Cross Asset Strategy

<ul>
<li>A look at Asian markets' PE relative to future EPS growth and PBV relative to future ROE re-establishes the conclusion that Korea and Philippines are cheap, and India is expensive. </li>
<li>Market buoyancy and EPS estimate downgrades have taken Asia-ex- Japan's and HK/China's 12-month forward PE to 15-17% higher than long-term average.  So are Korea (6%), Taiwan (21%) and India (26%).</li>
<li>We're cautious on India. We'll watch HK/China's valuation closely but aren't too worried about them. Korea's valuation can expand further. We'll turn watchful here only after another 10% appreciation.</li>
