AML represents one of the largest hematologic cancer populations with one of the worst survival rates. Global prevalence is expected to increase at 2015-20 CAGR of ~12% to 434,214 in 2020.The current standard of care for newly diagnosed patients is a combination of daunorubicin and cytarabine, commonly known as 7+3. However, durable remissions occur only in a minority of adult patients. Hence r/r AML remains a disease of high unmet need, especially for “elderly” patients. Treatment landscape…

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.
