East or west side in Taiwan? Getting out and meeting companies face-to-face is the part of the job that the abrdn Asia Focus team enjoys the most. One of the great benefits of investing lower down the market cap, is the level of corporate access the team get. There is far less information available on smaller companies, so visiting them on their home turf is key to being successful within this asset class. One of our team members just returned from Taiwan and was fascinated to discover just how mountainous the east side of the island is. Over 90% of Taiwan’s population lives on the west side, which is connected by several large motorways and the bullet train. This certainly made things easier when visiting 19 new companies and three current holdings. Capital at risk. #AAS #Ontheroad
