for the treatment of single sided nerve hearing loss, conductive hearing and mixed hearing loss. Investment case Cochlear is facing increasing competitive pressures with the likes of Med-El and Advanced Bionics taking share and threats from cheaper overseas manufacturers such as the Chinese-based Nurotron. William Demant, traditionally a hearing aid business, is now presenting as a formidable competitor with the integration of its recent acquisition, cochlear implant business Neurelec, making it the only company supplying traditional hearing aids, BAHA systems and cochlear implants. This allows it to compete directly against COHs yet to be approved "hybrid system that combines both hearing aid and cochlear implant technology. Resilience of the growth outlook Emerging Markets continue to provide significant growth potential in the cochlear implant space; the Chinese government has begun an annual tender for 4,000 cochlear implant units over 5 years. Growing popularity of bilateral implementation will also provide further industry growth.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 In our view, COH needs a significant uplift in sales during 2H14 in order to meet its FY14 guidance of flat yr/yr growth but an uplift is heavily reliant on successful adoption of its new sound processor, the Nucleus 6. We believe that the share price is not currently reflecting the risks inherent in achieving this guidance: the Nucleus 6 has only been partially approved in the US and competitors such as Med-El and Advanced Bionics are gaining traction with their own products offering similar features. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun-14 PT for COH is based on DCF methodology (terminal growth assumption of 3%, WACC 9.8%). Upside risks: market share gains, changes to the competitive landscape, faster than- forecast adoption of bilateral implantation, foreign exchange rates different from our forecast, higher-than normal contribution from new processor upgrades or new product launches or higher-than-expected margin improvement.

Company overview Colgate Palmolive (India) is the countrys leading provider of oral care products which include toothpastes, toothpowder, toothbrushes and mouthwashes. The company also provides a range of personal care products under the 'Palmolive' brand. It has about a 56% volume share of the toothpaste market in the country and is a 51% owned subsidiary of Colgate-Palmolive, USA. Investment case We have a cautious view on Colgate India. Despite steady volume growth and market share trends which are supportive of mid-teens top-line growth, earnings growth has been sluggish on account of higher marketing (competitive) spend in recent quarters. Competitive intensity has stepped up in the toothpaste category (from P&G, HUL and GSK) and we think this will keep A&P spending higher and pricing power under check, posing downside risk to near-term margins. In light of this, valuations at 33x FY14E/29x FY15E P/E look demanding and offer limited upside potential in our view. Resilience of the growth outlook We expect mid-teens sales growth for Colgate India for FY14/15 led by high single digit volume growth and mid single digit price/mix growth. In 1HFY14 the company registered 15% sales growth. However, earnings fell -12% over 1H on lower margins (due to higher A&P spend) and higher tax rate. We believe margin growth will be under pressure considering heightened competitive activity in toothpaste category post P&Gs recent entry and more aggression from other existing players like HUL and P&G. Pricing power could also be challenged in a more aggressive competitive scenario. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 This stock has seen significant earnings downgrades in recent quarters by us and the street. Post Q2 results we reduced our EPS estimates for FY14/15 by 5-6%. Any deceleration in vol/price/mix growth (as seen in other FMCG categories in recent quarters on account of weak macro/increased competition) and higher than expected competitive intensity pose key downside risks to our growth assumptions for FY14/15. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Sep14 target price of Rs1220 is based on a 26x P/E which is in line with the past five-year average P/E multiple for the company. Key upside risks to our rating and target price are better than anticipated cost savings, higher-than expected volume growth and a benign competitive environment.

Company overview Dongbu Insurance (Dongbu) is the third-largest non-life insurer in Korea, with a market share of 15.4% in terms of written premiums. The companys business portfolio consists of long-term (66%), auto (26%) and general (8%) insurance products. The company has shown strong profitability backed by strict cost control. Investment case Notably, 65% of total premiums and 60%+ of net profit come from the life business thanks to strong volume growth of high-margin bundled healthcare insurance sales over 2008-2011. However, with more than 50% penetration in private health insurance, fast increases in claims, but limited pricing adjustments, and existing policyholders gradual migration to cheap private health insurance, the mortality/morbidity profit base should narrow during 2014, in our view. Resilience of the growth outlook We believe overall 2014 top-line growth will be low-single-digit or negative, as the industry is mature. That said, Dongbus growth should be slightly better than peers due to the companys relatively strong balance sheet among second-tier insurers.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 The companys mortality/morbidity margin looks well managed at ~25%/20%, similar to SFM. However, in light of competitors risk loss ratio deterioration trend, we expect mortality/morbidity margin compression at Dongbu during 2014. A delayed auto premium hike would also pressure earnings, considering the companys aggressive auto insurance underwritings for the last 30 months (auto insurance market share: Dongbu 17%, HMF 16%, LIG 13%). Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of W41,000 is a 20% discount to the implied FY14E P/BV of 1.0x based on our sum-of-the-parts valuation targets of -0.9x FY14E P/BV for the non-life business and 1.0x FY14E P/EV for the life business. Key upside risks include: (1) better-than-expected equity market performance; (2) alleviated regulatory control in the long-term segment, with better product sales in private health insurance; and (3) a milder-than-expected worsening in the auto loss ratio.

Company overview DongFeng Motor is one of the top auto producers in China, operating a comprehensive auto-related business, comprising passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, auto engines and auto parts. Investment case Our reservations on DFM are based on its lack of capital management, which results in falling ROE. Despite its seemingly inexpensive valuation and high cash to market cap ratio (>30%), we see DFM as a value trap and believe it will continue to trade at single-digit multiples, as it has over the past three years. Resilience of the growth outlook We believe DFM is a proxy for the overall PV market in China, as DFM has diversified models across sedan, SUV and commercial vehicles. Nonetheless, we forecast growth in the PV market will decelerate with an increasing base. Thus, we believe investors should focus on specific sub-segments that will deliver superior growth, i.e., SUV and premium brands (we prefer Great Wall and Brilliance China). Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Key upside risks in 2014 include: 1) better-than-expected sales of Japanese cars in China, including DFMs Nissan and Honda vehicles, and 2) stronger-than-expected margin improvement for its passenger and commercial vehicle businesses. Price target, and risks to our investment view We are UW with a PT of HK$8.5 (June-14) based on FY14E P/E of 6.5x and DCF analysis. This multiple is the mid-range of DFMs historical trough valuation of around 5-8x forward P/E. Given our expectation that DFM will undergo a de-rating (due to competition from entry level luxury brands and weak truck demand), we believe that applying an average trough valuation is reasonable. In our DCF analysis, our key assumptions include a risk-free rate of 5%, risk premium 6%, WACC of 12% and terminal growth of 2%. Risks include: 1) better-than-expected ROE (we forecast DongFengs ROE at 20.7%/15.5%/13.4% in 2013/14/15E, from 17.6% in 2012 and 24.7% in 2011) and 2) a higher-than-expected dividend payout.

Company overview Far East Hospitality Trust (FEHT) is a REIT comprised of a portfolio of 12 properties (eight hotels and four serviced residences), all located in Singapore. FEHT is managed and sponsored by Far East Organization, with Far East owning 37% of the units. Investment case We remain cautious on the Singapore hospitality sector given supply dynamics in the next three years, coupled with slowing demand trends. This is also seen through the trust's 3Q13 earnings, where 3Q13 DPU missed forecast estimates by 8%. Given our cautious stance on the hospitality sector and our view of rising interest rate expectations, we forecast the trusts DPU to decline by a CAGR of 2% from FY13E15E. Resilience of the growth outlook The Singapore hospitality sector was challenged in 2013 by weak corporate demand, incremental room supply and continued labour cost pressures. Whilst there may be modest improvements in demand given views of an economic recovery, we believe the market will need time to digest the incremental 6,100 room supply coming onstream in the next two years. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 We note that the market has already priced in a weak outlook for the sector with Street lowering FY13/FY14E DPU by 6-9% since May-13. 3Q13 results, while missing forecast estimates, met both JPM and Street expectations. Risks to the earnings outlook could come from longer-than-expected low interest rate conditions, supporting yield stocks, or a stronger-than-expected rebound in overall demand trends. Price target, and risks to our investment view We remain Underweight on FEHT with end Jun-14 price target at S$0.80/share, based on the average of our DDM (6.8% discount rate, 1% growth rate) and RNAV estimates. Key upside risks to our rating and price target stem from better-thanexpected visitor arrivals and therefore better growth in hotel room rates.

Company overview Far EasTone (FET) is the third-largest wireless operator in Taiwan with a subscriber market share of 23% as of Dec-12, according to NCC statistics. It also has a fixedline operation focusing on the enterprise market, which contributes over 10% of the group's total revenue. Douglas Hsus Far Eastern Group is FETs largest shareholder with a 45% stake. NTT DOCOMO also holds a 4.7% stake in the company. Investment case We expect to see more intense competition with two new entrants, Ting Hsin and Hon Hoi, joining the game in 2015. We see earnings downside to incumbents, particularly to FET given its high exposure to mobile, starting from 2015E, which we believe will pose much downside to dividends. Reasons of investing in Taiwan telcos in the past (earnings stability + yield) will no longer be the case, so that we expect to see multiple compression from the high end of the regional comps group. Resilience of the growth outlook Due to its high exposure to mobile business, FET's growth outlook is particularly vulnerable to the potential increase in competition, i.e. subscriber market share loss and pricing pressure on voice/SMS.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Earlier than expected increase in competition in 2014 may present downside risk to our earnings forecasts for 2014. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our price target is based upon a 10-year DCF model. We assume a WACC of 8.3% derived from a beta of 0.9, cost of debt of 2.5%, equity risk premium assumption of 6.5% and a risk-free rate of 3.0% with 5.0% target gearing. Our Dec-14 DCF-based price target of NT$56 implies a P/E of 15.3x/13.7x and EV/EBITDA of 6.4x/6.8x for FY13E/FY14E, with an implied dividend yield of 7.8% for FY14E. Upside risks include better-than-expected market competition and stronger-than-expected ARPU growth.

