“One of the biggest challenges faced last year was managing the increased volatility associated with various event risks, but we managed through investing in a diversified portfolio of companies with sustainable business model which trade at a discount to their intrinsic value.” 

On the outlook for the year, En. Abdul Razak said “We expect volatility to persist in the first quarter of this year. However, we believe the current market weakness presents an opportunity to position for a stronger 2H as export recovery in Asia gathers momentum.”
