Dear Client,

Our Country and Sector views are extremely well supportedby a best-in-class macro & strategy team and our stock views benefit tremendously fromy gy ycooperation within sectors on both a regional and global level as evident in the numerousFITT (Fundamental, Industry, Thematic, Thought Leading) reports published last year.Furthermore, our widespread geographical presence allows our analysts to develop stronglocal relationships, understand micro trends and spend more time with their corporates.These relationships underpin our Corporate Access offering: Our annual conference line-upfeatures flagship events such as dbAccess Asia in Singapore; dbAccess China in Beijing; anddbAccess India in Mumbai. We look forward to seeing you at one (and hopefully more) ofthese events in 2013.these events in 2013.

2012 was both interesting and challenging in equal measure but our team is generallyupbeat going into 2013 given our expectations for lower policy uncertainty in the keyeconomies, a recovery in economic growth from cyclical lows across the region andreasonable equity valuations. As such, we would very much like to take this opportunity towish you all the very best for 2013 and to thank you for all your support over recent years.Please contact us should you have any research-related questions or feedback for our teamand full contact details for our team heads are contained at the back of this reportand full contact details for our team heads are contained at the back of this report.

Economics

The Outlooke Out oo

The difficult negotiations regarding the US “fiscalcliff” highlight the struggle the G3 face in reducinggovernment debt and deficits. The risks this processposes for Asia are high given the region’s exposure toglobal growth. But our baseline forecast for 2013/14 isone of progressively stronger growth abroad and inAsia We are especially bullish on China and see theAsia. We are especially bullish on China and see themore export-sensitive economies of Hong Kong,Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan as also likely tosee much stronger growth. Conversely, we expectgrowth in ASEAN ex-Singapore will remain stable.The recovery in India will be less impressive than inChina, but our forecasts are above consensus theretoo. With stronger growth, however, will likely comehi h i fl i W hhigher inflation. We expect exchange rateappreciation will be the main anti-inflation policy tool,but expect rate hikes to resume, led by thePhilippines, Indonesia and Thailand. India and SriLanka conversely, are expected to cut rates by 100bpsand 75bps, respectively. Key risks to the region arethe possibility of higher food price inflation and therisk that an aggressive reflationary policy in Japan

Equity Strategy

The Outlooke Out oo

Asian equities should have a decent run in 2013, afterbeing in a stealth bull market in 2012. While investorsare weary of analyzing the policy zig-zags andweekend communiqués of the past few years, a keytheme this year is likely to be a drop in economicpolicy uncertainty. This is a key driver of equityperformance the stock picking opportunity and theperformance, the stock-picking opportunity and therelative performance of more cyclical stocks with lesspristine balance sheets. It also means that the “sinstock” bubble might pop. We think that Asianmargins should surprise positively as the terms oftrade improve and we see a cyclical low in economicactivity by early 2013.

A h i l i f A i l k blAt the same time, valuations for Asia look reasonable– 0.63 standard deviations below the long-termaverage, risk-love (sentiment) is neutral and policy islikely to ease selectively in the region. All these meanthat this is a positive environment for equities. Weretain our focus on combining value with growth andstay focused on risk-love, trying not to get too excitedwhen it is euphoric, and not too depressed when it isin a panic. As such, we remain overweight onTHAILAND & INDIA and underweight on KOREA &TAIWAN, positions that have helped our modelportfolio in 2012.

FX & Rates

The Outlooke Out oo

As we ride the QE ship into 2013, there looks to bemore left to play for in the Asian rates and currencycomplex. To be sure, the easing cycle is over in mostof Asia and absolute levels of yields are close to, ifnot at, all time lows. With reduced carry, and thepossibility of re-pricing inflation expectations insome of the G3 curves duration is relatively lesssome of the G3 curves, duration is relatively lessattractive to hold. But the search for yield in thecontext of global QE and the pull of credit re-ratingfor Asian sovereigns, continues to support Asianfixed income. A modest supply outlook, and theappetite from local real money investors to absorbrisk in the event of cheapening of spreads, shouldallow Asian curves to outperform the US in a sell off.

Currencies should pick up some of the slack in thisdiminishing pool of total returns. Asian FX shouldbenefit from capital inflows in the context of globalQE, a gradually improving growth outlook, reductionin tail risks and increased accommodation ofcurrency strength by regional central banks. Returnswill likely become more differentiated and riskspossibly more linked to the shape and form ofregulatory intervention.

