  17. Fund StrategyLooking to add growth with focus on earnings delivery Change • We expect to see a continuation of relaxed macro policies globally, as short-term economic data is expected to remain weak • Asian economies, led by China, are expected to slow down cyclically, but remain solid structurally • With Asian equity valuations looking fair value, we continue to selectively add to growth/cyclicals on weakness • Stock selection focuses on earnings delivery following the strong share price rebound from distressed valuations
