《2021年财政预算案》带来的利好消息分析员均认为建筑领域是预算案的最大赢家。政府今年拨出的发展开销按年增加190亿令吉或38%，至690亿令吉。政府也同时表明，会重启大型基础设施项目，包括第3捷运计划等。另外，泛婆罗洲大道、新山至金马士双轨火车铁路项目等也获得延续。银河联昌证券分析员认为，铁路项目的承包商会是长期受益者。
艾芬黄氏资本分析员亦有相同看法，说政府恢复第3捷运计划、隆新高铁项目（HSR），有助扩大承包商手上订单。他补充，这利好消息下的潜在受惠公司计有HSS工程（HSSEB，0185，主板工业股）、金务大（GAMUDA，5398，建筑股）、马资源（MRCB，1651，产业股） 、怡保工程（ I J M ，3336，建筑股）、双威建筑集团（SUNCON，5263，建筑股）、WCT控股（W C T，9 6 7 9，建筑股）及杨忠礼机构（Y T L，4 6 7 7，公用股）。

另一边厢政府明年将拨款10亿令吉推动国内高附加价值科技领域的研究和发展活动受惠的工业区有槟城峇都加湾、吉打居林科技园区内的航天和电子领域。基于政府拨款1亿5000万令吉支持中小企业迈向数码科技，大众投行分析员认为，阁代科技（GREATEC，0208，科技股）可从该措施获利，因阁代科技在上述两科技园区内均有厂房。维毅集团（ISTONE，0209，科技股）、MMS创投（MMSV，0113，科技股）、腾达科技（PENTA，7160，科技股）和伟特科技（V I T R O X，0097，科技股）这些自动化解决方案供应商会是受惠公司。

Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz said Budget 2021 is not the usual scheme as announced in previous years because the Budget this time involves a combination of solutions to support citizens’ livelihoods and the country’s economic growth as it fights against the COVID-19 pandemic.
Harian Metro quoted Tengku Zafrul as saying in an interview that Budget 2021, to be tabled by him in Parliament at 4pm tomorrow (Nov 6), will have to strike a balance between supporting the people’s livelihoods and the country’s economic growth.
Across Bursa today, top gainers included semiconductor manufacturers Malaysian Pacific Industries Bhd (MPI) and Unisem (M) Bhd after their share prices rose to record intraday highs at RM24.28 and RM6.16 respectively.

KLCI up 36.88 points, Bursa gainers top 1,000 on US election, Budget 2021 bets
KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 5): The FBM KLCI closed 36.88 points or 2.52% higher at 1,501.49 while Bursa Malaysia’s indices for technology stocks and small market capitalisation (small cap) companies rose by a larger quantum as investors speculated on the outcome of the closely-watched US presidential election and as they looked ahead to the tabling of Malaysia’s Budget 2021 tomorrow. There were more than 1,000 gainers across Bursa today.
At 5pm today, the KLCI closed at its intraday high while Bursa’s Technology Index ended up 5.36% to become the largest-percentage gainer among the exchange’s indices. The Small Cap Index finished up 4.01%.
Bursa saw 6.92 billion securities worth RM3.89 billion traded across the exchange. There were 1,096 gainers versus 204 decliners as global stock markets rose ahead of a conclusive outcome from the US presidential election.
It was reported that stocks and currencies in Asia's emerging markets rose on Thursday as Democrat Joe Biden pulled ahead of Republican rival Donald Trump and was within striking distance of clinching a nail-biting US presidential election.
It was reported that the Democratic candidate is widely seen as likely to be less combative on trade policy and in relations with the region's growth engine China, and investors hope that it may clear the way for Asia's stronger recovery from the coronavirus crisis.
"Biden is a seasoned politician and will revert the United States to a trajectory of more conventional foreign policies and geopolitical manoeuvring, which is somewhat good for China and emerging economies at large,” Reuters quoted Mahesh Sethuraman, country head of global sales trading at Saxo Capital Markets, Singapore as saying.
In Malaysia, MIDF Amanah Investment Bank Bhd research head Imran Yassin Yusof told theedgemarkets.com today that "investor sentiment has improved on a possible Biden win."
Imran said that a Biden win is expected to reduce market uncertainties as Biden will likely be less confrontational on global trade affairs.