We enter 2013 with a more cautious stance onduration and a more constructive, though discerning,bias on currencies. For cash bond investors, werecommend overweight exposure to India and thePhilippines; market weight in China, Indonesia,Philippines; market weight in China, Indonesia,Malaysia and Thailand; and modest underweight inKorea and Singapore. FX trades we like includebuying PHP and CNH (versus USD), and KRW versusJPY. We also favor buying 3M USD/INR RKO puts,and selling SGD versus the NEER. The Team

Credit Strategy

The Outlooke Out oo

As we tighten views for the year ahead we remainpositive on Asian credit but we expect lower returnsthan in 2012 and certainly not without some volatility.We expect total returns for investment grade (IG) andhigh yield (HY) of around 4% and 8% respectively – orabout 1/3 of 2012’s returns (where Asia credit wasamong the best performing credit markets globally)among the best performing credit markets globally).Navigating market volatility with careful name selectionwill separate the winners and the losers.

Valuations remain supportive. Credit may look lessappealing from a yield perspective but the value is in thespread. Long term IG investors are adequatelycompensated for average default risk but perhaps less

f HY A i i ff i dso for HY. Asia continues to offer an attractive spreadpick-up relative to the US.

In terms of key views: Philippines’ CDS offers bettervalue than bonds and we prefer Indonesia overPhilippines. We prefer Sri Lanka over Vietnam. In IG webuy BBBs but prefer shorter-dated paper. We likeChinese consumer and gas and also see relative value inIndia. We turn more neutral on China property mainlygiven valuation and monetary policy expectation. Stayinvested in high-beta property credits for early 2013 togain carry, but we would turn more defensive should thesector yield dip under 8%. We prefer cement names inIndustrials and have a Credit Hold on most IndonesiaCoal names.

As we compute into 2013, it is appropriate to lookback to 2012 during which stock pickers expressedpreferences by focusing on classic stockcharacteristics. As such, momentum and short termreversal factors were among the best factors in2012, as well as value factors including forwardearnings yield and sentiment factors such asearnings yield and sentiment factors such asearnings diffusion. Perhaps most astonishing andremarkable was the emphasis on high yieldingstocks. As we head into 2013, the environmentremains benign, at least according to the VarianceRisk Premium, stock dispersion and the marketvaluation that we are unable to explain viasystematic drivers. According to our multi-factor

l i d l k i I di d I d i dvaluation model, stocks in India and Indonesia, andin the defensive and consumer cyclical sectorscommand a premium, whereas stocks in Singaporeand Hong Kong, and in real Estate and resources arevalued at a discount. Relative to history, Hong Kongand technology stocks look “cheaper”, whereasstocks in the Philippines and defensives as well asstocks with higher turnover look “more expensive”.A positive scenario in which market liquidityimproves could lead to Chinese multiples expandingrelative to the rest of Asia.

Australia

The Outlooke Out oo

As we say g'day to 2013 we hold a positivemedium-term outlook for Australian equities. Themacro backdrop has been plagued by uncertaintyand Australian equities' performance has beenamongst the worst in history. We expect somedegree of mean reversion in 2013 rather than acontinuation of such extremes Equities should becontinuation of such extremes. Equities should besupported by a gradual rise in earnings frombelow-trend levels, cheap valuations (in PE termsand vs bonds), low gearing vs history and areduction of investors' U/W positioning (equityexposure is at 15 year lows). We also expect theglobal policy uncertainty that impacted markets in2012 to ease in the year ahead. Further, a gradual

i k i Chi h h ld b b fi i l fpick-up in Chinese growth should be beneficial forthe Australian resources sector. And on thedomestic front, recent interest rate cuts shouldassist earnings in the year ahead. In short, we lookfor a solid 10% total return for the Australianmarket in 2013. We prefer exposure to ENERGY,HOUSING and INSURANCE.

