THE Malaysian stock market has had a rocky performance so far this year. Weighed by domestic political concerns and Covid-19 woes, Bursa Malaysia has turned out to be one of the worst-performing bourses in Asia year to date, with the benchmark FBM KLCI having lost about 7% since the start of 2021. The local equity markets could see a more challenging year in 2022, with the US Federal Reserve scaling back its easy monetary policy while increasing interest rates as inflation continues to surge. While many analysts are forecasting a better equity-market performance for Malaysia in 2022, investors should expect volatility to remain high. Being agile and selective in stock picks are keys to driving returns. Three fund managers share with StarBizWeek their top three stock picks for 2022, and the rationale for their selection. https://www.thestar.com.my/business/business-news/2021/12/25/stock-picks |
