Q2 2020’s selection delivered an average return increase of 54% v’s the MSCI Asia Pacific Index 37.4% over the same period. The GARP-based screen uses a combination of growth and value metrics to identify shares where brokers are forecasting high earnings growth, but which are currently valued at a price that is low relative to their forecast outlook. Whilst Central Banks are providing additional liquidity favouring growth names, our value-based screen is key to delivering positive gains as tapering begins. Q2 2021's screen provides 16 key suggestions.  What makes the current selection interesting is the bias towards Taiwan and India on a country basis and Industrials and Healthcare on a sector basis. Also of particular note, Singapore presents one name on this screen.

Screening the Silk Road: Q2-2021 All Cap GARP (Zulu Warrior Screening)

Growth as an investment style has remained prominent over the COVID-19 period, reinforcing its decade long dominance over the value. The key question remains:  with earnings and value set to be a key theme over H2 2020 when exactly is the value style expected to reverse its underperformance trend? Our data suggest a greater than 66% chance of reversal shortly. As the value style reversal looks increasingly assured, exposure to GARP style investing and the underlying stocks are set to become even more important as we move into the second half of 2020. We highlight 17 stocks who fit the criteria in Q2 2020.