China

Xin Nian Kuai Le from our China team who expect agood year ahead. Jun expects GDP growth toaccelerate to 8.5% in 2H13 from 8.0% in 1H13 &7.6% in 2H12 driven by corporate & infrastructureinvestment and a rebound in export growth in2H13. Valuations look supportive (fwd P/E of 10.3x)and we see 15% upside to MSCI China Key 2013and we see 15% upside to MSCI-China. Key 2013investment themes include: 1) growth recovery:cement, construction, infrastructure machinery, andshipping companies will likely outperform, as therecovery will be led mainly by investment andexports; 2) resource pricing reform: power, gas,water and oil refineries will be the mainbeneficiaries; 3) VAT reform, social spending, and

b i i h l h d i ill jurbanization: health care and construction will enjoythe resulting upside potential; 4) NPL cycle: banksmay continue to underperform for 1H13 given thatthe NPL ratio will likely rise further until Q3; 5)capacity rationalization: coal and steel will likelyunderperform cement due to slower pace ofcapacity rationalization; and 6) anti-corruption:Macau VIP gaming, watches, gift card sales at

Hong Kong

The Outlooke Out oo

We expect limited upside to the MSCI-HK index in2013. HK GDP growth should stage a mildrecovery in 2013 to 2.5% from 1.3% in 2012 drivenlargely by the modest improvement in externaldemand from the G2 and China which shouldreduce the credit risk facing the banking systemand support steady growth in bank lendingand support steady growth in bank lending.Financials should also benefit from furtherprogress in China’s capital account liberalizationand the internationalization of the RMB. However,we believe property prices will be underdownward pressure due to a stronger governmentcommitment to increase land supply and controlspeculative demand.

Overall, we believe the HK equity market hasalready priced in a normalization of growth (theforward PE of MSCI-HK is on par with its historicalaverage) while HK and global growth in 2013 willlikely remain somewhat below potential. As aresult, we only expect a modest upside (8%) toMSCI HK, in line with our bottoms-up forecast on2013e EPS growth. By sector, we like BANKS (egBOC HK) and select CONGLOMERATES withsignificant trade exposure (eg HUTCHISON). Webelieve DEVELOPERS will underperform.

Nav Varsh ki Shubh Kaamnayein from Abhay & teamwho believe the Indian equity market is well poisedto benefit from an imminent rate cut cycle, expectedimplementation of reform measures, a bottoming outof economic growth by 1Q, reasonable valuations (inline with LT average) and a likely more favorableglobal risk appetite for equitiesglobal risk appetite for equities.

There are already recent positive signs regardinggrowth with the latest IIP reading at 8.2% (vs. avg of0.1% in preceding 6 months) and we believestronger capex/approvals in 2013 will layfoundations for a more structural and pronouncedgrowth recovery. Additionally, while the governmenth d t h ff th b b f lihas managed to shrug off the bugbear of policyparalysis, it now has to follow up on the reformannouncements with concrete implementation. Weexpect to see faster approvals flowing in fromCabinet Committee on Investment by 1H13 andfurther fuel price hikes.

We suggest overweight on Banks, Industrials andselect Consumption names. In terms of stocks, welike AXIS BANK, ICICI BANK, L&T, ULTRATECH andITC.

Indonesia

The Outlooke Out oo

Selamat tahun baru from Heri, Raymond and therest of our team in Indonesia. We believe there aretwo macro scenarios to decide on before taking aview on stocks. The first suggests the economy hasgrown beyond its means, hence unpleasantadjustments are needed which would likely benegative for equities The second suggests thenegative for equities. The second suggests theeconomy has evolved from being consumption-driven to investment-driven, paving the way for avirtuous growth cycle (as investment-driven growthshould trigger job growth, pushing up discretionaryspending which in turn is likely to lure investmentfor ‘new’ demand). JCI’s first markedunderperformance in a decade underlines the

k i i S ill h ld h i iconsensus skepticism. Still, we hold the minorityview of a virtuous growth cycle.

