Picking winners in volatile times
In this report we take a close look at the Taiwan market by
examining the structure of different industries and the ability
of individual companies to generate profits.
We have constructed a framework that uses asset turnover
and margin to categorise companies and analyse business
models. We argue that investors should build Taiwan
exposure in the following ways:
Select blue-chip companies with strong business models
at low valuations
Select cyclical exposure (tech)
Select some smaller names with great long-term potential
