KUALA LUMPUR: Withdrawals from the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) through facilities such as i-Sinar would have a modest negative impact on assets under management (AUM), but would not pose a dislocation event for the domestic capital market.
Maybank Kim Eng head of regional equity research Anand Pathmakanthan said the withdrawals were more impactful in the last two quarters but the retirement fund would be able to cushion that, especially with substantial money market buffers in its portfolio.
The EPF s AUM has continued to increase to almost the RM1 trillion mark, he noted. If we look at EPF s investments make-up, there are always substantial money market buffers in their portfolio.
KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 20): Maybank Kim Eng has a positive view on the Malaysian equity market conditions in 2021, on the back of sustained stimulus measures both fiscal and monetary.
“If we put aside the politics and temporary lockdowns, the underlying fundamentals for equity markets remain quite good,” said Maybank Kim Eng head of regional equity research Anand Pathmakanthan, in a webinar session today, titled Market Outlook 2021: Steering through Volatility .
He noted that there is a very good case for fund managers to reallocate their money into the Malaysian equity market, out from the fixed income or Malaysian debt market; fund managers have been seen to prefer putting their money into fixed income in the last two years.