Company overview FBU is a construction company primarily exposed to the New Zealand and Australian construction markets. In New Zealand, the companys operations are fully integrated, running from the production of building products (e.g. plasterboard, insulation, roof tiles) and construction materials (e.g. cement, concrete, steel), through to homebuilding and non-residential construction. It also has operations in North America, Asia and Europe, which together accounted for 12% of revenues and 14% of EBIT in FY13. Investment case Over the past year, the Canterbury Rebuild in New Zealand has gathered momentum. This has, at least in part, driven FBUs positive share price performance. While the Rebuild will have a significant positive effect on near-term earnings, we remain of the opinion that the current share price is over-capitalising the earnings associated with the programme. Resilience of the growth outlook In early 2013, FBU announced a multi-year transformation programme FBUnite which will focus on extracting benefits from consolidating common functions and driving operational excellence. Benefits from FBUnite are expected from FY15 onwards, with near-term savings likely to be offset by investment in the programme. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 At FBUs May Investor Day, management discussed at length the importance of the Canterbury CBD rebuild being phased to match the wind-down in residential work. Since then, management has noted a degree of apprehension around this point, as the de-bottlenecking of bureaucracy appears to be taking longer than expected. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Price Target is calculated on an evenly-weighted combination of our Jun-14 Sum-of-Parts (SoP) and Group DCF valuations, and adjusted for grossed up dividends where applicable (see datasheet). The upside risks to our Price Target include: a faster-than-expected ramp-up in the CBD phase of the Canterbury Rebuild; faster-than-expected cost savings from the FBUnite programme; weakening of the NZ$; a strong and sustained rebound in steel prices; and a material turnaround in Australian construction activity in the near term.

Company overview Franshion Properties was established in 2004 in Hong Kong as the flagship real estate development company of Sinochem Corp. During 2005-07, Sinochem gradually transferred parts or entire stakes in development projects and commercial properties in Shanghai, Beijing and Zhuhai into Franshion. Franshion holds Shanghai Jinmao Office Tower, Beijing Chemsunny Plaza and 9 hotels, incl. Shanghai Grand Hyatt. Franshion was listed on Aug 17, 2007 at an IPO price of HK$2.35. Sinochem holds 62% in Franshion. Investment case Franshion has improved its asset mix over the years and now has exposure in development properties, investment properties, hotels and land development. Although it has done well in most segments, the lack of focus has been a problem, and for the land development segment, we think ROA is too low and has stretched the balance sheet. Corporate restructuring is the most effective way for Franshion to narrow its NAV discount, in our view. Resilience of the growth outlook Franshion has done pretty well in its portfolio. Rental income achieved a 16% CAGR in 2.5 years; hotel EBITDA margin maintained at >30%; development properties achieving >40% GM. The company is ramping up its land bank and speeding up asset turnover to sustain earnings growth beyond FY15. Moreover, the company intends to spin off the hotel portfolio in the long run and could unlock value if this succeeds. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 We think the primary land development business is the biggest drag. The primary land development business has relatively low risk and is supported by local governments, hence initial equity investment is low and ROE could be high. However, this still requires capital investment and the amount is big, even though equity investment is low, therefore, this may still use up Franshions debt quota and reduce its ability to expand into other businesses. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT HK$2.75 is based on a 51% discount to NAV, translating into 0.8x FY13E P/BV. The NAV discount applied is wider due to Franshion's multiple assets focus, which is not favourable in the market. Key upside risks are earlier-thanexpected corporate restructuring; key downside risks are: 1) further tightening property measures in Beijing; 2) a slowdown in the hospitality market in China; and 3) potential office oversupply in Shanghai Pudong.

Company overview The group's principal activities are in developing integrated resorts and operating casinos. Its current only property, Resorts World Sentosa, is located on Sentosa island, Singapore. Genting Singapore (GENS) is 51.98% owned by Malaysia-listed Genting Bhd. Investment case While we remain positive on GENS long-term growth potential (duopoly market structure + seasoned management), we believe the risk of significant earnings downgrades and multiple contraction will cap share price performance. Trading at 26x FY14E P/E, GENS is more expensive and demonstrated slower growth than Macau peers whose industry average P/E is at 18x. We prefer Macau names compared to GENS. Resilience of the growth outlook On one hand, political pressure (Singapore government has been voicing displeasure at seeing locals visiting casinos and we are already seeing a decline in Singapore mass revenue due to shrinking local demand) and bad debt risk (accounts receivable turnover days reached 183 in 3Q13) may drag top-line growth; on the other hand, the concentration of its VIP customers have created high earnings volatility (both volume and VIP luck factor can fluctuate significantly), which may drag earnings multiple. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 More relaxed political environment regarding local visitation to casinos, significant growth in the Singapore VIP gaming market, legislative process acceleration for overseas gaming markets, as well as potential acquisitions.

Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of S$1.28 is based on a SOTP where its Singapore business is valued at 10x FY14 EV/EBITDA, a discount to the 12x-19x we use for its Macau peers now. We now expect the Singapore market to grow by 7% in 2013 and 11% in 2014. Key upside risks: 1) stronger-than-expected growth in the Singapore gaming market; 2) positive operating leverage from RWS's ramp-up; and 3) quicker-than-expected materialization of M&As or overseas venture.

Company overview Hang Lung Properties (HLP) is a property development company in Hong Kong and China. The company has a portfolio of commercial, office, residential, serviced apts and industrial properties in Hong Kong with a total GFA of 7 million sf. HLP has a Shanghai office/retail portfolio with a GFA of 438,000 sqm. The company has five projects under development in Tianjin, Dalian, Shenyang, Kunming and Wuhan. Investment case We expect upcoming office supply in Shanghai will create a potential threat to HLP as we found that office tenants are moving out to newer buildings and decentralized areas. Some existing tenants might be attracted by pricing of the new buildings. Besides, new malls in Shanghai such as SHKPs IFC and IAPM and Kerrys Jing An Kerry Centre will likely create competition for HLP's Plaza 66 and Grand Gateway 66. Resilience of the growth outlook As rental growth of the two Shanghai investment properties is slowing down, rental growth in 2014 is likely to depend on contribution from new malls. In 2014, there will be full year contribution of Center 66 in Wuxi and a few months of contribution from the Riverside 66 in Tianjin, which is opening next year. Our FY14E earnings estimate is lower than consensus as we assume low volume in HK residential sales. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Earnings risks in 2014 include lower-than-expected price and volume in residential sales, lower-than-expected rental growth and delay in opening of Tianjin mall. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of HK$25 is based on 22% discount to NAV, which is its long-term average. The stock has once traded at a premium to NAV. But as more competitors with a proven track record enter the commercial properties market, the first-mover advantage of HLP might gradually fade out. Upside risks include better-thanexpected office and retail outlook in China and better-than-expected sales of HK residential units. Downside risks include potential delay in completion, construction rises and cap rate expansion.

Company overview Hanjin Shipping provides mainly container shipping, dry bulk, tanker shipping and logistics services. 1H13 revenue breakdown: container transport and logistics: 82%, bulk shipping: 14% and others: 4%. Investment case We see limited upside near term as vessel deliveries remain substantial in 2014 which could keep pricing power low. The launch of P3 alliance could also crowd out the weaker Asian liners in the longer term. Hanjins high and rising financial leverage also raises potential equity-raising risks in our view. Resilience of the growth outlook HJS has one of the highest revenue exposures to the Asia-Europe trade among sector peers where freight rates have fallen below breakeven. Hanjin Shipping also has a less competitive cost structure compared to peers. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Global shipping demand weakens further, industry newbuild vessel orderbook remains substantial, rebound in fuel prices, potential equity-raising due to high financial leverage. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 price target of W8,000 is based on 1.5x P/BV, similar to HJSs historical average valuation since its demerger in end 2009 with a smaller equity base. We expect HJS losses to reduce significantly and approach breakeven in 2014E. Key upside risks: better than expected volumes and freight rates, lower than expected capacity growth, falling fuel prices, exit of weaker industry players. Key downside risks: global container shipping demand weakens further, freight rates decline, rising fuel prices and limited pass-through, prolonged industry oversupply, potential equity raising given high financial leverage.

