Quality focus
We have been investing in Chinese equities since 1992. Our stable, experienced on-the-ground team combines local insights with fundamental research. In doing so, the team aims to target and invest in high-quality, well-governed companies with strong balance sheets and clear competitive advantages. We also fully integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) analysis in our investment process and actively engage managements to improve corporate performance.
-
High conviction portfolios
Through active stock selection, we build concentrated portfolios that tend to deviate significantly from the MSCI China A Onshore Index and have low correlation to global markets. Careful construction and rigorous risk management mean our portfolios are well equipped to provide resilience during periods of market stress. Our active approach also affords us flexibility to react quickly to investment opportunities when markets are volatile and dispersions increase.

Structural growth opportunities
Our A-Share portfolios reflect the long-terms structural growth themes wee see in China amid continued urbanisation and a rising middle class. We therefore anticipate increasing domestic demand for high-end food wealth management. In addition, there are areas experiencing increased demand amid changing work patterns and online activity due to Covid-19. These include cloud computing, gaming and food delivery.
Our ESG approach to equity investing
We believe that environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors are financially material and can impact a company’s performance – either positively or negatively. Understanding ESG risks and opportunities, alongside other financial metrics, is therefore an intrinsic part of our research process.
We actively engage with the companies in which we invest, sharing insights and encouraging best practice where possible. We combine information from these meetings with the insights of our investment managers, ESG equity analysts and central ESG Investment team. This comprehensive approach means we can build a richer, more holistic view of each company. It also means we can consistently evaluate one company against another.
This approach is all part of our responsible stewardship of our clients’ assets – helping us mitigate risks, unlock opportunities and enhance long-term returns.