CYBERJAYA (Sept 22): The Communications and Multimedia Ministry (MCMC) is empowering 1,064 community internet centres (PIK) nationwide to become digital transformation centres for local communities, the younger generation in particular.
The MCMC in a statement today said besides providing basic training on information technology and communications (ICT) for various groups, the centres would now also provide more advanced training sessions.
Among them are programming, robotic applications, mobile application innovation, e-commerce entrepreneurship, animation, video production, 3D printing and other forms of training which could benefit the youngsters to upskill and innovate.
“We hope the facilities and programmes provided will assist youths to equip themselves with advanced digital knowledge to compete in building the future,” it said.
According to the MCMC, its survey on broadband usage in 2018 found that 67.8% or 19.5 million out of 28.7 million internet users in the country were youths.
From that total, 80.9% of 16.6 million youths were involved in e-commerce activities, while 78.4% were using the internet between one and 12 hours every day, it said.
“The survey also showed that youths used the internet as the main platform to look for jobs and entertainment, playing online games, communications and searching for information.
Meanwhile, the MCMC said telecommunication providers in this country welcomed the suggestion by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on Sept 17 to provide youths with adequate knowledge and vast opportunities to spark innovation and new ideas in the digital economy era.

Muhyiddin: Microsoft, Amazon and Google keen to develop Malaysia into regional IT hub
JOHOR BARU, Aug 15 — Global technology giants Microsoft, Amazon and Google have shown interest in together developing Malaysia into a regional hub for information technology, says Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
The prime minister said representatives of the major tech firms expressed their interest at a meeting with him recently.
I think many have shown their interest in helping Malaysia. Recently the leaders of Microsoft, Amazon and Google met with me expressing their readiness to be involved in the process of developing Malaysia in the IT and other fields to make Malaysia a regional centre.
But first, to make sure, does our country have the best connectivity? The main issue usually raised is lack of access. Our Internet is not efficient,” he said at a town hall session with state and federal civil servants in Johor here today.
Muhyiddin, who is also Pagoh MP, also said Malaysia has not achieved a competitive level of Internet connectivity, citing the example of a schoolgirl in Sabah who had to climb a tree to get good Internet access.
He said while the government’s commitment to improving its Internet connectivity is already there, the time has come to step forward to expand access.
In June, Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) student Veveonah Mosibin, 18, of Kampung Sapatalang in Pitas, Sabah uploaded You Tube videos of her spending the night in a tree to get better Internet access for her online university examinations.

