As we roll into 2016, industry experts give their market forecast for the new year.  And with sustainability a hot topic this issue, Paula DiPerna and Robert Mudra discuss the effects of carbon and Chemicals of Concern.  BENCHMARK also shortlists the most desired tech, health, and 
travel gadgets on the market, with selections that will pique the interests of just about everyone.

In the August-October issue, BENCHMARK talks to the managers of multi-asset funds to find out the merits of multi-asset investment strategies. For this issue “Editor’s Choice”, we pick some of the best performing Asia-ex-Japan equity income funds, offering investors substantial returns without the risks associated with pure equity funds. BENCHMARK talks with Paul Griffiths of First State Investments on his insights on why corporate bonds are now more attractive than sovereign bonds, and how ESG plays an important part in the whole investment strategy for risk balancing. Stewart Aldcroft also examines the China-Hong Kong Funds Mutual Recognition Scheme and its implications to the Mainland China and Hong Kong fund market. Robert Mudra and Paula DiPerna examine how environmental changes affect investment communities in different aspects.

In the June-July issue, BENCHMARK talks to the experts on whether BRIC remains relevant for investors today and their strategies for investment in the grouping. In this month’s Editors’ Choice, we pick 5 of the top European large-cap funds, which are now starting to regain investor confidence alongside a resurgent Europe. BENCHMARK also examines the newly created Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, looking at how this new organization could fill a niche in Asia and the challenge of its first project in Nepal. This month, Paula DiPerna tells us how a run in with a mischievous mouse shows how going back to the basics can often be the best way for management to address problems, whilst Robert Mudra gives us the knowhow to get an edge for ESG integration programs. Elsewhere, we take a look at how the likes of Alibaba and Tencent are reshaping China’s banking industry, one particular energy company that provides an interesting investment opportunity in South Korea.

BENCHMARK takes and in-depth look at the prospects presented by the emerging and frontier markets, with a special contribution from Larry Cao of the CFA Institute on how these markets will ‘emerge’. BENCHMARK also talks to two of Jupiter’s fund managers about how they are well positioned and equipped to seize the opportunities of growth in these emerging nations. In this issue, BENCHMARK’s contributors take a look at how hobbits can provide valuable lessons for sustainable investing, the growing importance of wellness in keeping a healthy business, and the rise of robo-investing. Paula DiPerna also tells us how new business models are helping companies to understand their role in tackling the threat of climate change.

BENCHMARK talks to the managers of its prestigious award-winning Mutual Funds, MPFs and ETFs in the April issue, covering 27 winning companies at this year’s BENCHMARK Fund of the Year Awards 2014. BENCHMARK contributors also take a look at topics including the development of the core fund in Hong Kong, the importance of the family meeting, and the encouraging détente in relations between the United States and Cuba.

Euro debt and Greek economic uncertainty, China's Central Bank cutting interest rates for two times in three months, Ukraine's looming political conflicts with Russia, all these volatile events contribute to an uneasy start to the year. However, Asia now looks set to issue record-beating international bond volumes again for the year ahead, BENCHMARK takes a look at the trials, tribulations and opportunities which face the Asian Fixed Income sector in 2015.

With real estate now being adopted as a distinct asset class for many types of investor, and with a wider variety of funds available, BENCHMARK canvasses opinion on the outlook for markets in 2015 and beyond.
