- AIA has exposure to only four Asian markets: China, South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore. Its investment in Singapore is minuscule since four SGX-quoted stocks account for 3.4% of the portfolio.
- Chinese equities dominate the portfolio with a 37.2% weight, followed by the South Korean stocks that account for 25.4% of the AUM.
- AIA is exceedingly overweight in IT (a 36.5% weight) and financials (a 21.3% weight). Most of the IT players in the fund are Taiwanese and South Korean.
- I am moderately bullish on AIA as I anticipate the global economic recovery to be supportive of its total returns.