The big opportunity in this space is digital transformation.” — Jonathan Curtis, vice-president of Franklin Equity Group
KUALA LUMPUR (June 23): Technology sector will see "powerful acceleration" growth in both revenue and earnings, according to Franklin Templeton Investments.
"Once we get through this crisis, we're going to start seeing very powerful acceleration, not only in revenue but in earnings for this sector," said Jonathan Curtis, vice-president of Franklin Equity Group at Franklin Templeton Investments, in "Tech Sector in the Post Pandemic World" webinar session today.
"Investors are so positive about this sector right now. Because coming out of this crisis, it (the tech sector) is well positioned to drive very strong growth," he said.
Curtis highlighted that the expected exponential growth would materialise in the coming three to five years.
"The Covid-19 [pandemic] has accelerated the opportunity in this space and we think coming out of this current challenge, we are going to see an acceleration in technology investment," said Curtis.
In terms of valuation, Curtis said the sector's valuation is reasonable, given its long-term growth potential and high quality of growth.
He believes that the IT sector's valuation is elevated but not excessive, and when compared with valuations of the S&P 500, the tech index is only at an 8% premium currently.
Curtis pointed out that the price-to-earnings multiple on S&P 500 info technology index of 25.01 times currently is nowhere near the level in 1999 to 2000 of over 50 times. "Thus, we don't think this is a bubble," he said.
On the local front, technology stocks can be seen swarming the top gainers list in the recent three months. Bursa Malaysia technology index, from this year's low of 23.81 points in March, has jumped 73.2% to 41.24 points at the time of writing.
The stellar performance of the four FANG stocks has helped fuel the upward trend among Malaysian tech stocks. All three Apple Inc, Netflix Inc and Amazon.com Inc have just hit a record high on Wall Street.
Alphabet Inc, on the other hand, has rebounded US$400 to US$1,451.86 from the low in March.
Curtis expressed his optimism about the tech sector, saying that its growth "is going to go on for a long time" on the back of digital transformation.
"The big opportunity in this space is digital transformation," said Curtis, saying that it will be supported by growth drivers such as artificial intelligence, fintech, internet of things, and 5G technology, among many others.
Curtis said the demand and the need to use the technology have really soared during the Covid-19 pandemic.
"We needed to learn how to work from home, educate from home, shop from home, exercise from home, healthcare from home, socialise from home and dine out from home," he said, adding that there has been a massive retraining of consumers on how the services work and what it could do, during the lockdown.
Curtis noted that consumers and businesses are going to continue to use these digital services and that retraining will continue not just until a vaccine is broadly administered, but even post the Covid-19 crisis.
Furthermore, he said that the tech sector has a "very good quality" being the third-most profitable sector across the S&P 500 by earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation margins, adding that it is also one of the few S&P 500 sectors that are net cash positive.

Food delivery firm delivers on growth
Timely delivery: DeliverEat tries to ensure that the food reaches customers within 45 minutes from the time they place their orders online.
FOOD delivery outfit DeliverEat is expecting revenue to double this year as more consumers cosy up to the idea of having their meals delivered to their doorstep.
In line with the expanding market, the company is expecting a compounded annual growth rate of 23.2% for the 2019-2023 period.
According to a Statista on-line food delivery survey for Malaysia, the revenue of the online food delivery segment is expected to hit US$145mil (RM599mil) in 2019.
DeliverEat founder and chief operating officer Leong Shir Mein says the business is booming mainly because food delivery is gaining wider acceptance as people are starting to experience the convenience of the process.
“Initially, people were wondering whether there was such a need for this business as restaurants and hawker stalls can be found in every corner in Penang.
“Eventually, they saw the convenience of having food sent to their homes. They then realised that food delivery services save you the time to drive out to eat, as you could face problems with finding a parking space or you may get caught in a traffic jam, ” she says.
The growth in business has enabled the Penang-based company to also expand into the central region. Leong says the company is now delivering 8,000 meals a day in the Klang Valley and Penang. She estimates that the current market size of the food catering business is about RM5mil daily.
“Each person spends at least RM10 nowadays for a meal, ” she notes.
She adds that the market education carried out by various food delivery players over time has also changed trends among consumers.
“Initially, people thought that we could only deliver fast food such as burgers, pizzas and fried chicken.
More eateries: Leong says the number of restaurants in its network will double over the next 12 months.
“Now they realise that we deliver for more than 2,000 restaurants, and we can also deliver for hawkers. The number of restaurants will double over the next 12 months, ” she says.
Presently, DeliverEat has 400 riders serving the Klang Valley and Penang.
“We plan to extend our food delivery services to other states in the peninsular and also to East Malaysia in the near future.
“We also cater for corporate functions and parties, ” she adds.
DeliverEat tries to ensure that the food orders reach customers within 45 minutes from the time they place their orders online via its website. Customers can track the status of their orders by logging on with their order identification codes at the website.
Leong says when the company started in 2012, the number of daily orders for the lunch hour alone was around 15. At that time, it was more focused on the working crowd in offices and factories.
“Each order would be around RM70, which serves four to five persons, ” she says.
With more choices available to consumers these days, food outlets are looking for options to reach a wider group of customers beyond just their physical location. However, Leong notes that many of them were unable to do so because they did not have a delivery team.
“Our strategy is to get more restaurants and food outlets that provide different cuisines to appoint us as the delivery agent, ” she says.
When restaurants engage the services of DeliverEat, they are able to save on investments to provide their own delivery services, which Leong says would require an initial investment of at least RM6,000, inclusive of wages and motor-cycles.
“Furthermore, they also have to consider the cost of advertising their delivery services in the media.
As for restaurants that already have their own delivery team, the strategy is to “secure orders from our customers for them”.