Company overview Havells is a leading brand in the electrical products industry in India, with a strong presence across segments such as switchgears, cables & wires, lighting products & fixtures and consumer durables. Its brands include Havells, Crabtree, Sylvania, Concord, Luminance, Linolite and SLI Lighting. The company is one of the top 4 players across its key segments. Increasing focus on consumer segments, widespread distribution network and scale up in brand investments has helped the company gain market share across segments over the last few years. Investment case We expect earnings growth over the next 2 years for Havells to be slower than in the past (15% vs. last 3-year CAGR of 27%). This given the demand moderation in the domestic consumer business; while industrial demand remains sluggish. Further, its overseas business, Sylvanias turnaround will likely take time given weak trends in Europe. Valuations at c.19x standalone earnings are at a premium (last 4 year avg of 17x) despite the expected growth moderation ahead. Resilience of the growth outlook Havells has a fairly strong brand name and extensive distribution network. It has been able to successfully leverage its strong brand equity by foraying into the newer segment. Launch of new products (in appliances segment), penetration into tier 2/3 markets and market share gains (as seen in past) should drive the growth ahead. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Havells and the building product industry in general have benefitted from a scale-up in new home deliveries and large commercial (malls /hotels /office) completions over the past few years. New completions, however, are expected to come down across both metro and tier 2 cities over FY15/16. This does not bode well for the demand outlook in the medium term, in our view. Replacement demand, however, should remain healthy. Price target, and risks to our investment view Maintain UW with Mar-15 SOTP based PT of Rs600. We used 14x P/E multiple for domestic business, which is at a 20% discount to the average over the past four years. We believe this is justified given moderating growth expectations. This is at a 20% premium to global peers given its large exposure to the relatively high-growth India market. For Sylvania, we use a 5xEV/EBITDA multiple in line with the peer group (Osram). Key upside risks to our PT include: a) Better than expected growth rates in the domestic segment; b) Sharp pick up in industrial activity reviving the demand for cables/lighting segment; c) Better than expected profitability in Sylvania.

Company overview Hindustan Unilever is Indias leading consumer products company. It has a dominant share in soaps, laundry, skin care, shampoos and tea. It also has an extensive presence in toothpastes and packaged foods segments. It has the widest and well entrenched distribution reach in the country. It is a 67.25%-owned subsidiary of Unilever Plc. Investment case Weak macro has started to impact FMCG growth rates more so across discretionary/premium categories and urban markets. Moderation in growth rates for HULs most profitable personal care segment coupled with downtrading risks across categories could weigh on mix. Additionally, competitive intensity remains stiff, thereby making incremental gains on market share difficult to come by. Margin expansion will likely moderate in the coming quarters given uptick in RM inflation, moderating premiumisation, likely media inflation and sustained competitive activity in some categories. Current valuations of 39x FY14E and 32x FY15E P/E are high and provide no margin of safety, in our view. Resilience of the growth outlook Volume growth for HUL on an average over the past three quarters has moderated to ~5% impacted by uncertain macro weighing on growth rates across some of the personal care and foods categories. Pricing growth, which has been subdued on account of higher promotional activity in categories like soaps and laundry, is expected to pick up in 2H as company has unwound promotional offers in soaps and is taking calibrated price hikes in an attempt to offset rising cost pressures. We remain cautious about near term growth rates given the moderation in market growth rates, volatile input cost environment, step-up in competitive intensity, uncertain media inflation and higher tax rates. We estimate EPS growth of 11% and 9% in FY14 and FY15 respectively. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Downside risks to earnings include sharp moderation in top-line growth rates, higher competitive spends and weak gross margins. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Sep-14 PT of Rs570 is based on a target P/E multiple of 29x which is in-line with the stocks three-year average P/E. Key upside risks to our TP include benign input cost inflation, sharp improvement in revenue growth rates, benign competitive environment and parent further increasing stake increase at higher valuations.

Company overview HTC is a leading manufacturer of Google Android smartphones. The company began transforming from ODM to own-brand in early 2006. Its main markets are Europe, North America, and Asia. Its key customers include Vodafone, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, AT&T, Telefonica, Orange, and Google. Investment case We expect HTC to continue underperforming the market in 2014. 1) HTC has suffered operating losses in the last 2 quarters and we expect it to continue in 2014; 2) China profit sustainability to remain tough especially once Mediatek comes up with a single chip LTE solution in 2H14; 3) Revenue shortfall might force marketing budget cuts, making a recovery in the coming quarters even tougher. Resilience of the growth outlook HTC management seems adamant to engineer a comeback and has shown little intent to consider M&A options. Management is getting more actively involved in restructuring, and in particular is taking a proactive role in managing relationships with Chinese telecom carriers. We think it makes good sense as HTC appears to have identified China as the home market and reckon that there could be a short window of opportunity for HTC in 1H14 but we still believe that the profit sustainability will remain difficult with increasing competition from Chinese brands. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Key upside risk could be a successful attempt by HTC to become a preferred TDLTE partner for China Mobile. If HTC is successful at restructuring and improves China profitability, we could see significant upside to its 2014 earnings outlook. Price target, and risks to our investment view We do not think it is time to value the stock based on M&A scenarios. Our Jun-14 PT of NT$90 is based on 0.9x FY14E P/B due to continuous operating losses reported by the company. Key risks are: 1) a successful attempt to become a preferred TD-LTE partner for China Mobile, 2) strategic events like investments by carriers, or factory sales, 3) successful launch in new products like wearable devices

Company overview IOC has seven refineries with a total refining capacity of 54.2 mmt; it also has a 52% stake in 10.5mmtpa Chennai Petroleum and 74% stake in 2.4mmtpa Bongaigaon Refinery. IOC markets ~68 mmt of petroleum products with c.42-45% market share, in petrol and diesel retailing. It has the most extensive network of crude and product pipelines. IOC has a 0.8mmt PX/PTA plant at its Panipat Refinery. Investment case IOCL is a low-margin refiner leveraged to Indias energy reform outlook; - we expect underperformance to continue into 2014, with the government also considering selling down some of its c79% interest. While the shares may look good value, trading at ~0.8x FY14E P/BV, given the uncertainty about oil product price reform, we see better opportunities elsewhere within our coverage. Resilience of the growth outlook The SOE R&M companies have delivered weak refining margins over the past several quarters lagging regional benchmarks. With our expectation that GRMs would be rangebound, we do not expect a meaningful rise in IOCLs margins. Subsidies are likely to remain high, with elevated commodity prices, and we expect the pace of reform to remain slow in light of inflationary concerns, and a crowded political calendar. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 A sharp pullback in commodity prices, or a strengthening of the INR could lead to a reduction in subsidies. Significant pricing reform could also lower the subsidy bill meaningfully, leading to upside to our estimates. Higher than expected GRMs would lead to upside to our estimates. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Sep-14 PT is Rs185/share based on 5.5x EV/EBITDA (lower than regional peers to account for uncertainty over subsidies). Our earnings are based on a downstream subsidy share of ~Rs10bn. Lower crude/stronger INR, structural reforms and higher than expected GRMs would be upside risks.

Company overview Indika Energy is a diversified energy company with operations in coal mining, coal mining contracting, oil and gas EPC contracting, and power plants. Indika owns a 46% stake at Kideco; Indonesias third largest coal mining company, which contributed more than 85% of its annual profit. Indika also owns 69.8% of Petrosea an energy company operating in mining contracting, engineering & contracting, and Petrosea Offshore Supply Base. Indika also owns Tripatra, a leading oil & gas EPC company in Indonesia and Mitrabahtera Segara Sejati with operations in coal barging and transshipment. Finally, Indika also owns 20% in Cirebon Electric Power, a 660MW power plant designed to take on Kideco's coal. Investment case We believe the following factors could work against INDY until 1Q14E: (1) Contract renegotiation at PTRO and MBSS could reduce the rate earned by 5% and 10% respectively. (2) Unexpected earnings downwards adjustments at Tripatra in 4Q13. (3) Coal price to decline post winter. (4) Quarterly net income losses continue until 1Q14.

Resilience of the growth outlook We expect FY13E net loss of US$35MM; a swing from US$69MM profit recorded in FY12. Until 9M13, INDY recorded a US$7.4MM net loss. Losses could be announced in 1Q14 and coal price could decline post winter; which might work against INDY. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 The risks to earnings outlook would come from the potential rate reduction at Petrosea and MBSS. Currently the coal industry is renegotiating the mining contracting contracts with an aim to reduce the rate by 5%. In the barging and logistics contracts, the industry is targeting a 10% reduction. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 SOTP based PT of Rp860 represents 12x FY14E reported PE; relatively in-line with ADRO (12x), Banpu (12x) and PTBA (13x). Maintain Neutral. Upside risks: (1) Unexpected recovery in coal price. (2) Better than expected profit at noncoal subsidiaries. Downside risks: (1) Lower than expected profit at Kideco. (2) Tripatra records another disappointment in profit. (3) Decline in coal price.

