The Edge Financial Daily's picks are based on some of the investment themes that fund managers are exploring in 2018. These themes include the turnaround of the badly hit oil and gas industry where many companies' share prices have tumbled to all-time lows; better corporate earnings growth amid a synchronised global economy recovery; interest rate hikes globally; and a strengthening ringgit. Meanwhile, the e-commerce boom that leads to stronger demand for logistic services and improved consumer sentiments that will boost private consumption could also be the buying impetus that drives investors' interests. We did not make a selection based on the 14th general election theme as most research house have said the market could return to fundamentals after the election.
