Review: Positive market sentiment prevailing

Aberdeen New Thai Investment Trust (ANW) provides selective exposure to Thai equities. After significant weakness last year, the SET index has actually gained c 20% in 2014, despite political turmoil and the military coup, signalling confidence in the resilience of the economy. While much remains unresolved, history suggests a sanguine view can be justified and the manager is hopeful that GDP growth, after slowing in the first half, will begin to bounce back in the second half given improving consumer confidence. ANW trades at the upper end of its recent discount range and offers a peer-leading 2% yield.