Company overview IndoAgri follows a vertically integrated agri business involved in both upstream oil palm plantations and downstream CPO refining. It has leading market shares in the Indonesian branded cooking oil and shortening & margarine markets. The company entered into sugar plantation and production with the acquisition of LPI in 2008. Investment case We expect IFAR to be one of the few companies in the sector to report production decline for FFB and CPO for the full year FY13; any catalyst for a sharp recovery in FY14 seems absent. We forecast weak c.5% growth in nucleus FFB/CPO production for FY14E translating into Y/Y sales/EPS growth of 10%/20%, respectively. Also, net gearing has consistently increased 3.5x from c.12% in 1Q12 to c.42% in 3Q13; increased leverage in a rising IR environment may further pull profitability down. Resilience of the growth outlook Weak 9M13 production and a cautious 4Q13/FY14 outlook: the company is now guiding 5% Y/Y decline in FFB production for FY13E after reporting a 5%/12% decline in FFB/CPO production in 9M13. Management also expects the interest rates to rise further after a Q/Q increase of 150% in 3Q13 which translates into further drag on the groups profitability. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Slowdown in CPO production growth may curb the supply, and faster than expected B10 biodiesel program roll out in Indonesia may augment the CPO demand; both of these may lead to a better than expected recovery in CPO prices. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-2014 price target of S$0.60 is based on SOTP comprising IndoAgri's 72% stake in SIMP and the net cash/(debt) position at the holding company level, applying a 5% holding company discount per historical average. Our valuation of IndoAgris 72% stake in SIMP is based on our PT of Rp620/share. Our IFAR PT implies a P/E of 10.7x/16.2x for FY13E/14E, respectively. Key upside risks to our PT include: (1) Strong recovery in CPO prices and (2) Growth via synergistic M&A.

Company overview Innolux was established in Mar10 with the merger of CMO, Innolux and TPO, and carries the business of LCD panels and OEM. It is currently ranked No. 1 in terms of LCD TV panel shipments and is among the Top 2 in the global monitor OEM market. Investment case Increased channel inventory and TV ASP decline led to Innoluxs first OP decline in 3Q13 after 6 consecutive quarters of improvement. We expect further panel price weakness in 4Q13 and 1Q14, implying that Innolux will start recording losses from 4Q13. We expect the share price to trade lower along with the panel price trend. Resilience of the growth outlook The TFT-LCD panel supply/demand gap will likely widen in 2014. We expect 3%/9% capacity Y/Y growth in 2014/15 (factoring in UTR cut), compared to 5%/7% Y/Y demand growth. We expect panel price decline to last throughout 2H13 and 2014 unless panel makers cut UTR more aggressively. We see limited total LCD TV growth in the next 2 years with slower size mix migration for the UHD resolution upgrade. Innolux has NT$90bn short-term debt due within one year. With cash on hand of NT$39bn and credit line of NT$30bn, we think it remains challenging for Innolux to repay its maturing debt. (net gearing ratio could rise again from 4Q13 as it we estimate losses in 4Q13). Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 1.) Industry capacity could outgrow area demand. Panel price could see further downside risk if industry lacks discipline on controlling UTR. 2.) We believe 4K2K is a nice feature and demand will only be driven by price elasticity. Upside in TV panel shipment could be offset by steeper price decline. 3.) Innoluxs BS is highly leveraged and large debts will mature next year. To meet the debt obligation, there could be risks in raising equity, leading to equity dilution, in our view. Price target, and risks to our investment view Dec-14 PT of NT$10 is based on 0.5x P/B (down cycle valuation). We believe muted demand in TV/PC and ongoing panel price decline will be negative share price drivers. We expect Samsung and BOEs G8.5 new capacity to put severe pressure on Innoluxs leading market share position in China. Key risks: 1.) Higher-thanexpected panel prices due to strong end demand outlook. 2.) Better cost reduction due to introduction of 29, 39, 50, 58 TV panels 3.) Order gains through the help of Hon Hai group.

Investment case We expect HK residential sales will be challenging for Kerry going forward given that most projects are targeting the high-end market, such as Ede Road project in Kowloon Tong. Unless the company offers a comparable price to the secondary market, volume is expected to be slow. If China contract sales do not pick up significantly in 2014, we think that next years contract sales could be lower than this year. Resilience of the growth outlook We estimate FY14E earnings will drop 12% mainly due to a lower contribution from HK residential sales. The opening of Jing An Kerry Centre is likely to bring in more rental income but we do not think it is sufficient to compensate for slow residential sales.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 A slowdown in sales progress of residential sales might affect the construction and growth of the company. Since Kerry adopts a matching strategy in sales and construction, completion of some projects might be changed to a later date. In 1H13 results, we found that a number of projects have been moved to a later expected completion date. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun-14 price target of HK$34.5 is based on 50% discount to NAV, 0.5 standard deviations below long-term average discount. Downside risks to our price target include interest rate hike, slower-than-expected residential sales progress and construction slippage of its mixed-use projects in China. Upside risks include betterthan-expected HK residential sales, better-than-expected China projects delivery and upside surprise in potential logistics spin-off.

Company overview LoT is a leading PC component provider in the world, with its products including power supplies, LEDs, ODD (optical disc drive) and enclosures. Key customers include HP, Dell, Acer and other PC OEMs. Investment case We expect LoTs 2014 earnings growth to slow down to 4% from 19% in 2013, with 70% of its business focusing on the declining segment (PC-related and sluggish mobile plastic casing) and its LED / camera module exposure still looks immaterial to move the needle. Resilience of the growth outlook We dont expect any upside surprise from its legacy PC-related business (power supply, storage and NB keyboard etc that contribute 50-60% of LoTs sales) given tepid PC industry outlook. Its mobile business LoM (10-15% of sales) will also languish due to product transition (from assembly to casing/mechanic parts) and limited traction from non-Nokia customers.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 We believe if the PC industry bottoms out faster than expected in 2014, then LoT should get a respite and see slower downward mobility in ASP and volumes. Any meaningful customer wins for its mobile business might also bring some earnings upside, given currently 90+% of LoMs sales comes from Nokia, which doesnt seem to come with a rosy growing trajectory. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun-14 PT of NT$40.0 is based on 10x FY14E EPS, which is the mid point of 713x PE multiple in the last 5 years. We believe the multiple could also reflect its immense exposure to the declining PC industry. Key risks to our investment view are (1) another ROE accretive deal (e.g. Silitech) in addition to LoIT, (2) new customer breakthroughs (e.g. Apple), (3) better demand of LED lighting, and (4) faster SSD growth to offset ODD weakness.

Company overview Founded in 1993, Lonking is a leading wheel loader manufacturer in China, selling a total of 25,073 wheel loaders in 2012 (market share of 14.4%). Lonking also manufactures excavators, road rollers, motor graders and forklifts. The company has 19 wholly-owned subsidiaries and four production bases, respectively, located in Fujian, Shanghai, Jiangxi and Henan, covering over 3MM square meters. Investment case Despite ongoing industry recovery, Lonking has been losing market share amidst intensifying competition. A stretched balance sheet and weak cash conversion has inhibited the company's ability to pursue growth. Resilience of the growth outlook Competition among the top 5 domestic wheel loader producers has been heating up, while other foreign leading excavator brands are trying to break in by M&As. Lonking, has been losing out the battle as its market share shrank by c4ppts since 2012. We expect Lonkings weak market position, constrained by high-gearing and working capital requirements, to persist into 2014, which may continue to weigh on its earnings growth outlook.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Our 2014 earnings estimate is 10% below Street consensus. A key upside risk to our 2014 earnings forecast is the better than expected market share gains in the domestic wheel loader market. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 based PT of HK$1.40 for Lonking is based on the DCF valuation while taking into consideration the peer valuation and the companys own historical valuation. Our PT corresponds to a target P/E of 13x/10x, and P/B of 0.9x/0.8x on 2013-2014E. Key upside risks to our PT include: (1) Stronger-than-expected recovery in wheel loader sales and excavator sales; (2) Better-than-expected overseas expansions; 3) Better-than-expected receivable collections.

Company overview Lotte Chemical is one of the largest commodity petrochemicals in Korea and Asia. They have production in three different sites in Korea, in Malaysia and with affiliate companies in Pakistan and the UK. Their key focus is the Ethylene and Polyester chain. Investment case Trading at 1.1x BV (historical average), we think Lotte is too expensive for a company whose forecasted earnings will be below mid-cycle levels. Our 2014 earnings forecast is more than 30% below consensus and we only expect ROE of 6%. We note that Lotte is currently trading at 2010 valuations where earnings were more than double of forecasted 2013 earnings but with nearly 40% less capacity back then. Resilience of the growth outlook We believe the market is too optimistic in interpreting the stronger 3Q results as a turnaround in the petchem cycle. On the contrary, we believe 3Q was more of a blip helped by higher average oil price Q/Q but still part of an overall down cycle. We remain concerned on new Chinese petchem capacities in late 2013 and 2014 which will likely lead to lower Chinese imports negative for Korean exporters.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 The biggest difference between our earnings forecast and consensus is likely the latter's being more positive on the Ethylene chain in general and a more bullish view on BD spreads in 2014. We remain more bearish not only because of new Chinese capacities but potentially more exports from low feedstock cost regions such as US and ME. Lower cotton prices will also be negative for Lotte's polyester business as well. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of W140,000 is based on 0.7x 2014e BV, which we think is fair as we forecast Lottes ROE for 2014-15 to be only around 6%. As we forecast little earnings growth in 2014, we find Lotte's valuation too rich when we can buy companies like SK Innovation at 0.7x BV with significant earnings growth next year. Upside risks are Chinese capacity start-up delays, higher oil prices and large rebound in BD prices.

