Comprising 10 countries¹ , the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) represents a combined GDP of over $2.9 trillion and a population approaching 650 million².


In the wake of China and India’s dominance, however, smaller ASEAN countries have slipped under the investment radar and valuations in select companies look increasingly attractive. 


Investment flows are beginning to return to the region and asset managers who have maintained local knowledge, relationships and research capabilities should be in a strong position to identify the most compelling long-term opportunities.


While this cohort has many differences − politics, culture, demographics, economic drivers, and levels of development − we observe common factors underpinning positive long-term growth across the region, including favourable population dynamics, increasingly stable and supportive government policy, and diversifying economies. 


This paper focuses on a subset of emerging ASEAN markets, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand.