We do not see inflation as a significant downsiderisk nor do we view a fuel price hike as likely andpolicy interest rates are likely to be stable. We arehowever concerned by potential for rupiahweakness. Overall, we expect macro concerns toweigh on stock performance near term butconcerns should ease over the course of the yearand we have a 12-month index target of 5,000.Near term, we would pay up for defensive growthstocks that are less exposed to IDR weakness,regulatory risk and rising competition. Top largecap picks are: BBCA, BMRI, SMGR, GGRM andCPIN. In the mid/small cap space we like BBTN,

As we say apa khabar to 2013, we highlight thatthe key event for Malaysia in 2013 will be thegeneral election which has to be called before 28April and held by 27 June. This may be anoverhang on near-term market performance (infact, the potential for political change may havecontributed to Malaysia’s relatively lacklustre 2012contributed to Malaysia s relatively lacklustre 2012performance). We believe that over the near-term,investors will continue to stay in defensive namesto take shelter from pre-election volatility but on a12 month basis, our highest conviction ideas are:TENAGA (expected to re-rate on lower fuel costsas well as government restructuring initiatives);GAMUDA (on good prospects for new raili f d i ) GENTING MALAYSIAinfrastructure order wins); GENTING MALAYSIA(on expected positive news-flow regarding its USexpansion efforts); and RHB CAPITAL (relativelyunloved but improving CASA deposit trends andcapital adequacy ratios likely to be re-ratingcatalysts).

As we say mabuhay to 2013, the macro backdropfor Philippine companies remains extraordinarilyrobust. One can argue, in fact, that current macroconditions (current account, inflation, interestrates, government debt, etc) are better than theyhave ever been in the past two decades (bettereven than the roaring nineties) A global (oreven than the roaring nineties). A global (orregional) recovery, should it happen, will only addto the positive momentum. Having said that, thePhilippines is hardly an "undiscovered" marketanymore (up +33% in 2012 in local currencyterms after being the best performer in the regionover the last two years). The broad market PERmultiple (17x for 2013) is near historic highs andh h dl b i l f W b li hthere are hardly any bargains left. We believe the

key investment themes for 2013 will be (1) theMay elections and (2) the government’sinfrastructure program. Within the market, welike ALLIANCE GLOBAL (election spendingboost), MERALCO (power demand linked toGDP), METRO PACIFIC (infrastructure + Meralcostake) and SECURITY BANK (highest ROE bank +

As we sing into 2013, resilient domestic growthdrivers should underpin the economy despite aweakening external environment – we expect3.0% GDP growth.

In light of relativevaluations, expectations of firmer capital valuesand an improving physical market, we shifted ourpreferences within the property sector fromREITs to developers. We like CAPITALAND andKEPPEL LAND, while within the REITS we preferAREIT f i d l bili El hAREIT for its development capability. Elsewhere,continued order wins and rising commodityprices should support the O&M sector(SEMBCORP INDUSTRIES & KEPPEL CORP)especially as recent margin contractions havebeen priced in. We also like OCBC for its sector-leading credit quality. Finally, strong balancesheets could continue to support strong

As we say sawatdee to 2013, we see furtherupside to the Thai market with y/e SET target1,450 driven by sustained capital liquidity, mid-single-digit GDP growth a more stable politicalenvironment and attractive valuations versusASEAN peers. Banks offer the most target priceupside and the investment cycle strength shouldupside and the investment cycle strength shouldsustain double-digit loan growth in 2013.Furthermore, the loan pricing environmentremains favorable, LDR pressures are reducedfollowing aggressive 2H12 deposit intakes, themargin outlook is favourable and valuations arecompelling. Peach likes KBANK, KTB and BAY.The petrochemical sector offers upside potentialf b il i d f bl GRMfrom buoyant oil prices and favorable GRMoutlook, while current Consensus expectationsare, in our view, too bearish. We prefer TOP andSCC. We also view the telco sector as attractivewith subscriber migration from high-revenue-share legacy concessions to low-revenue-shareperpetual licenses set to commence in 2013.Our preferred telco is ADVANC. We are moreselective in the commerce sector on stretchedvaluations and a higher risk of earnings missesbut within the sector we like CPALL, ROBINSand CPN for structural upcountry growthpotential and lower vulnerability to competition.

Autos

The Outlooke Out oo

Driving into 2013, Vincent expects a mild recoveryin Chinese auto demand given an improvingmacro backdrop. We still expect the luxurysegment to outperform in growth and our topOEM preference is BRILLIANCE, supported by aramp-up in BMW 3-series sales and increasingengine local production Our top dealership pick isengine local production. Our top dealership pick isBAOXIN which should benefit from the integrationof newly acquired dealers in Northern China.