Company overview Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. is India's largest passenger car OEM, with a market share of ~40%. The company is a subsidiary of the Japanese parent, Suzuki, which owns a 56% stake. Investment case Domestic macro environment remains challenging this, coupled with elevated competition and rising interest rates, will keep industry demand under pressure, in our view. Also, the recent currency volatility will likely pose downside risks to margins. Resilience of the growth outlook Management has guided for negative industry growth of 2-4% in FY14, as demand trends remain weak. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 A challenging macro environment, coupled with a weakening INR, should pressure margins over 2H. Further, as additional capacities have been commissioned, utilization levels will come under pressure which could impact profitability.

MXSC.KL,MAXIS MK Price: M$7.12 Price Target: M$5.60
Company overview Maxis is a Malaysia focused telecom services provider operating in both wireless and fixed-line segments. Wireless constitutes more than 90% of total revenues. As of 2Q13, it had a subscriber share of 34% of Malaysia's wireless market, which has 125% wireless penetration rate. Investment case Our UW rating on Maxis is premised on: 1) Market share strategy is hurting ARPUs, share of net adds still low. Maxis has become more aggressive on market share over the past few quarters, but this is yet to translate into meaningful upside. Maxis per subscriber marketing spend is M$2.0/month v/s M$4.1 for Axiata and M$4.1 for Digi, and we believe that Maxis will need to invest in marketing to drive potential market share gains; (2) Near-term upside from bundling Astros content is limited. Maxis recently launched its IPTV bundled packs offering Astros content on fiber wholesaled from TM. While this is likely to alter the competitive dynamics in Malaysian fixed-line industry, we dont see it significantly contributing to Maxis earnings in the near term. Resilience of the growth outlook Growth challenges for Maxis continue as it continues to lose subscriber market share and ARPUs continues to trend down. Maxis management have indicated that its cost base is likely to remain stable, we see risk to this assertion given significantly lower marketing spends compared to peers and impending roll out of 4G services.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Maxis have sustained post paid share and losses have been on pre-paid subs. If Maxis is able to recoup some of the lost market share on pre-paid side with adequate cost control, it should positively impact its earnings. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun-14 PT of M$5.60 is based on 18.5x 2014E P/E (in-line with its historic average trading multiple). Key upside risks include better-than-expected market share gains, better cost management and potential increase in dividend payout.

Company overview New China Life, established in 1996 and headquartered in Beijing, was the thirdlargest life insurer in China in 2012, with a premium market share of ~10%. Despite recent premium contraction, the company has consistently outgrown the sector, with a CAGR of 20% (vs. the sector's 17%) for 2004-07 and 42% (vs. 29%) for 2007-10. Investment case The company has rebounded from the trough in tandem with strong earnings turnaround from narrowing impairment losses during 2013. However, as the earnings base is already reaching a normal level, we think the earnings outlook for 2014 is challenging, and scale contraction and relatively weak agency channel/ capital position will cap share price upside potential. Resilience of the growth outlook The bancassurance channel, which accounts for ~60% of its first year premium, is seeing intensifying competition among insurers (particularly, with bank-led insurers) and/or investment products, and despite the -7% y/y volume contraction for 9M13, we see further volume contraction and/or minor volume recovery from its low base in 2013. Its relatively weak solvency ratio, ~174% as of Jun-13 will remain challenge for the growth, in our view.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 We expect ~8% y/y earnings contraction in 2014 on the back of (1) rising policy surrender rate among existing policies; (2) acquisition cost (expense) increase for the agency sales increase; and (3) weak top-line growth (~5% y/y). Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of HK$24 is derived based on a multi-stage NBV growth model which assumes a new business multiple of 3x and yields an implied P/EV of 1.4x. Considering its weak position in the distribution channel, we apply a 20% discount to get to our PT. Upside risks include faster-than-expected restructuring results and a sustained rally in A-share markets. Downside risks include weak NBV growth as restructuring takes place, and any sooner-than-expected capital raising.

OCBC.SI,OCBC SP Price: S$10.47 Price Target: S$9.50
Company overview OCBC is one of the three domestic banks in Singapore. It has a meaningful presence in Malaysia and Indonesia with a small but increasing footprint in China and Vietnam. In addition to offering a complete banking product suit, OCBC also controls Great Eastern Holdings, its 87% owned insurance subsidiary. OCBC has a larger presence in consumer, SME lending and is leading from the front in WM. Investment case OCBC is costly relative to the RoE that it is generating. We expect non-par fund driven performance at GEH to cease to be an earnings driver next year as fixed income rally stalls. Moreover, the bank is in the process of evaluating inorganic growth options in the region, which raises the risk of earnings dilution, further increasing the risk of underperformance. Resilience of the growth outlook Earnings growth for the bank will be restrained by normalization of credit costs, lower non-par fund gains at GEH and flat to lower NIM. The growth expectations on WM business is at risk, as AUM growth slows down in the next couple of quarters. The recent volatility in fixed income markets will also challenge the AUM growth expectations for the next few quarters. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 We expect a relatively subdued earnings growth next year. Upside risks come from better than expected NIM, primarily on funding costs, resilient credit costs and faster balance sheet growth. Price target, and risks to our investment view We are UW on the stock with our 2 stage DDM methodology derived Jun-14 PT of S$9.5 based on the following valuation assumptions: RFR of 3.5% CoE of 8.5%, Normalised RoE of 10.3% and terminal growth of 2.5%. Key downside risks to our view include lack of any value eroding M&A, better than expected non-par fund performance and continued AUM growth.

Company overview ONGC is Indias largest E&P company with ~10bn boe of oil and gas reserves. It accounts for c.75% of Indias current oil and gas output. Its subsidiary, OVL, invests in oil and gas acreages internationally. ONGC also has a 70% stake in MRPL, a refiner. Investment case ONGC continues to face a drag in profitability due to regulatory uncertainty with elevated oil prices and slow pace of pricing reform, we expect ONGC to continue to bear a high subsidy share. While we expect reform to continue, with a crowded political calendar, we expect the pace to moderate in the near term. While we expect gas prices to rise in April 2014, we expect subsidies to rise as well. ONGC has a large reserve base, but has been slow to bring these to production necessitating the purchase of potentially return dilutive assets. Resilience of the growth outlook With subsidies rising from 0.1% to 1% of GDP over FY08-13, we expect subsidy share to remain elevated in the near term, as the government looks to contain the fiscal deficit. The recent announced acquisitions (Mozambique) at full valuations continue to demonstrate the potential for returns erosion. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Significant pricing reform could lower the subsidy bill meaningfully, leading to upside to our estimates. Higher production growth could see organic earnings growth beat our estimates. Price target, and risks to our investment view We employ a risk-based valuation methodology to derive our Sep-14 PT of Rs300. We group ONGCs assets into 2 categories: core NAV, which is the value of producing assets and those under development, and risked upside which is generated by the value of ONGC exploration and appraisal (E&A) assets on a risked basis. We value the companys non-upstream assets by assigning a multiple. The main downside risks are a collapse in oil prices, execution/integration risk, government sell-down and F/X appreciation. Upside risks are higher production and lower-thanexpected subsidies.

Company overview Oil Searchs main asset is a non-operating 29% of ExxonMobil's US$19b 6.9mtpa PNG LNG project. It is under construction and first production is expected in 2H14. The company has interests in other gas fields nearby PNGLNG and exploration acreage in Gulf of Papua, and either could be candidates for additional LNG trains in a future PNGLNG expansion. It has a modest oil business in PNG producing ~6mmbbl a year. It is appraising the 250-500+ mmbbl Taza resource in Kurdistan. Investment case Oil Search is an almost pure exposure to a high quality LNG project. PNGLNG has 20 year offtake contracts at high prices, and strong brownfield expansion potential, which OSH is likely to participate in given it has stakes in most potential sources of additional gas. The main stock issue is its over-valuation in absolute and relative terms. Resilience of the growth outlook Barring a PNGLNG startup issue affecting timing, a step change in production is due to begin in 2H14/1H15. From 2013 to 2015 the increase in net production is ~250%. Both before and after PNGLNG, OSH sales are almost exclusively linked to the oil price. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 The main risk is startup date for PNGLNG Train 1 which is due in 2H14. The exact date is not known and will step-change production. However the stock does not trade off 2014 earnings; look to 2015/16 as more representative for a multiple. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our recommendation is Underweight and our Jun-14 price target is A$7.40/share. Our price target is based upon our sum-of-the-parts DCF. Our NPV includes full value for the initial PNG LNG T1/T2, plus 75% of T3, and 50% of a Mananda-5+ oil development. We currently give nothing explicit for the speculative exploration in Gulf of Papua, nor the Taza discovery which has unclear economics. The main upside risks to our price target include: stronger oil price; successful commercialisation of OSH equity gas for PNGLNG expansion; demonstrated good economics at Taza discovery.

Company overview Pegatron is among the Top 5 NB ODM vendors in the world and is the secondlargest EMS vendor for Apple (after Hon Hai). In addition to Apple, Pegatrons main customers include PC vendors like Asus, Toshiba and game console vendors like Sony. Investment case We expect Pegatron to see a 9/7% decline in its sales and profits heading into 2014, mainly dragged by Apple EMS diversification, which might kick in from 1H14, weaker-than-expected iPhone 5C momentum and its lack of noteworthy diversification into non-Apple business. Resilience of the growth outlook Apple EMS diversification into Compal/Wistron would result in more competitive pricing and higher volatility in volumes and margin, which hurt Pegatron the most, given Apple has been its fastest-growing customers in the past three years. We see limited chance for Pegatron to tap into any meaningful customers to offset declining Apple share as Pegatron has steadily lost its non-Apple traction (Asus, Lenovo, etc.).

