Asia’s tech trade: Powered by a few, missed by many

Asia’s returns are being driven by a narrow group of semiconductor giants at the centre of the global AI boom raising real questions around concentration, valuation and what investors are actually getting. In this episode Lukasz and Fidelity Investment Director for Asian equity, Gary Monaghan unpack whether the momentum in AI-linked tech is sustainable, and what happens if expectations start to run ahead of earnings. Also covered: We explore how rising oil prices are shaping the outlook across Asia, with different impacts across key markets including India, China and ASEAN. We also discuss the implications of extreme market concentration for diversification, where investors may find overlooked opportunities beyond tech, particularly in under-owned areas like China, and why identifying companies with genuine pricing power is critical in a higher-cost environment.   Learn more about the Fidelity Asia Fund (https://www.fidelity.com.au/funds/fid...)
