KIC Discusses Investment Strategies in Singapore: "Selective Investment Needed in AI and Emerging Markets"

The sovereign wealth fund Korea Investment Corporation (KIC) discussed investment strategies for Asian and emerging markets in Singapore.

As geopolitical and industrial uncertainties are on the rise, defensive investment destinations such as Singapore, Japan, and Brazil are expected to attract greater attention.

On April 29, KIC announced, "The Singapore branch hosted the 'Singapore International Finance Council'." The event was attended by the financial attaché from the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Singapore, as well as investment managers from both public and private financial institutions in Korea.

Jonathan Garner, Chief Equity Strategist for Asia and Emerging Markets at Morgan Stanley, who delivered the keynote presentation, emphasized the uncertainties stemming from geopolitical risks and the AI revolution. He recommended building conservative portfolios and making selective investments in core industries.

He identified Singapore, Japan, and Brazil as defensive investment destinations, while predicting that Korea and Taiwan would structurally benefit from increased AI demand.

Shin Hyunsoo, Head of KIC's Singapore branch, commented, "It was a meaningful opportunity to review asset allocation strategies and growth opportunities in an environment of heightened uncertainty due to geopolitical risks."