China needs first mover advantage in digitial-currency race
SHANGHAI (Sept 21): China needs to become the first nation to issue a digital currency in its push to internationalise the yuan and reduce its dependence on the global dollar-payment system, a commentary published by the country's central bank said.
An article published in China Finance, a magazine run by the People's Bank of China (PBOC), said the rights to issue and control a digital currency would become a "new battlefield" of competition among sovereign countries.
Issuance and circulation of the digital currency would bring great changes to existing international finance, it said.
"China has many advantages and opportunities in issuing [first] digital currencies, so it should accelerate the pace to seize the first track," the article, which was published over the weekend, said.
Local media last month reported some of China's major state-run commercial banks had already started conducting large-scale internal testing of a digital wallet, moving a step closer to the official launch of the home-grown digital currency.
The China Finance article argued that the improved data feedback from a digital currency would help enhance monetary-policy transmission, which supports an economic recovery in the post-pandemic era.
China also needs to establish a new payment-system network to break the dollar monopoly as a key part of the yuan internationalisation, the article said.
It added that a PBOC digital-currency-research unit had filed 130 patent applications related to cryptocurrency ranging from issuance, circulation to application as of end-April. Those functions would form a complete supply chain to support for the launch of a digital currency.
In April, the PBOC's digital-currency institute told Reuters it was conducting internal trials of a digital-currency electronic-payment system in four cities and that it intended to pilot the system at future Winter Olympics venues.
The PBOC set up the research team six years ago to explore the possibility of launching a digital currency to cut the cost of circulating paper money and boost policymakers' control of money supply.

FedEx wrings out profit as pandemic-fueled e-commerce deliveries surge
LOS ANGELES(Sept 16): US delivery firm FedEx Corp reported a bigger-than-expected quarterly profit on Tuesday, after price hikes, lower fuel costs and efficiency gains countered negative impacts associated with a pandemic-fueled surge in e-commerce shipments.
Shares in the Memphis-based company jumped 7.6% to US$254.66 in extended trading. Average daily package volume for FedEx Ground, which handles e-commerce deliveries for retailers like Walmart, jumped 31% to 11.6 million during the fiscal first quarter ended Aug 31.
Bonds remain relevant amid uncertain times
As the number of reported Covid-19 cases worldwide breaches the 26 million mark and deaths total close to 900,000 (at the point of writing), the trade-off between economic cost and reducing the spread of the pandemic through lockdowns is starting to weigh on global growth...
Home deliveries traditionally have been more expensive because they involved fewer packages and far-flung stops. Rising volumes and investments in things like automated sorting centres and route optimisation are bringing those costs down.
"Minor improvements can make a big difference whenever you're moving this many packages a day. The worst of the pressures on profitability are probably behind the company," Edward Jones analyst Matt Arnold said.
FedEx spent US$565 million on fuel across the company during the quarter, 35% less than a year earlier.

