Market environment

  • Asian equity markets declined in October, as concerns around the scale of AI investment and growing Chinese competition weighed on technology-heavy markets. The high concentration of technology companies in several Asian benchmarks left them particularly exposed to this rotation, with Taiwan declining 8.4%.
  • The AI-related sell-off was a key driver, as global investors reassessed the returns on elevated AI capital expenditure. This triggered profit-taking and multiple compression across technology and semiconductor stocks following a period of strong performance.
  • In Taiwan, semiconductor and hardware stocks came under particular pressure. Concerns around elevated valuations and the pace of AI investment weighed on the sector, despite underlying demand for advanced computing and AI infrastructure remaining robust.
  • Investor attention remained focused on the sustainability of AI spending, particularly among major US technology companies, while growing Chinese competition added pressure across parts of the technology value chain. Despite the correction, underlying fundamentals and demand for advanced AI infrastructure remained resilient.

Performance commentary

  • Against this backdrop, the Fund delivered a negative performance and underperformed its reference indicator. Industrials and Information Technology were the main detractors, amid a broad correction across AI and semiconductor-related holdings.
  • In Taiwan, several of the Fund’s strongest performers in previous months experienced significant profit-taking. Delta Electronics and BizLink were the largest detractors, declining 30% and 37% respectively, with Delta additionally affected by weaker-than-expected profitability amid component shortages and inventory-related headwinds. TSMC proved comparatively more resilient, declining 5% over the month.
  • In mainland China, Shenzhen Han’s CNC Technology fell 46%, while CATL declined 18%, amid the broader rotation away from technology and AI-related names and continued concerns around competition, extending the weakness seen in September.
  • Healthcare also detracted, led by WuXi Biologics, which declined 19%. The stock corrected following a strong run, amid broader profit-taking across Chinese biotech and a sizeable shareholder placement, while underlying business fundamentals remained solid.
  • On the positive side, selected holdings proved more resilient, with Mao Geping Cosmetics, Anta Sports and AIA Group contributing positively, while KE Holdings also supported performance.

Outlook strategy

  • Despite a volatile backdrop, we remain constructive on Chinese and Taiwanese equities, while maintaining a selective approach and strict valuation discipline. Our investment thesis continues to be supported by attractive long-term growth opportunities across AI, advanced manufacturing, the energy transition and selected consumer services, while further policy support could provide a catalyst for the Chinese domestic economy.
  • Technology remains at the core of our convictions, while we continue to diversify both across the AI value chain and into high-quality domestic Chinese companies with strong cash generation and attractive shareholder returns.
  • We also see China’s accelerating investment in semiconductors as a multi-year structural opportunity. However, we prefer to capture this investment cycle through established Taiwanese companies across the semiconductor equipment value chain, rather than through recently listed Chinese memory manufacturers, favouring proven technologies, established business models and greater earnings visibility.
  • We remained active during the month, taking profits in some of our more resilient holdings. We reduced Lotes, which held up relatively well during the technology sell-off, and AIA Group following strong performance. Conversely, we added to WuXi Biologics, as we viewed the market reaction as excessive, and to Yageo, where strong AI-driven demand for passive components continues to support capacity utilisation and pricing power.
  • We also increased our position in New Oriental Education following its sharp correction in October, and Zijin Mining, while exiting All Ring Tech.