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 We believe Pegatrons earnings could see some upside if the company achieves any meaningful market share gains at Apple, while this looks distant as more competitors jump on the bandwagon. Better traction from PC vendors might also turn things more positive, while we feel the chances are quite small as the pie is declining. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun-14 PT of NT$35 is based on 9x FY14E EPS. Our PT multiple of 9x is toward the lower end of the historical range (8-15x), as we believe Apple EMS diversification might pose a threat to Pegatron and its margin improvement is likely to be a slow process. Key upside risks to our investment view are: (1) Pegatrons order wins for Apple's flagship iPhone (iPhone 6) or 9.7 iPad, (2) any potential price action from Apple on iPhone 5C, and (3) upside from its subsidiary Caseteks metal casing business into Samsung or other non-Apple customers.

Company overview BMRI is 60% owned by the Indonesian government. The bank was formed via a merger of several state owned banks in the aftermath of the Asian crisis. After an NPL related crisis in 2005, a new management team steered the bank back to health. BMRI's strength is its corporate lending franchise and the bank is working to develop its higher yielding business, especially in the retail segment. Investment case Mandiri has underperformed its peers by 7% YTD and we believe the trend will persist due to 3 reasons: 1) loan growth will slow down to 12% in FY14E from 20% in FY13E due to tighter liquidity condition and credit standards, 2) NIM will decline y/y due to higher funding costs, 3) we expect NPL to increase 60bps y/y to 2.7% on lower credit availability, cash-flow strains at borrowers and currency depreciation. Resilience of the growth outlook We expect earnings to decline 8% y/y in 2014 vs. Street estimates of 15% y/y growth in FY14. We differ from the Street across almost the entire Du Pont line items. As we highlight above, we expect lower growth, lower NIM and higher credit costs. The key difference appears to be our view on NIM compression. As a result, we expect 22% negative revision in FY14 consensus forecasts. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Key upside risks include better than expected growth in deposit base, in turn leading to better loan growth. A pause in regulatory steps to arrest the current account deficit is the main macro risk to our investment case for the stock and the sector. Price target, and risks to our investment view We are UW on the stock with our 2 stage DDM methodology derived Dec-14 PT of Rp7,000 based on the following valuation assumptions: RFR of 8% CoE of 15.2%, Normalized RoE of 19.9% and terminal growth of 8%. Key risks include better than expected asset quality, NIM and loan growth. Improvement in macro variables will also provide a support to share price, and hence is a risk to our UW rating.

PT Indosat Tbk

ISAT.JK,ISAT IJ Price: Rp3,625 Price Target: Rp3,820
Company overview PT Indosat Tbk is a telecommunications and information service provider of cellular services, fixed data services, or MIDI (Multimedia, Internet and Data Communications), and fixed voice services. It is the second-largest provider of wireless services in Indonesia, accounting for ~18.5% of the mobile market. PT Indosat Tbk is a subsidiary of QTel (Qatar Telecom), which currently owns 65% of total shares. Investment case Our Underweight rating on ISAT is premised on: (1) Network issues that are hurting its market share. ISAT lost subscriber share in 3Q, with the wireless subscriber base declining 4.8% QoQ, to 53.8 million. ISAT continues to face quality issues with its network, driving higher churn; (2) ISATs per-unit data pricing is the highest vs. peers, which could drive the highest pricing compression, over and above the normal data pricing compression that the Indonesia telecom market is witnessing; (3) Capex is likely to remain elevated over the next two years, implying higher depreciation and interest costs. We do not see a potential trigger for ISATs stock in the near term and do not expect to see a reversal in the Streets earnings downgrade cycle yet. Resilience of the growth outlook We estimate a 5% revenue CAGR for ISAT over 2013-15E. The Indonesian market remains highly competitive, and while the level of intensity is stabilizing, we see risk to the growth outlook if any operators were to become more competitive. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Early resolution of network issues, resulting in a clawback of lost market share, could help the company recoup its earnings momentum. Additionally, lower competitive intensity in Indonesia, driving a reversal in data pricing trends, could be another source of upside risk to our earnings estimates. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun-14 price target of Rp3,820 is based on 16x 2015E P/E (see datasheet for breakdown). Key upside risks to our thesis include lower competitive intensity, driving data pricing higher, and potential consolidation in the industry.

PT XL Axiata Tbk
Underweight

EXCL.JK,EXCL IJ Price: Rp4,625 Price Target: Rp3,770
Company overview PT XL Axiata Tbk, also known as XL, is an Indonesia-based mobile telecommunications service operator with the second-highest market share in terms of subscribers, at 18% as of 3Q13. Investment case Our Underweight rating on XL is based on our view that current data pricing levels in Indonesia are driving down incremental returns on capital. Despite this, data pricing for XL continues to get compressed, down 60% YoY in 3Q13, which will continue to pressure margins. XL also recently announced the acquisition of Axis Telecom, which we believe will dilute 2014 EPS by at least 25%. Consensus has been cutting earnings estimates for past few quarters, and we expect this trend to continue, driving stock underperformance. Resilience of the growth outlook We estimate an 8% revenue growth CAGR for XL over 2013-15E. The Indonesian market remains highly competitive, and while the level of intensity is stabilizing, we see risks to the growth outlook if any operators were to become more competitive.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Lower competitive intensity in Indonesia, driving a reversal in data pricing trends, could be a source of upside risk to our earnings estimates. An earlier-than-expected turnaround at Axis Telecom could also drive earnings higher. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 price target of Rp3,770 is based on a 13x 2015E P/E. At our price target, XL would provide a 2014E/15E dividend yield of 2.5%/2.7%. Key upside risks include the potential for further consolidation of the Indonesian market through acquisitions, which would be positive for sentiment and drive valuations higher, in our view. In addition, a quick turnaround at Axis would be positive for valuation.

Company overview Punjab National Bank is the third largest public sector bank in country with a loan book size of ~US$51bn that has grown by ~21% over FY08-13. It has one of the best liability franchises with a CASA of ~40% leading to relatively higher NIMs among PSU banks. Investment case We expect asset quality pressures to continue for the bank given the weak macro. PNBs mid-corporate book remains quite vulnerable, and its probably the most tied to the overall economic cycle among the larger PSU banks. There is a risk of margin pressure for the bank. The bank is quite aggressive in the working capital space and that is margin destructive, in the high rate environment. The cheap valuations can be misleading given the high dilution risk over the next 2-3 years with high delinquencies and falling ROEs. Resilience of the growth outlook The loan growth has remained subdued for the bank in the recent past (FY13 loan growth of 5%); if the slow growth persists for longer period of time given high competition in the retail segment and lack of demand from corporates then it can further impact growth in FY14E-15E. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 If the macro situation remains vulnerable for a longer period of time then credit costs could inch upwards, which could impact profitability & thereby return ratios. We expect credit costs of 118bp for FY14E. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Sept-14 PT for PNB of Rs450 is based on 2 stage Gordon growth model implying 0.45x Sept14 book. Our valuations factor in Cost of Equity at 16.4%, Normalised ROE of ~8% and terminal growth of 5%. The key risk to our UW rating is a sudden improvement in the asset quality cycle. This could be triggered by 1) a surprise recovery in the economy (faster growth) or 2) policy support which helps PNB deal with its agri and SME NPLs.

Company overview Samsung Engineering was established in 1970 as Korea Engineering. After being taken over by the Samsung group, the companys name changed to Samsung Engineering. The company is an EPC contractor with a core competency in plant construction, and provides engineering & construction services in the domestic and international markets. Investment case Samsung Engineering is currently facing problems on project execution and labor sourcing, particularly from its overseas business in new markets and nonhydrocarbon projects. This had resulted in massive provisions and cost-overruns. We expect further upside to the companys share price is limited, given the depressed market sentiment and remaining concerns about the companys execution abilities. Resilience of the growth outlook Long-term earnings recovery will require more time, in our view. The companys low-priced contracts mostly received during 2010-11, as well as execution risks as a result of the company's diversification into new markets/new construction projects, are likely to put pressure its earnings for the next 1-2 years.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 We believe Samsung Engineerings margin will recover from the expected net loss in 2013. However, in view of the companys ongoing cost overruns incurred by its overseas projects, we believe 2014 earnings will remain depressed, with the expected GP margin at 6.5% vs. 11.3% in FY12. Price target, and risks to our investment view We maintain UW with a Dec-14 price target of W50,000. Our price target is based on an 8.4x P/E multiple applied to 2015E EPS of W5,975, as we believe that normalized profitability will be seen from 2015E. Our price target multiple of 8.4x comes from the 2015E average of the KOSPI index. Key upside risks to our price target are: (1) better-than-expected execution of current projects in backlog, mainly received during 2010-2011; and (2) faster margin recovery of companys nonhydrocarbon projects.

