Krungsri Asset Highlights Global Equity Growth with FX Upside

Krungsri Asset Management is offering KF-WORLD-INDFX Fund, providing investors with access to global equity markets through a single fund. The fund covers both developed and emerging markets, aiming to track the performance of the MSCI ACWI Index at a time when global equities continue to show growth potential. In addition, investors may benefit from foreign exchange movements under the fund’s unhedged currency policy. The IPO period is scheduled from 23 February – 4 March 2026, with a minimum investment of THB 500.

Mrs. Supaporn Leenabanchong, Managing Director of Krungsri Asset Management, stated, “The global economy continues to be supported by multiple growth drivers. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects global economic growth of 3.3% in 2026 and 3.2% in 2027. Meanwhile, global inflation is trending downward, and monetary policies in several countries are becoming more accommodative, which is positive for risk assets. Corporate earnings and revenues across many regions also continue to expand. However, investors should monitor key factors such as trade policies, geopolitical risks, and inflation volatility.”

"KF-WORLD-INDFX invests in the master fund, iShares MSCI ACWI ETF, which tracks the MSCI ACWI Index, a representative benchmark of global equity markets. The ETF is one of the leading global ETFs with assets exceeding USD 25 billion. It employs a passive investment strategy, focusing on large- and mid-cap stocks worldwide, with diversified exposure across more than 2,000 companies spanning multiple industries and regions. This diversification helps reduce concentration risk in any single sector. Moreover, the passive strategy offers relatively low costs, supporting efficient index tracking and long-term return potential."

"The iShares MSCI ACWI ETF is geographically diversified. While the largest allocation is currently in the United States, the fund also invests in Japan, Canada, the United Kingdom, China, and other countries. Sector-wise, the portfolio allocation comprises Information Technology (27%), Financials (18%), Industrials (11%), Consumer sectors (10%), and Health Care (9%) (Source: iShares, as of 30 Dec 2025).

“The MSCI ACWI Index has delivered average annual returns of 22.43%, 20.67%, and 11.19% over the past 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year periods, respectively. The master fund has consistently delivered performance in line with the index."

“KF-WORLD-INDFX is therefore suitable for investors seeking portfolio diversification and long-term growth aligned with global equity market expansion, along with the opportunity to enhance returns from exchange rate movements, provided they are able to tolerate currency volatility,” Ms. Supaporn added.
