Russell Asia Pacific Index Returns
Notably, country constituents China (3.2%), Japan (2.9%) and Indonesia (2.7%) have had the lowest returns year-to-date within the Index. China (-0.2%) and Indonesia (-1.0%) have moved down thus far in August, while Japan has moved upward, returning +2.0%.
“We‘ve been writing all year about Thailand and the Philippines leading Asian equity markets given that the market dynamics in these countries can be largely insulated from macroeconomic cycles elsewhere,” said Sarah Lien, Senior Research Analyst for Russell Investments. “What is perhaps more interesting to note is the divergence between the returns of China and Hong Kong’s equity markets in 2012. Though it is often hard to differentiate between these markets, equity investors have shown a clear preference for Hong Kong.”
