Market environment

  • This month, Chinese markets rose (Hang Seng +4.3%, CSI 300 +2.9%), in line with the main emerging market indices.
  • After a very turbulent April due to Donald Trump's tariffs, the US president held numerous talks with his trading partners, revised certain tariffs downwards and/or postponed them, leading to a rebound in the markets.

  • In China, economic indicators declined, with the Caixin manufacturing PMI coming in at 50.4 for April and the services PMI at 50.7.

  • On the consumption front, retail sales slowed in April, falling from +5.9% to +5.1%.

Performance commentary

  • The fund posted an excellent performance this month, significantly outperforming its reference indicator.
  • Our portfolio of Taiwanese technology stocks benefited greatly from the strategy. In this regard, we can mention TSMC, Elite Material, and Wiwynn.

  • In China, consumer discretionary stocks such as Tencent and Gaotu Techedu also saw their share prices rise over the period.

Outlook strategy

  • We remain constructive on China, given the shift in perception. Markets recognize that geopolitical tensions are hurting China but will not bring it to its knees.
  • Furthermore, technological advances, particularly in AI and productivity, should provide further stimulus to the economy.

  • However, in the short term, we are maintaining a cautious stance due to uncertainties surrounding the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, their impact on the Chinese economy and uncertainties surrounding government support measures. In response to US protectionist measures, the Chinese government appears determined to protect its interests and implement restrictive measures in retaliation for the tariff sanctions.

  • At present, although the Chinese government's announcements do not appear sufficient in themselves to revive the country's economy, this is a major turning point, as President Xi Jinping has shown that he now places Chinese consumers, innovation and technological progress at the heart of his priorities.

  • We are closely monitoring each of our Chinese positions and their valuation, with the aim of remaining disciplined in the calibration of our positions. Over the month, we reduced our position in Tuya and increased our exposure to Contemporary Amperex.
