Asia ex-Japan: driving growth in the global middle class


With 60% of the world’s population – over 4.5 billion people – living in Asia, the rapid rise of the middle class is a powerful engine for long-term growth. As illustrated below, almost all future growth in the global middle class over the next 7 years is projected to come from Asia1.

Asia is projected to drive nearly all future growth in the global middle class.
Regional contribution to middle class growth: 2023 to 2030 (Millions of people)1

Source: Brookings Institution, J.P. Morgan Asset Management. Data as of 30.04.2023. Forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements are based upon current beliefs and expectations. This information is provided for illustrative purposes only to demonstrate macro trends. Forecasts/Estimates may or may not come to pass.

The sustained increase in affluence could create a wide range of growth opportunities in the region, driven by powerful long-term trends such as lifestyle upgrades, demographic changes and financial deepening2.

Giving it time. Letting it grow.


Harnessing Asia’s growth potential requires a long-term perspective as these enduring, multi-year secular themes take time to bear fruit. As illustrated below, investing in Asia ex-Japan equities invariably entails some volatility, but the longer-term outcome could be worthwhile2.

 

Investing for the long run

As an illustration of long-term investing, the chart below tracks the historical cumulative growth of US$10,000 invested in Asia ex-Japan equities versus short-term US Treasuries over a 20-year time horizon2.

Source: Bloomberg, J.P. Morgan Asset Management. Data as of 31.05.2023. For illustrative purposes only. Asia ex-Japan equities is based on the MSCI Asia ex-Japan Index. Short-term US Treasuries is based on the Bloomberg Short-term US Treasury Total Return Index. Both indices are in US dollar terms. Results may vary. Past performance is not indicative of current or future results. Provided for information only to illustrate macro trends, not to be construed as offer, research or investment advice. Indices do not include fees or operating expenses and are not available for actual investment. Typically, actual investment also includes fees and charges.

From this perspective, an allocation to Asian equities, in the context of a well-diversified portfolio, can be useful for longer-term goals such as retirement, where investment horizons tend to stretch decades rather than months or years2.

In addition, in instances where Asian assets are underrepresented in a portfolio, we believe Asian equities can present an important source of regional diversification2.

The importance of a bottom-up approach

Nevertheless, investing in Asia should not simply be a passive endeavour for two key reasons:

Asia is vast & highly diverse, highlighting the need of a more nuanced understanding of the region

Asia presents a wide range of markets in different stages of economic and financial development. Varied political systems, policy regimes and business cultures may present unique risks that investors will have to manage and navigate when engaging equity opportunities in this region.

Pricing anomalies in Asian equity markets can present opportunities for bottom-up stock picking

Asian equity markets can exhibit high levels of pricing anomalies. This implies ample scope for skilled active managers to seek underappreciated opportunities that can potentially present attractive returns over time.

These factors underscore the importance of on-the-ground presence3 and rigorous bottom-up stock selection to uncover quality and enduring growth opportunities in this highly dynamic and diverse region.

Position sizing and active allocation will also matter to optimise longer-term outcomes for portfolios as investment prospects can change quickly in these fast-moving markets.

 

Putting local knowledge to work through Asia-focused growth solutions

J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s suite of Asia-focused equity solutions can help investors dive deeper and uncover attractive bottom-up equity opportunities through a prudent, disciplined and risk-aware approach4.
