Will Asia lead the recovery?

In the last two decades, Asia has become a powerhouse of global growth. Demographics and digitalisation have fuelled an economic boom expected to continue for decades to come. However, this complex and dynamic collection of markets also brings the challenges and opportunities of volatility.

Portfolio Manager Anthony Srom provides an update on how Asian markets are performing in light of COVID-19. Will Asia fare better given their experience managing past epidemics? And given China is expected to recover relatively quickly given strict containment measures, will this be enough to cushion the impacts to the region?
