The Risks of Concentrated Stocks in Asia

“While concentrated stock positions can create substantial wealth, there is also a high probability of dramatic losses that have the potential to derail the financial future you had envisioned for you and your family.”

Inspired by Michael Cembalest’s The Agony & the Ecstasy 1 , the definitive study of the risks and rewards of concentrated stock positions, we have applied a similar analysis on major equity markets in Asia to broaden the scope of the research and test the hypotheses in an alternate geographical and economic context. Broadly, our findings corroborate the conclusions from the original study, and we believe the key takeaway for investors still hold true – “While concentrated stock positions can create substantial wealth, there is also a high probability of dramatic losses that have the potential to derail the financial future you had envisioned for you and your family.”

The story of concentrated wealth is particularly relevant in Asia. This region has more billionaires than any other part of the world 2 , and has continued to produce them at an astonishing pace over the past decade and even throughout the pandemic. Pioneering innovation in various sectors coupled with Asia’s vibrant economic fundamentals and capital markets have continued to sow opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors in the region. However, core to this story of competition and success is “creative destruction”, where new and innovative businesses disrupt or displace incumbents who once led their respective fields, creating both winners and losers. Both the positive and negative experiences of investors in those markets would be magnified by the level of concentration they have in specific companies or sectors. Furthermore, sector-level and broader macro risks are ever-present in this region – China’s recent regulatory push against technology companies and the myriad of macro risks inherent to emerging markets come to mind – adding more layers of complexity to managing concentration risk.

Today, investors are grappling with heightened market volatility amidst global concerns over persistent inflation, faltering growth and rapidly tightening monetary conditions – a stark departure from past years of stable macro conditions and easy money. 2022 has been one of the worst years for both equities and fixed income in decades, and the average stock in some U.S. indices is down 40-50% from peak levels, far worse than the index’s performance. 3 This experience is a stark reminder of the risks of concentration and the benefits of diversification.

Against this backdrop, we attempt to quantify the risks of concentrated stock positions, highlight several sector case studies, and summarize some of the broader macro risks which characterize the markets in the Asia region. When markets eventually recover from this episode, investors would do well to recall this experience and implement practical strategies to manage concentration risks, diversify sources of return and take steps towards achieving their goals.


Asia has a diverse set of economies and markets, each with unique nuances and histories. As an introduction, we focus on two of the leading exchanges in the Asia ex-Japan region, Hong Kong and Singapore. Borrowing the definition used in Agony, we see that a significant number of companies that were ever listed on those exchanges from 1992 to 2022 experienced “catastrophic loss” where the stock declined 70% or more from peak levels which is not recovered.

A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF COMPANIES EXPERIENCED LOSSES OR UNDERPERFORMED THE INDEX

% of companies listed from 1992-2022

Source: Bloomberg Finance L.P. Data is as of June 2022. “Catastrophic Loss” refers to where the stock declined 70% or more from peak levels which is not recovered. “Mega Winners” refer to stocks which outperformed by their respective indices by over 500% cumulatively. The indices for Hong Kong and Singapore are the Hang Seng Index and Straits Times Index, respectively. This analysis uses month-end price data and covers companies that were listed on these exchanges from December 1992 to June 2022, including those which underwent an IPO or were de-listed for various reasons during this time period.
This table shows an analysis of the companies on the Hong Kong and Singapore Exchanges which experienced losses or underperformed the index • Looking at Hong Kong, 66% experienced catastrophic loss, 73% had negative absolute returns, 76% had negative excess returns vs the index and 4% were “mega winners” • Looking at Singapore, 85% experienced catastrophic loss, 65% had negative absolute returns, 72% had negative excess returns vs the index and 3% were “mega winners”

Further borrowing from the approach used in Agony, we also consider another way to think about the risks of concentrated stock positions: “How often would a family have been better or worse off owning cash, or the relevant stock market’s index instead of the concentrated position?”

Around two-thirds of the time, a concentrated position in a single stock delivered negative absolute returns (which means it underperformed cash). Over 70% of the time, a concentrated position in a single stock underperformed a diversified position its respective main stock market index. The most successful companies did generate substantial wealth over the long run, but only less than 5% of stocks met the definition of “Mega Winners”, which means they outperformed their respective indices by over 500% cumulatively. We also conducted a similar analysis for other exchanges in the region, with broadly similar conclusions.

