Chinese Equity
Our philosophy
Our investment process for the Chinese Equity strategy focuses on bottom-up fundamental research within a quality growth framework. We aim to invest in companies that trade at a reasonable price and provide high-quality growth, believing that if the growth is sustainable, their stocks should deliver returns in line with or beyond their earnings growth and potentially outperform the market throughout business cycles.
Our process
- The strategy employs a disciplined and repeatable investment process. Bottom-up selected quality growth stocks are structurally classified into three growth categories depending on their stage of development, namely compounders, accelerators and turnarounds
- We have a macro overlay with a flexible approach to sector, style, cash level, China A-shares’ weighting allocation and non-benchmark selections, which enables us to adapt to the unique nature of the Chinese equity market and navigate different market cycles
- Our robust risk management process potentially optimises returns in volatile markets while maintaining diversification

The value of investments and any income from them can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. The value of the underlying assets is strongly affected by interest rate fluctuations and by changes in the credit ratings of the underlying issuer of the assets.
