Mijung Kang is a portfolio manager.  She is part of the Asian Equity (Japan excluded) team at Halbis Hong Kong, the leader in Assets Management in Asia. As a South Korean national, she manages the HSBC Korean Equity fund, a 2 years old fund.

During her speech, delivered on September 25, 2007, she explained why Korean equities are an excellent investment opportunity.

The manager identified four catalysts, with a strong positive effect on the market growth:

  • better than expected benefits are confirming,
  • the domestic and foreign demand for Korean equities will grow, and will change from Growth to Value,
  • an attractive increase in value,
  • the incoming presidential election, its positive effects on the economic reforms and the following increase in investment by the Industry.

Mijung Kang proceeded with a description of the fund, her management style and the strategy in place since 2007. As at August 31, 2007, the SICAV performs 107% (since its creation, on September 23, 2005), compared to a performance of just +68,7% for the related benchmark.