KOTA KINABALU (Sept 17): Sabah is the biggest beneficiary of the infrastructure development project under the Government’s National Digital Network (JENDELA) initiative with an estimated cost of RM2.45 billion, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said.
He said the implementation of the initiative would turn the broadband facilities and services for the people of Sabah to be on par with those provided in other States in Malaysia.
“The people of Sabah will have wider broadband access starting at the end of this year until 2022. A total of 419 new towers will be built and 1,972 existing transmitters will be upgraded to 4G.
“Besides, the fixed line fibre optic coverage will also be expanded to cover 251,166 premises across Sabah,” he said at the launch of Gerbang Sabah, which is the largest component of JENDELA to strengthen the construction of the national digital infrastructure, here today.
Also present were Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah, Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) chairman Dr Fadhlullah Suhaimi Abdul Malek, and Telekom Malaysia Berhad chairman Tan Sri Mohd Bakke Salleh.
Muhyiddin said Gerbang Sabah is the Internet connection point between Sabah and the rest of the world, and is believed to be able to boost the State’s development and progress, besides preparing the people to face the future based on innovation and technology.
It is hoped that the initiative would also improve the level of connectivity as well as the quality of communication services experience nationwide through the development of faster and more comprehensive digital infrastructure.
“Gerbang Sabah will be the starting point to increase the digital capacity of the people in Sabah and open the opportunity for everyone to progress to greater heights in the future,” he said.
The Prime Minister said the Government through the MCMC had also set up 133 Community Internet Centres to provide digital guidance to the people of Sabah, including to generate income through e-commerce activities.
As the youths are the most active group among broadband facility users, the Government and service provider companies will work together to create special broadband access packages for them, such as through low cost services and attractive terms to help them meet the learning and communication needs of the new normal era, he said.
“All aspirations towards the development of a digital society and a sustainable digital economy for Sabah people begin at Gerbang Sabah. The broadband connection capacity here will be channelled to the infrastructure such as fibre optic exchanges and telecommunication towers statewide,” he said.
Muhyiddin also expressed hope that the initiative would close the digital gap among the States in Malaysia apart from improving Sabah’s reputation in the eyes of the world.
Meanwhile, he said the capacity of the Malaysian People’s Cable System (SKRM) in Tanjung Aru had also been increased from 4 Terabit per second to 7.3 Terabit per second.
The Prime Minister said Telekom Malaysia had also upgraded and doubled the SKRM capacity by three times to achieve at least 12.8 Terabit per second in the next three to four years.
“This will involve an additional allocation of RM100 million to the original investment of RM575.5 million by the MCMC and Telekom Malaysia,” he said, adding that the SKRM capacity was vital to accommodate the increasing use of the Internet by the Sabah people and to support JENDELA objectives.
In a similar development, Muhyiddin said 96.9 percent of the populated areas in the country will be covered by 4G services by 2022 before the Government could upgrade it to 5G.
“I would like to repeat the Perikatan Nasional’s (PN) commitment to transform the JENDELA action plan and the launch of Gerbang Sabah is an important part of the initiave,” he said.

Correct upload speed for 500Mbps package is 100Mbps, not 200Mbps — TM
KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 21): Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM) has clarified that the correct upload speed configuration for its 500Mbps package is 100Mbps and not 200Mbps as stated in the earlier version of the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), unifi Portal and leaflets.
TM also reiterated that there has been no change to the upload speed configuration for the new unifi 500Mbps package.
TM said this clarification was in response to the statement made by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) titled “MCMC Siasat Aduan Pengurangan Kelajuan Pakej unifi Berbanding Tawaran Awal”, adding it would like to assure all its customers and stakeholders of its commitment to consumer rights and protection.
TM said it continues to be transparent in informing its customers on this, and are tightening its processes to ensure this does not recur.
“In the meantime, we will give our full cooperation to the MCMC in their investigation.
“We wish to update that all customers are still within the 30-day Try Me period as we just introduced the package less than one month ago on Aug 24, 2020.
“Hence, customers can opt not to continue with us without any penalty,” it said.
TM will be calling customers who had signed up for the 500Mbps package since Aug 24, to inform them of the error and on the options available to them, starting from Monday Sept 21.

