South Korea was the top performer in 2020 with a return of over 45%. The boom in the tech sector particularly the chip industry boosted the Korean market. The next best returns came from Taiwan, another country with a leadership position in chip and tech manufacturing. Despite highly dependent on commodity prices especially crude oil, the Russia market lost just over 11% as crude recovered strongly later in the year.