This table shows an analysis of the FTSE All-Share ex-Investment Trusts Index between 1986 and 2022. • For Australia, out of 3,754 stocks, 59% had a catastrophic loss, 66% had negative absolute returns, 73% had Negative Excess Returns Vs Index and 5% were “Mega winners” • For India, out of 2,867 stocks, 42% had a catastrophic loss, 42% had negative absolute returns, 67% had Negative Excess Returns Vs Index and 18% were “Mega winners” • For Hong Kong, out of 2,810 stocks, 66% had a catastrophic loss, 73% had negative absolute returns, 76% had Negative Excess Returns Vs Index and 4% were “Mega winners” • For Shenzhen, out of 2,787 stocks, 38% had a catastrophic loss, 43% had negative absolute returns, 70% had Negative Excess Returns Vs Index and 5% were “Mega winners” • For Shanghai, out of 2,238 stocks, 32% had a catastrophic loss, 46% had negative absolute returns, 63% had Negative Excess Returns Vs Index and 6% were “Mega winners” • For Malaysia, out of 1,537 stocks, 55% had a catastrophic loss, 62% had negative absolute returns, 69% had Negative Excess Returns Vs Index and 5% were “Mega winners” • For Taiwan, out of 1,206 stocks, 37% had a catastrophic loss, 46% had negative absolute returns, 74% had Negative Excess Returns Vs Index and 6% were “Mega winners” • For Singapore, out of 1,164 stocks, 85% had a catastrophic loss, 65% had negative absolute returns, 72% had Negative Excess Returns Vs Index and 3% were “Mega winners” • For Thailand, out of 1,102 stocks, 39% had a catastrophic loss, 55% had negative absolute returns, 64% had Negative Excess Returns Vs Index and 6% were “Mega winners” • For Indonesia, out of 923 stocks, 47% had a catastrophic loss, 53% had negative absolute returns, 75% had Negative Excess Returns Vs Index and 9% were “Mega winners” • For Philippines, out of 395 stocks, 55% had a catastrophic loss, 49% had negative absolute returns, 62% had Negative Excess Returns Vs Index and 10% were “Mega winners” • Summary: out of 20,783 stocks, 50% had a catastrophic loss, 55% had negative absolute returns, 70% had Negative Excess Returns Vs Index and 7% were “Mega winners”


While business-specific failures arising from shortcomings in management may seem obvious and inevitable in hindsight, many instances of failure may arise from sectoral, regulatory or macro factors that were outside of the management team’s control. As with Agony, this section contains a selection of notable business failures over past decades. We have grouped these case studies into three broad categories: sectoral shifts, regulatory and market uncertainties, and macroeconomic risks.

Conflicts of interest will arise whenever JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or any of its affiliates (together, “J.P. Morgan”) have an actual or perceived economic or other incentive in its management of our clients’ portfolios to act in a way that benefits J.P. Morgan. Conflicts will result, for example (to the extent the following activities are permitted in your account): (1) when J.P. Morgan invests in an investment product, such as a mutual fund, structured product, separately managed account or hedge fund issued or managed by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or an affiliate, such as J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.; (2) when a J.P. Morgan entity obtains services, including trade execution and trade clearing, from an affiliate; (3) when J.P. Morgan receives payment as a result of purchasing an investment product for a client’s account; or (4) when J.P. Morgan receives payment for providing services (including shareholder servicing, recordkeeping or custody) with respect to investment products purchased for a client’s portfolio. Other conflicts will result because of relationships that J.P. Morgan has with other clients or when J.P. Morgan acts for its own account.

Investment strategies are selected from both J.P. Morgan and third-party asset managers and are subject to a review process by our manager research teams. From this pool of strategies, our portfolio construction teams select those strategies we believe fit our asset allocation goals and forward-looking views in order to meet the portfolio's investment objective.

As a general matter, we prefer J.P. Morgan managed strategies. We expect the proportion of J.P. Morgan managed strategies will be high (in fact, up to 100 percent) in strategies such as, for example, cash and high-quality fixed income, subject to applicable law and any account-specific considerations.

While our internally managed strategies generally align well with our forward-looking views, and we are familiar with the investment processes as well as the risk and compliance philosophy of the firm, it is important to note that J.P. Morgan receives more overall fees when internally managed strategies are included. We offer the option of choosing to exclude J.P. Morgan managed strategies (other than cash and liquidity products) in certain portfolios.
