Chinese markets bounced back strongly in April: +8.54% for the Hang Seng and +3.20% for the CSI 300 continental index. China had published some encouraging economic data including the Caixin manufacturing index, which stood in expansionary territory at 51.4.The global economy’s resilience helped China to post above-forecast Q1 GDP growth (+5.3% vs 5%) and export growth (+1.5% vs +1%) too. As far as geopolitical tensions go, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken’s recent visit illustrates an improvement in communications between the two countries.
Performance commentary
The Fund delivered a positive return in April. Our portfolio received a boost from its consumer discretionary stocks such as lifestyle brand MINISO, ebike manufacturer Yadea, Alibaba and Tal Education. DiDi’s share price rose too after the company announced that it would be speeding up its buyback programme in Q2 2024. However, we were somewhat disappointed with our technology stocks, as Daqo New Energy, Gold Circuit Electronics and MediaTek weighed on the Fund’s overall performance.
Outlook strategy
Despite short-term volatility and the structural challenges facing the economy, we still have an optimistic view of Chinese equity markets. We are seeing a slight improvement in certain economic indicators. Foreign demand is heading in the right direction too, and local government stimulus is starting to pay off. The economic transition towards industrial sectors (albeit at the expense of traditional growth-driving sectors such as real estate and the internet) is starting to have a positive effect on exports. However, China’s structural problems remain with domestic consumption barely moving, especially among the middle classes now that house prices have fallen and youth unemployment is high. Selectivity is essential. Our approach is centred around stock selection, with a particular focus on companies’ valuations and fundamentals. We feel sure that our approach, focused on a fundamental analysis and enterprise values, is the best way to generate positive long-term returns on Chinese markets. We remain convinced about the potential for China’s new economy, and in particular the secular trends that we are seeing in artificial intelligence, the green transition and healthcare. Moreover, Chinese authorities have reaffirmed their support for these industries in recent comments. Our portfolio is mostly positioned on companies that are leaders in their fields, and are generating high cash flows to sustain decent margins against the current backdrop of modest growth. We are also keeping significant exposure to Taiwan, mainly through companies along the semiconductor supply chain, which should benefit from the AI cycle. We strengthened our position in Taiwan Semiconductor and opened one in Lotes, which specialises in the design and manufacturing of precision electronic interconnect components and hardware such as CPU brackets.
