Unfortunately, Malaysian banks fell below the benchmark when it came to short-mid term performances for the look-ahead to 2018.

Hence to have an outperforming portfolio, it may be more prudent to overweight on US Banks for investors in Malaysia even though Malaysian banks and US banks are on uptrend.
