RHB Research recently published the 18th edition of Top Malaysia 20 Jewels 2022. RHB Research continues to persevere and maintain unwavering commitment towards producing yet another signature compendium of 20 top small-cap investment ideas despite the extremely challenging macroeconomic environment.
The selection has been complicated by capital market volatility – buffeted by rising interest rates, high inflation, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and draconian lockdowns in China – we see a strong rebound in economic activities, with manufacturing and retail spending recovering swiftly. Valuation for small-cap stocks have also retraced, leading to a sizeable valuation gap to the big caps, making the investment thesis more compelling.