Company overview Shanghai Electric is one of the top three power equipment manufacturers in China, capturing about one-third of the market share with an annual production capacity of over 30,000MW. Other than power generation equipment, the company also produces electromechanical & heavy machinery and railcars. Investment case Shanghai Electric is one of the largest equipment manufacturing conglomerates in China. Its core business segments are high-efficiency and clean energy as well as new energy equipment. Our bearish view on Shanghai Electric rests on the expected weak demand for coal-fired equipment as China (1) continues to rely less on coal due to pollution concerns (2) has slower power demand growth going forward as the nation shifts away from an FAI growth model. Resilience of the growth outlook Shanghai Electrics growth is a function of (1) coal-fired power demand growth, (2) revival of nuclear power projects and (3) overseas market opportunities. Given (1) Chinas pollution concerns and LT structural economic slowdown, (2) lack of clarity on timing of large-scale revival of nuclear power projects and (3) mixed outlook on overseas market (especially India), the companys growth outlook remain uncertain. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Risks to 2014 earnings outlook include (1) higher-than-expected losses from heavy machinery business resulting from slower-than expected economic recovery, and (2) lower-than-expected ASP for coal-fired and wind units as a result of intensified competition, which will in turn lead to downside pressure on margins. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our June-14 price target of HK$2.4 is based on 7.9x the four-year forward throughcycle EPS for 2013-15E (7.9x is based on one SD below 5-year historical average 1year forward P/E). The stock would trade at 8.4x 2014E PER and 0.7x 2014E PBR on our PT. Upside risks include better than expected coal-fired equipment delivery and earlier than expected nuclear order rollout.

Company overview Fujitsu subsidiary and major supplier of semiconductor packages and lead frames, commanding a 3540% market share in Intel MPU packages. By focusing on the high end of the market, where domestic production can be profitable, the company has the highest level of forex sensitivity in the sector (roughly 1.3 billion profit swing for each 1/$ change in the currency rate). Investment case The company derives most of its profit from MPU packages, and therefore struggles when PC market growth is stagnant. Earnings improved sharply in 1H FY2013 thanks to yen depreciation, but we expect earnings to fall back significantly in 2H on lower prices and MPU package inventory adjustments. We forecast a steep decline in profits in FY2014. Resilience of the growth outlook The company is heavily dependent on Intel MPU packages, and earnings are therefore sensitive to PC market conditions. Despite its technological strength, growth potential is low because the company was late to enter the market for AP packages for smartphones and tablets. However, the company would benefit significantly if Intel were to make a strong comeback in smartphone and tablet processors. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Key risks in FY2014 include a worse-than-expected slowdown in the PC market, and even stiffer competition in the market for Intel MPU packages. Asian rivals SEMCO and Nanya PCB lost market share in 2013 owing to quality-control problems, but they will likely recover. Additionally, we expect the market for Intel MPU packages to become more crowded when Unimicron enters the market, bringing the number of competing suppliers to five. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our price target is 720, which we base on our FY2013 BPS estimate and a P/B of 0.7x. We derive this valuation from the historical correlation between P/B and ROE during periods of earnings weakness. The time horizon of our price target is December 2014. Risk factors include further yen depreciation and the cultivation of new customers for AP packages for smartphones and tablets.

Company overview Thanachart Capital (TCAP) is a holding company with a 51% stake in Thanachart Bank (which is also 49%-owned by Novascotia). Thanachart Bank is the largest auto lender in Thailand and the eighth-largest commercial bank in Thailand in terms of asset size. The bank specializes in auto lending, but is in the process of acquiring 100% of SCIB, which would make it the fifth-largest bank, with a good business mix. Investment case We expect NIM to decline in FY14 with rising interest rates, as asset yields are fixed throughout the term. TCAPs NIM is also likely to come under pressure due to the competitive deposit market. We forecast a 7bp Y/Y decline in NIM to 2.6% and a 17% Y/Y decline in PPOP in FY14. We expect NP to drop 41% Y/Y, given the weak PPOP and the lack of asset disposal gain, as in this year. TCAPs NPL coverage of 84% is the lowest in the sector (137%), which will keep credit cost high for the bank, in our view. Resilience of the growth outlook Almost 60% of TCAPs loan book is car loans. Also, TCAP has been more active in used car financing and provincial market lending lately. The outlook for Thai auto lenders remains fragile, in our view, given tough asset conditions in the used car market and growth moderation for new cars. We see growth and quality in these two markets deteriorating substantially in FY13 without any signs of recovery in FY14. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 TCAPs NIM pressure may ease a bit if a low interest rate environment prevails in 2014, making case for earnings upgrades for the bank. More sops to the domestic auto industry may also revive loan growth to double-digits, further improving the earnings outlook for the bank. Price target, and risks to our investment view We remain Underweight with a Dec-14 price target of Bt34. Our price target is based on our DDM, using an 11.0% ROE, 13.0% COE and 7.25% growth. Key upside risks are better-than-expected NIM and better-than-expected asset quality control.

Company overview Total Access Communication Public Company Limited (DTAC) is one of the leading telecommunications services providers in Thailand. It is the second-largest GSM mobile phone provider in Thailand after AIS. As of 3Q13, DTAC had more than 27MM subscribers with subscriber market share of ~32%. Investment case Our Underweight rating on DTAC is premised on increasing competitive intensity amongst Thai Telcos. Operators have started to offer increasingly more free usage and higher commissions to distributors. We had anticipated rising marketing expenses as operators try to drive subscriber migration to new 3G networks, the aggression seems to be much higher than expectations. We believe that subscriber porting to the 3G networks is creating a window for operators to drive subscribers away from competitors True Corp appears to be leading the aggression here. DTAC management are looking to aggressively defend market share. Marketing expenses for DTAC increased 367bps YoY to 6.1pct in 3Q; we believe these could rise meaningfully going forward. Resilience of the growth outlook Thai interconnect economics (88% gross margin on off-net calls) make share gains more valuable giving high incentives for Thai operators to spend for share gains. This we believe makes the market inherently competitive.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Rational approach from Thai operators lowering the competition levels. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec-14 PT of Bt99 is based on 14x 2015E P/E (see datasheet). We recently reduced our EPS estimates for 2013-15 by 9.5%-14.8% factoring in higher marketing expenses and lower ARPU driven by competitive intensity. Key upside risks include higher-than-expected customer migration on the new network and lower competitive intensity.

Company overview TSRC is the largest synthetic rubber manufacturer in Taiwan and the 4th largest pure synthetic rubber producer in Asia. The company also has exposure to Thailand and India. Its main products are SBR, BR, TPE, and TPR. Around 60% of products are used for making tire and the rest is used for making shoes, conveyor belts, sports equipment, toys, and wires. Investment case J.P. Morgan expects a declining trend for the spread of Butadiene (BD) and Styrene Monomer (SM) major feedstocks for synthetic rubber. Low spreads in raw materials imply low ASPs and low margins in synthetic rubber. In addition, oversupply still remains a concern in BR segment (accounts for c.16-20% of total revenue), which would also continue capping ASP upside in 1H14. Resilience of the growth outlook We expect TSRC to deliver 26% Y/Y earnings growth in FY14E but it will be backend loaded in 2H14, along with rising utilization rate of new capacity in India, rather than a strong hike in ASPs. We see some earnings downside risk to our estimates, most likely in 1H14 as BD/SBR inventory in the region is high and therefore the near term price would likely remain weak, according to ICIS news. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Around 60% of total revenue is exposed to the tire sector. If tire demand picks up significantly in China (given c.56% of production is located in China for domestic market), earnings would likely recover earlier than our expectation. In addition, TSRC's new capacity in India will start mass production in 4Q13. The ramp-up speed of the new plant represents another swing factor to our FY14 estimates as well. Price target, and risks to our investment view We reiterate UW on TSRC with a Jun-14 price target of NT$47, based on 2.1x FY14E BVPS of NT$22.5, equivalent to a mid-cycle valuation and the previous trough valuation in 2011. As a cyclical stock, we believe PB is a relevant methodology. Upside risks: (1) ASP hike driven by rising input costs or sector supply disruption, (2) easing BR oversupply in China.

Company overview UEM Sunrise is the largest landowner in the Iskandar Development Region (IDR) in Johor and the master developer of Nusajaya, one of the five key flagship zones under IDR. Johor accounts for 70% of UEM Lands total land-bank of 12,516 acres and over 80% of its total project GDV of M$81B, with Klang Valley accounting for the rest. Investment case We are cautious on the outlook for property developers in 1H14 following recent budget-cooling measures. We believe Iskandar-focused stocks will be impacted most by the rise in the Real Property Gains Tax (RPGT), which was much more significant for foreigners than locals, and the overhang from further potential foreign restrictions in Johor (i.e., higher upfront levies and a ban on secondary market transactions with locals). The Iskandar, Johor projects account for an estimated 80% of group FY13E sales. Foreigners make up to 50-60% in value of its key large projects in Iskandar. Resilience of the growth outlook We remain cautious on 2014, given the higher RPGT and rising supply/competition in Iskandar. Prospects should improve longer-term, given improved connectivity (i.e., Rail Transit System between Singapore and Johor by 2018), various incentives and the government's continued efforts to attract investments. Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Our FY14 core EPS growth estimate of 35% is largely locked in due to unbilled sales of M$3.3B as of 1H13. Key to watch is new property sales, which we expect to fall 9% Y/Y in 2014, to M$2.5B (with a 30% Y/Y fall for the Iskandar projects). We believe risk to consensus is on the downside (our FY14/15 forecast is 10-13% below market). Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Jun-14E PT of M$2.30 is based on a 30% discount to RNAV of M$3.50/share (in line with the sector mean). Key downside risks include changes in government policies (e.g., delays in transportation links (High Speed Rail)) to address fiscal deficits. Upside risks include stronger property sales and positive news flow on further large FDIs or investments into Iskandar, boosting asset values.