Hospital launches virtual follow-up care
Monday, 20 Jul 2020
Brown says the hospital’s digital platform will enable patients to seek medical attention more promptly from the comfort of home.
RAMSAY Sime Darby Health Care (RSDH) has introduced a digital platform that enables its existing patients to take part in virtual consultations with the company’s health practitioners while at home.
Named “Telehealth Plus”, it also caters to those requiring general health screening with the aim to provide easy access to over a million local and international patients.
In Malaysia, RSDH facilities — Subang Jaya Medical Centre, Ara Damansara Medical Centre and ParkCity Medical Centre — started virtual clinics via this platform last month.
Patients can now receive follow-up care from healthcare professionals ranging from cardiologists, oncologists and neurosurgeons to paediatricians and physicians.
Appointments can also be made with allied health professionals like occupational and rehabilitation therapists.
Accessible via web browsers on a laptop, tablet or smartphone, the platform leverages innovative technology and ease of use, enabling patients with concerns about Covid-19 to still obtain timely medical care.
RSDH group chief executive officer Greg Brown, said, “We invested in the digital platform to offer comprehensive services, including video consultation for patients who prefer less frequent hospital visits for now.
“With its availability, we believe patients will be less prone to neglecting their health and seek medical attention more promptly from the comfort of their homes.”
However, he said that virtual consultation was only available for follow-up patients who have already had at least one in-person consultation.
“Patients can also upload test results and reports for doctors to review and due to this, virtual health screening can be done easily, with shorter waiting time for patients and consultations handled conveniently with a video call.
“Integrating digital services is a timely move. We currently have individual health service platforms for our hospitals in Malaysia and Indonesia.
“Our medium-term plan is to have one integrated platform, including our patient management system which includes electronic medical records for our group of hospitals in order to provide seamless services, ” said Brown.
Patients can make follow-up appointments and e-payments, while keeping track of consultation history with e-appointment cards. Medicine can also be prescribed via this service for self-pickup or home delivery.
The group is also looking into medication delivery for international patients.

Bursa to temporarily suspend PN17 and GN3 classifications
KUALA LUMPUR: In view of the current trying time, the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) chairman Datuk Syed Zaid Albar announced that Bursa Malaysia will temporarily suspend Practice Note 17 (PN17) or Guidance Note 3 (GN3) classification on companies which financial positions slip into the status.
“We have already allowed PN17 and GN3 companies up to 24 months to regularise their financials.
“So, moving forward, in addition to this, after a discussion with Bursa, Bursa will provide companies listed on the Main Market, temporary relief from the PN17 classification in relation to certain criteria,” said Syed Zaid. The temporary relief also applied to GN3 for ACE Market-listed companies.
Currently, there are 25 Main Market-listed PN17 companies and three GN3 companies on ACE Market which need to regularise their financial positions.
The 28 companies now have more time to work out their regularisation plan considering they contend with challenges due to the Covid-19 pandemic, said Syed Zaid.
“These measures will allow companies more time to regularise their financial positions. The period for this relaxation will be effective from April 17 this year until June 30, 2021,” he said during a virtual media briefing in conjunction with the release of the SC’s 2019 annual report yesterday.
Noting that extraordinary times call for extraordinary responses, Syed Zaid said “this is not business as usual” given the unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic. He noted that the SC is deploying a wide range of regulatory tools to support the market and its participants.
While the SC is doing what it can to support the businesses, we remain steadfast in ensuring investor interest is protected during this challenging time. We continue to raise investor awareness on scams, as scammers tend to target people during times of uncertainty.
The SC will take a targeted approach to protect vulnerable investors and minority shareholders. I would also like to remind our intermediaries to remain vigilant and for PLCs (public limited companies) to remember their obligations to shareholders and to make timely disclosures,” he said.
The regulator also assured investors that the Malaysian capital market remains fundamentally strong and is functioning in an orderly manner, supported by deep domestic liquidity and complemented by the government’s stimulus packages.
As the financial system adjusts to the impact of Covid-19, Syed Zaid said the SC will continue to monitor the evolving situation in global and domestic markets, calibrate its responses and update the public accordingly.