In Korea, after the 3% decline in domestic sales in2012e, Sanjeev expects a recovery to 1% growthin 2013e driven by replacement demand and newmodel launches. We expect imports to continue to

We expect HyundaiMotor’s global sales volume to grow 7-8% andthat of Kia Motors to grow 3-4% in 2013. Our toppick is HYUNDAI MOTOR.

Srini believes investors need to be selective intheir 2013e India picks as Indian auto stocks aretrading at the higher end of their valuation bandsand our preferences are driven by salesmomentum and margin resilience.

Banks

The Outlooke Out oo

A strong year of performance for Asian banks is in thevault - the sector delivered a 2012 absolute return ofalmost 25%. Policy-induced liquidity benefited both thelarge cap yield plays (post the LTRO) and growthstocks, namely India and Thailand banks and Chinainsurers after the announcement of QE3, leading to thenormalization of valuations We also saw a generalnormalization of valuations. We also saw a generalunderperformance of Chinese banks vs. insurers due inlarge part to the impact of slowing deposit growth inChina and interest rate deregulation.

From Dec 2012, the Chinese bank stocks have beensupported by a recovery in China GDP, a trend that weexpect to continue into 1Q 2013. With stock prices of

h A i b k i d b fi f i dother Asian banks poised to benefit from continuedimprovement in the US housing market and theunwinding of the yen trade in favor of more riskyassets, we are positive on banks in Australia,Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and India, with thelatter three markets expected to deliver high doubledigit profit growth in FY13.

Shopping for returns in the HK/China consumer sectoris likely to be easier in 2H13 than 1H13. Chinaconsumption should improve in 2013 on: 1) Ongoingurbanization and development of the middle-incomeclass; 2) wealth effect (better A-shr market outlook andrelatively stable property market); and 3) policy supportpost the 18th Party Congress DISCRETIONARY shouldpost the 18th Party Congress. DISCRETIONARY shouldperform better than STAPLES with better sales growthand more attractive valuations. HK faces morechallenges given high rentals and low income growth,although we also expect conditions to improve by2H13. We prefer CTF, LI & FUNG and HENGAN. InKorea, Jihyun expects a gradual 2013 consumptionrecovery given government initiatives to boostd i d d d d h f h S ldomestic demand and due to the recovery of the Seoulproperty market (helping the middle-income class). Weprefer HDS given its organic growth potential(offsetting a softer macro environment in 1H).

Gaming

The Outlooke Out oo

Showing our cards for 2013 - we prefer Macau toSingapore and Malaysia gaming stocks given a bettergrowth outlook and more attractive valuations.

Karen expects Macau gaming revenue to grow 11% in2013, driven by 25% mass revenue growth (5% VIPrevenue growth) Karen's top picks in Macau arerevenue growth). Karen s top picks in Macau areGALAXY, MELCO CROWN & WYNN MACAU. Theopening of Zhuhai South Station in 1Q13 should boostvisitor arrivals to Macau, and the casinos that focus onraising minimum bet sizes (such as Galaxy and MelcoCrown) should lift table yield (revenue per table).Galaxy and Melco Crown are trading at 0.8x and 0.7xPEG, which seems undemanding for a growth sector.

For Singapore, Aun-Ling expects gaming revenue toturn from negative growth in 2012 to 3% growth in2013, due to a bottoming out in the VIP segment in4Q12. That said, at current valuations the upsidepotential for Genting Singapore and Genting Bhd lookslimited and we maintain Hold ratings. Aun-Ling prefersGENTING MALAYSIA (Buy) given an undemandingvaluation and given expected positive catalysts in 2013including the General Election (which should removean overhang) and accelerating US gamingliberalization. And in the Philippines, our preferredgaming stock is BELLE on valuation, new partnershipand forthcoming new casino opening.

Healthcare

The Outlooke Out oo

Our 2013 prognosis for China’s healthcare market ishealthy. We are forecasting significant revenuegrowth across both the drug and device sectors,with the drug sector to grow relatively faster. Theoverall sector is expected to benefit from ongoingend-user demand growth, higher drugreimbursement funding and some potentialreimbursement funding and some potentialconsolidation. Policy pressures are an ever-presentrisk (especially on the drug sector and high-endmedical consumables) but we believe most 2013policy risks are manageable. Our preferred pickswithin the sector are SHINEWAY (as the successfulturnaround in its operations / performance shoulddrive a re-rating), SINO BIOPHARM and MINDRAY( i h i l)(on organic growth potential).

