Investors hungry for higher returns are homing in on the fast-growing economies of Southeast Asia.

渴求更高回报的投资者瞄准了东南亚的高增长经济体。

In particular, they are focusing on the Philippines and Thailand, where stock-market gains have outpaced the rest of Asia this year. The Philippines' benchmark stock index is up 29.8%, and Thailand's is up 30%, compared with a 13.1% increase through Friday in the MSCI Asia ex-Japan index, an Asia-wide benchmark.

他们尤其关注菲律宾和泰国。今年这两个国家的股市涨幅超过亚洲其他国家。菲律宾基准股指上涨29.8%，泰国上涨30%。相比之下，反映全亚洲股市状况的基准股指摩根士丹利资本国际亚洲（除日本）指数(MSCI Asia ex-Japan)截至上周五仅上涨13.1%。

The attraction is Southeast Asia's expanding economy and rising middle class. That is likely to continue to propel stocks in the region higher next year, said David Gaud, senior portfolio manager at Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management in Hong Kong, which manages $1.5 billion in Asia and has most of its Southeast Asian investments in Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand.

吸引他们的地方在于东南亚的经济增长及其中产阶级的兴起。香港资产管理公司Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management基金经理高德(David Gaud)说，这些因素有望推动该地区股市明年继续走高。高德的公司在亚洲管理着15亿美元的资产，大部分东南亚投资都是在印度尼西亚、菲律宾和泰国。