Muhyiddin: Microsoft, Amazon and Google keen to develop Malaysia into regional IT hub
JOHOR BARU, Aug 15 — Global technology giants Microsoft, Amazon and Google have shown interest in together developing Malaysia into a regional hub for information technology, says Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
The prime minister said representatives of the major tech firms expressed their interest at a meeting with him recently.
I think many have shown their interest in helping Malaysia. Recently the leaders of Microsoft, Amazon and Google met with me expressing their readiness to be involved in the process of developing Malaysia in the IT and other fields to make Malaysia a regional centre.
But first, to make sure, does our country have the best connectivity? The main issue usually raised is lack of access. Our Internet is not efficient,” he said at a town hall session with state and federal civil servants in Johor here today.
Muhyiddin, who is also Pagoh MP, also said Malaysia has not achieved a competitive level of Internet connectivity, citing the example of a schoolgirl in Sabah who had to climb a tree to get good Internet access.
He said while the government’s commitment to improving its Internet connectivity is already there, the time has come to step forward to expand access.
In June, Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) student Veveonah Mosibin, 18, of Kampung Sapatalang in Pitas, Sabah uploaded You Tube videos of her spending the night in a tree to get better Internet access for her online university examinations.
The videos have since been viewed over 150,000 times.

Investing in local tech
The local technology sector has been one of the biggest winners on the local bourse since it plummeted in March, thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic. While the Bursa Malaysia Technology Index saw a dip then, it has since recovered to hit a 16-year high on Aug 11, outperforming the FBM KLCI.
This interest in the tech sector follows close on the heels of the global rally in tech stocks. Investors are betting on the accelerated digitalisation trend triggered by the pandemic, which has restricted movement and thus increased the popularity of digital services.
While there are no local equity funds solely focused on the tech sector, several local equity and mixed asset funds have benefited from this trend over the last 12 months. These funds managed to record double-digit returns in the past six months to one year due in part to their large exposure to tech stocks.
After the World Health Organization declared Covid-19 as a pandemic, we shifted the strategy of the BIMB i Growth fund to focus on sectors that might benefit from the situation. These include the technology, healthcare and consumer-related stocks. This shift in focus improved the fund’s performance,” says Abd Razak Salimin, head of investment at BIMB Investment Management Bhd.
According to its latest fund factsheet dated June 30, the largest sector allocation for the BIMB i Growth fund was in information technology (45.9%). It recorded a cumulative performance of 16.96% in the past six months and 14.21% in the past one year.
We were positive on the technology sector for a long time but Covid-19 was a catalyst for the growth of technology stocks, particularly 5G-related counters. Due to the pandemic, everyone experienced the need to have good [mobile internet] connection, so we foresaw 5G-related tech counters would perform well,” says Abd Razak. The allocation to tech counters was also a diversification strategy away from the heated glove counters, he adds.
InterPac Dana Safi, which is classified as a mixed asset fund by Lipper, switched its focus to the technology sector last December when Datuk Dr Nazri Khan became the new head of Inter-Pacific Asset Management Sdn Bhd (InterPac).
Nazri says he has always been positive on the technology sector and believes that the 5G trend and Malaysian government’s push for digitalisation will benefit local tech counters.
We think the government will incorporate [incentives for digitalisation and automation] into Budget 2021 and there will be more allocation for e-commerce and 5G technologies going forward. After the pandemic, we are also optimistic that there will be more demand for semiconductors due to pent-up demand in the automotive segment and for things like smart homes and Industry 4.0,” he says.
According to its latest factsheet dated June 30, InterPac Dana Safi had a 70.72% allocation to the technology sector. It recorded a return of 13.35% for the past six months and 20.86% for the past year.