We recommendinvestors adopt a trading approach assubstantial downside looks limited and anysubstantial downside looks limited and anypositive newsflow on orders/pricing after along lull could easily result in a valuation meanreversal. Sanjeev likes HYUNDAI HEAVY in theshort term due to expected new orders, marginrecovery and the IPO of Hyundai Oilbank. Inthe longer term, however, he prefersSAMSUNG HEAVY due to its competitivenessi ff h W i i iin offshore structures. We remain positive onSingapore’s Offshore & Marine sector in 2013due to the industry strength and fundamentals.Recent comments from the offshore drillerssuggest continued optimism with strongdemand and firm day rates. Within the sector,however, Kevin’s preference is for KEPPELCORP, especially as their near-marketcustomer strategy appears to be paying off.

Esther and team wish you a happy and especiallysafe New Year.

We prefer PING ANand NEW CHINA LIFE given their relatively highleverage to equity markets and attractivevaluations.

W i i h I di iWe are positive on the Indian insurance sectorgiven a more favorable regulatory environmentand the government's renewed push to raiseinsurance penetration. In addition, new andimproved product offerings should also help toboost penetration levels. Manish likes both MAXINDIA and RELIANCE CAPITAL.

Pandora is relatively cautious on Taiwaneseinsurers as she expects interest rates to remainflat in 2013 and believes the negative spreadissue will continue to be a drag. For investorsseeking exposure to Taiwan, she prefers FUBON(although Hold rated) for its improving productmix, diversified earnings stream and well-thought-out China strategy.

We are thereforemore focused on internet names with a higherproportion of revenues and profits from non-advertising sources, especially online gaming.Our sector top picks in China are TENCENT andSOUFUN (for reference, SOUFUN’s robustperformance is driven by campaign ad spendrather than online brand advertising).

As we dig into 2013, we remain cautious on thesector in China especially as the ongoing economicstructural changes and relatively high inventorylevels across non-ferrous metals and thermal coalraise further price downside risks. Our Chinapreferences are therefore driven by demand/supplyassessments as well as potential for capacityassessments as well as potential for capacityrationalisation. We like the cement (Eastern China)and coking coal sectors most and our top picks areFUSHAN, CNBM and SHENHUA. In India, we areselective on the cement sector but expectaccelerating growth by 2HFY14 and prefer nameswith exposure to west & north India –Chockalingam’s top picks are ULTRATECH &SHREE W l i i I di ’ lSHREE. We are also positive on India’s steel sectorand Abhay recommends SAIL and TATA STEEL.Elsewhere, we prefer the Indonesian coal sector overboth China and India peers with VALE INDONESIAbeing Cherie’s top pick in Indonesian coal.

Deutsche Bank makes no representation as to the accuracy or completeness of such information.Deutsche Bank may engage in securities transactions, on a proprietary basis or otherwise, in a manner inconsistent with the view taken in this research report. In addition, others within Deutsche Bank, including strategistsand sales staff, may take a view that is inconsistent with that taken in this research report.Opinions, estimates and projections in this report constitute the current judgement of the author as of the date of this report. They do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Deutsche Bank and are subject to change withoutnotice. Deutsche Bank has no obligation to update, modify or amend this report or to otherwise notify a recipient thereof in the event that any opinion, forecast or estimate set forth herein, changes or subsequently becomesinaccurate. Prices and availability of financial instruments are subject to change without notice. This report is provided for informational purposes only. It is not an offer or a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell any financialy j g p p p p y y yinstruments or to participate in any particular trading strategy. Target prices are inherently imprecise and a product of the analyst judgement.As a result of Deutsche Bank’s March 2010 acquisition of BHF-Bank AG, a security may be covered by more than one analyst within the Deutsche Bank group. Each of these analysts may use differing methodologies tovalue the security; as a result, the recommendations may differ and the price targets and estimates of each may vary widely.In August 2009, Deutsche Bank instituted a new policy whereby analysts may choose not to set or maintain a target price of certain issuers under coverage with a Hold rating. In particular, this will typically occur for "Hold"rated stocks having a market cap smaller than most other companies in its sector or region.
