Market environment

  • Chinese equity markets delivered mixed performance in June. Mainland Chinese equities (CSI 300) gained 3.6%, while Hong Kong equities (Hang Seng) declined 7.8%. Over the same period, the Taiwanese equity market advanced 4.2%.
  • Economic data released in China continue to point to a two-speed economy. Exports remain exceptionally strong (+19% year-on-year) and AI-related investment continues to attract capital. By contrast, domestic demand remains subdued. Retail sales declined by 0.6% year-on-year, credit demand from both households and corporates remains weak, and the property sector continues to struggle outside a handful of major cities.
  • The performance gap between mainland China and Hong Kong reflects this divergence. Mainland A-shares continue to benefit from policy support and capital flows directed towards semiconductors, optical networking and AI infrastructure. By contrast, the Hong Kong market, which is more heavily exposed to internet, electric vehicle and consumer-related stocks, continues to face much weaker earnings momentum.
  • Finally, Taiwanese equities continued to benefit from strong semiconductor demand from US hyperscalers, which are maintaining substantial investment in AI infrastructure.

Performance commentary

  • Against this backdrop, the fund delivered negative absolute and relative performance during the month, primarily reflecting adverse stock selection. Despite this weaker monthly performance, the fund continues to outperform its reference indicator on a year-to-date basis.
  • Performance was mainly impacted by our Taiwanese holdings. Universal Microwave Technology was among the largest detractors after reporting a 15% month-on-month decline in revenue, following a temporary suspension of shipments to a major customer due to product revisions. Although management indicated that the disruption would have no material impact on profitability, the announcement weighed on investor sentiment. Our positions in Delta Electronics and Lotes also detracted from performance during the month.
  • In China, Alibaba also weighed on returns as the stock came under pressure amid renewed regulatory and geopolitical concerns, exacerbated by allegations made by Anthropic regarding Alibaba's Qwen AI model.
  • These negative contributions were partly offset by the strong performances of Yageo, which continued to benefit from robust AI-driven demand for electronic components, and Shenzhen Kaifa Technology, supported by the announcement of an investment to expand its advanced memory (HBM) packaging and testing capabilities.

Outlook strategy

  • Over the medium term, despite an increasingly uncertain geopolitical environment, we remain constructive on both Chinese and Taiwanese equities. Our investment thesis continues to be supported by robust earnings growth, attractive valuations and strong technological momentum, particularly in industries related to energy transition and new technologies, as well as the experience economy. In addition, persistently weak domestic demand in China could prompt further policy support in the coming months.
  • Within the portfolio, we continue to favour companies best positioned to benefit from the next phase of China's and Taiwan's development. Our exposure is centred around two key themes: first, innovative companies with leading technologies and strong international expansion potential, particularly in AI, semiconductors, automation and advanced manufacturing; second, companies benefiting from ongoing capital market reforms in China, supported by strong cash generation and attractive shareholder return policies, notably through share buyback programmes.
  • Our highest-conviction holdings include CATL (energy transition and batteries), Horizon Robotics (autonomous driving and AI), Universal Microwave (low-Earth orbit satellite infrastructure), as well as several beneficiaries of the AI investment cycle, including Asia Vital Components, VNET, Shenzhen Han's CNC, Shenzhen Kaifa Technology and All Ring Technology.
  • During the month, we initiated two new positions. We invested in Hon Hai (Foxconn), the global leader in electronics manufacturing, which we expect to benefit from the continued expansion of AI server demand. We also initiated a position in BizLink, a leading provider of copper and optical connectivity solutions.
  • Conversely, we took partial profits in Shenzhen Kaifa Technology, Sinoma and Montage Technology following their strong share price performance. We also took advantage of market weakness to increase our positions in Asia Vital Components (AVC), Lotes and Hainan Drinda, where we continue to see attractive medium-term growth prospects.
