his is the first guide that Fund Selector
Asia has produced around a specific
theme: Income.

It could not be more timely. Speaking
to fund selectors, wealth management
heads and private bankers themselves, I
am overwhelmed with the impression that
an almost insatiable appetite for income is
evident in Asian investors.
Income investors in the region are
well known for their love of real assets,
physical property in particular. Yet, in
Singapore and Hong Kong, the short
term outlook for property is weak, if not
outright negative. This should encourage
investors to seek other ways to provide
the income they desire. Income fund
solutions are an efficient and capable way
of gaining exposure to different income
producing assets and provide much needed
diversification.
In our guide, sponsored by Columbia
Threadneedle Investments, we look at the
current and future income environment,
unpacking the challenges and factors
investors should be aware of. Analysis
of different income asset classes is
complemented by the outlook for rates in
key markets.
We round up the guide with several
profiles of Columbia Threadneedle funds
successfully navigating this environment
which may be suitable for your clients and
their income needs.
I hope you find this useful.
