Dear Valued Affluent Investors,

As all investors know, the market has recently rallied with most of the Mid caps rebounding from the lows. Many have said that the market has bottomed and a new bull has emerged- while some may still be bearish. Therefore, it is prudent for one to take a step-by-step analysis to navigate this market. As mentioned, the Midcaps have rallied the most. Largards remaining are Blue Chips, Small Caps and Microcaps. However, we believe that blue chip stocks will be the most negatively impacted due to the Coronavirus. Their large headcounts, fixed cost and large debt will make it hard for the heavyweights stocks to move.

Therefore, this leaves us with Fundamentally strong small-midcaps growth stocks with the largest potential upside. Value shines within a company in this category -  KTC Berhad.
