We study Implied Equity Risk Premium (IERP) of Asian markets over the past 20 years to assess whether the markets are adequately factoring in the present risks or not.
In most markets, risk perceptions were much higher during the COVID pandemic or during the Russia-Ukraine conflict. It seems Asia is hoping for a quick resolution to the Middle-East conflict.
In particular, we think investors are complacent, reflected in low IERP, in Taiwan and Singapore. IERP's in these markets are near their lowest ever.
