Market environment

  • In August, Chinese markets were mixed: H-shares (Hong Kong-listed equities) rose, while A-shares (domestic Chinese equities listed in Shanghai and Shenzhen) fell.

  • The Hong Kong market benefited from the easing of fears over the US elections, with Kamala Harris advancing in the polls.

  • China's domestic markets suffered from the publication of declining macro-economic indicators, with manufacturing PMI Manufacturing index in contraction territory and subdued new bank loans data, underlining weak demand.

  • Rising trade tensions between Brussels and Beijing didn't help either, with Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers seeing their export tariffs to the EU rise compared to those imposed on Tesla's Chinese-made vehicles.

  • Finally, the Chinese yuan rose over the month, benefiting from the unwinding of carry trades.

Performance commentary

  • Against this backdrop, the fund delivered a negative performance over the period, as did its reference indicator.
  • Our strong conviction EHang, a company that develops mobility solutions using ‘flying taxis’, appreciated strongly over the month. The company announced a 920% year-on-year increase in revenues to over 102 million yuan ($14 million).
  • Nevertheless, we were disappointed by our consumer discretionary companies, such as Tal Education, VIPSHOP and Tencent Music.

Outlook strategy

  • The weakness of the Chinese markets is creating new investment opportunities with attractive valuations.

  • We remain convinced of the potential of the new Chinese and Taiwanese economies, and in particular of the secular trends we are seeing in artificial intelligence, the ecological transition and healthcare.

  • We are convinced that our approach, which focuses on fundamental analysis and company valuations, is the best way to generate positive long-term returns in the Chinese markets.

  • Following the correction in Pinduoduo's share price, which reported results that were below investors' expectations, we initiated a new position on the stock.
