<p>The first 10 months of 2016 brought its fair share of macroeconomic challenges to the region. During the 10 months, the Straits Times Index (STI) generated a 1% total return, which was not far behind that of the MSCI AC Asia Pacific Index. However, the 1% gain is hardly the full story for the 30 STI stocks in the year thus far.  All five Global Industry Classification Standards (GICS®) Sectors without STI representation also generated gains over the first 10 months. These Sectors are also at junctures of opportunity and challenge, with Sector-wide themes such as technology disruptors, population longevity &amp; growth and asymmetric trends in commodity prices. The five Sectors have also become increasingly important for investors who seek portfolio diversification in times of increased economic uncertainty. </p>