Company overview Unilever Indonesia is a leading FMCG company in Indonesia. It operates three divisions: Personal Care, Home Care, and Food. Personal care is its largest profit generator and UNVR is the clear leader in this segment. In the Home Care segment, Unilever is second in the market after Wings. Finally, the food division, currently the smallest of the three, generates the fastest growth. Going forward, Unilever will focus on expansion in the food division. Bolt-on acquisitions should be seen as part of UNVRs strategy. If a company is acquired, UNVR could push the products into its massive distribution channel (1.5MM sales points) to generate growth. Investment case We believe UNVR should underperform on: (1) Rupiah depreciation as 80% of its COGS are linked to USD. (2) Weakening in purchasing power. (3) Intensifying competition in skin care. (4) Expensive valuations at 40x FY14E PE. Resilience of the growth outlook The weakening of purchasing power and depreciation in Rp caused 3Q13 net income to decline 4.3%Y/Y and 9% Q/Q. We believe earnings are likely to be under pressure at least until 1H14.

Abs Rel
1m 0.3% -1.1%
3m 2.7% 5.9%
Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 As purchasing power is still weak and Rp is still at depressed level, we believe that net income could grow by only 8.4% in FY14E. Besides the weak purchasing power, UNVR's competitor in skincare, LOreal, has actually benefited from Rp depreciation, which is not the case for UNVR. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our Dec- 14 PT of Rp22,000 is derived using the PE method, applying a 30x FY14E PE. The PE method is utilized as historical analysis indicates that UNVR historically has a tendency to derate to a more modest valuation when it is trading at 2 standard deviation above the mean. The DCF method assumes a risk free rate of 8.0%, equity risk premium of 8.0%, and terminal growth rate of 8.0%. Risks: (1) UNA NA announced a takeover of UNVR IJ a higher price. (2) Price increases expanded margin. (3) Unexpected strong sales growth.

Company overview VTech was established more than 30 years ago and is one of the largest manufacturers of cordless telephones and electronic learning products (ELPs) in the world. More than 80% of its products are for VTech's brands (VTech and AT&T), and the company has a fast-growing OEM business. Products are sold through major distributors, with more than 90% of sales in the U.S. and EU. Investment case A mild recovery, but still sluggish sales for cordless phones. VTech saw a recovery in cordless phone sales in the U.S. in 1HFY14 compared to a 6.2% drop in FY13 sales. Sales to Europe are still falling despite a more positive translation benefit as the euro appreciates. It appears that demand for cordless phones is very reliant on the health of the economy. Resilience of the growth outlook ELPs holding up well, but growth decelerating. ELPs have always been an area of strength for VTech, and demand for these relatively cheap childrens learning toys is relatively economically insensitive. We expect only single-digit sales growth for ELPs in FY14 compared to 10%+ in FY13.

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Still a challenge on the economic front. The European recovery has probably not been as fast for VTech as for other industries. Demand for cordless phones continues to be weak, as much of the sales is going to cash-strapped telecom operators. Price target, and risks to our investment view Our DCF-derived (g: 3%; beta: 1.2) Dec-14 price target of HK$106 implies a forward P/BV of 5.6x and a forward P/E of 15.1x (CY14E). Key upside risks to our price target include the successful launch of new products in the ELP division and a recovery in demand for cordless phones in the U.S. as the housing market recovers.

Company overview Yang Ming Marine ranks as the worlds 15th-largest container shipping company (source: Alphaliner) and controls 88 vessels with a total capacity of about 380,000 TEU. The company has a strategic alliance with K-Line, Cosco and Hanjin. It also provides bulk shipping services through 87%-owned subsidiary Kuang Ming Shipping and invested in Kao Ming Container Terminal in Kaohsiung Port. Investment case The supply-demand of the container shipping sector will likely reach balance in 2015, but sector dynamics will remain challenge to liners in 1H14, especially those with: (1) stretched balance sheets or potential funding needs for capacity expansion; and (2) high revenue exposure in FE-Europe trade, where rates are most vulnerable. Yang Ming's net debt-to-equity ratio will likely stay above the sector average of 146% in 2014; around 30% of its revenue is derived from FE-Europe trade, among the highest liners in the region. Resilience of the growth outlook We expect Yang Ming to deliver net profit of NT$2B in FY14 against a net loss in FY13E. The turnaround will most likely happen in 2H14 on the back of an 11% Y/Y hike in average freight rates and a mild increase in bunker fuel prices (+5% Y/Y).

Risks to the earnings outlook in 2014 Our base case in 2014 is that the container shipping sector will pick up along with improvement in the macro economy in developed markets, at a gradual pace. However, if Europe recovers faster than our expectation and the P3 network effectively supports freight rates in FE-Europe trade, Yang Ming's earnings would likely surprise on the upside. Price target, and risks to our investment view We remain Neutral on Yang Ming with a Jun-14 price target of NT$16, based on 1.4x FY14E BVPS of NT$11.9, equivalent to one standard deviation above its historical average valuation. Because Yang Ming is a cyclical stock, we believe P/B is a relevant methodology. Upside risks to our price target include a better-thanexpected volume pickup for FE-Europe routes and a strong recovery in freight rates that drives Yang Ming to turn around earlier than expected. Downside risks include a larger-than-expected equity dilution and rising bunker fuel costs.

The objective of this table is to compare current market implied growth with: historical earnings and nominal GDP growth, the long term risk free rate, forecast earnings and nominal GDP growth. We use a dividend discount model based on expected payout ratios for 2011 as well as a modified one, which assumes a 100% payout ratio, compensating for different attitudes towards dividend distribution within Asia. Perpetual Implied Growth Rates based on the Gordon Growth Model: g = r - d/v. Key assumptions: Equity risk premium of 4% Expected payout ratios for 2010 sustained for dividend discount model Terminal PE of 12 for all markets after 10 years Note: Risk free rates are 10-year benchmark or nearest equivalent. EPS historic growth rates based on MSCI data from 2001 to 2011.

Explanation of Credit Research Ratings: Ratings System: J.P. Morgan uses the following issuer portfolio weightings: Overweight (over the next three months, the recommended risk position is expected to outperform the relevant index, sector, or benchmark), Neutral (over the next three months, the recommended risk position is expected to perform in line with the relevant index, sector, or benchmark), and Underweight (over the next three months, the recommended risk position is expected to underperform the relevant index, sector, or benchmark). J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Sovereign Research uses Marketweight, which is equivalent to Neutral. NR is Not Rated. In this case, J.P. Morgan has removed the rating for this security because of either a lack of a sufficient fundamental basis or for legal, regulatory or policy reasons. The previous rating no longer should be relied upon. An NR designation is not a recommendation or a rating. NC is Not Covered. An NC designation is not a rating or a recommendation. Analysts can rate the issuer, the individual bonds of the issuer, or both. An issuer recommendation applies to all of the bonds at the same level of the issuers capital structure, unless we specify a different recommendation for the individual security.
557
For CDS, we use the following rating system: Long Risk (over the next three months, the credit return on the recommended position is expected to exceed the relevant index, sector or benchmark), Neutral (over the next three months, the credit return on the recommended position is expected to match the relevant index, sector or benchmark), and Short Risk (over the next three months, the credit return on the recommended position is expected to underperform the relevant index, sector or benchmark). Valuation & Methodology: In J.P. Morgan's credit research, we assign a rating to each issuer (Overweight, Underweight or Neutral) based on our credit view of the issuer and the relative value of its securities, taking into account the ratings assigned to the issuer by credit rating agencies and the market prices for the issuer's securities. Our credit view of an issuer is based upon our opinion as to whether the issuer will be able service its debt obligations when they become due and payable. We assess this by analyzing, among other things, the issuer's credit position using standard credit ratios such as cash flow to debt and fixed charge coverage (including and excluding capital investment). We also analyze the issuer's ability to generate cash flow by reviewing standard operational measures for comparable companies in the sector, such as revenue and earnings growth rates, margins, and the composition of the issuer's balance sheet relative to the operational leverage in its business.

Zero interest rates generated asset bubbles in Hong Kong and Singapore. Domestic economies, in particular the consumption space, benefited from this easy money. We forecast asset deflation amid potential interest rate hikes during the taper-time-out. Losing competiveness, along with structural economic issues like aging populations will force governments to think of a new growth model. Nothing is fixed in the world, so what may currently seem like dirt underfoot, can tomorrow turn out to be the gold-bearing sand Asia ex Japan was a range-bound market in the year of the Snake, underperforming the developed world by 17%. For the year of the Horse, we believe a cyclical lift driven by exports, particularly to Europe will support regional growth. Disappointing US macro data will also benefit emerging economics. Stay long on export cyclical and policy beneficiaries. Look for companies with resilient earnings growth outlook, undemanding valuations (low PE/PB), and high Q-scores.
