Our fund net asset value (in Asia) remains negative from beginning of 2008 as we have lost out on fall in shares and also weakening Asian currencies,” he says. Adds, “As long as the US financial sector crisis stays, stock markets are likely to stay weak.” Sensex down 0.9% at 13,396.36, 37% off all time high of 21,206.77 on January 10, 2008.
