MANAGER’S REPORT

Market Comments

Asian equity markets rallied with the rest of the world from the start of the year on optimism over a global recovery driven from the roll-out of COVID-19 vaccinations worldwide and continued signs of economic improvement. Chinese equities led at the start of the year boosted by strong economic data but concerns over high valuations, prospects of policy tightening and continued US-China tensions dampened sentiment. As we moved into the second quarter, equity markets experienced bouts of volatility on speculation of interest rate changes driven from inflationary pressures leading to the US Federal Reserves’ unexpectedly hawkish comments in June when it indicated that it could start to raise interest rates sooner than expected – albeit only in 2023. The indicated timeframe reassured investors so that equity markets recovered strongly. Further adding pressure to shares were from rising new COVID-19 infections and concerns of new variants within the region. Against this backdrop the benchmark MSCI AC Far East ex Japan rose 5.8% in USD terms over the first half of the year.

Portfolio Comments

The portfolio strongly outperformed its benchmark index gross of fees and expenses over the first half of the year. The portfolio’s valuation bias towards companies with the cheapest book assets was rewarded driven from the strong rotation towards the value factor at the start of the year. Also contributing positively was the portfolio’s tilt towards smaller companies as it was these companies that bettered their larger benchmark names over this period.

Industry-wise the overweight towards banks proved beneficial as the financials sector recovered strongly at the start of the year. Also accretive to returns was the overweight to liquor stocks with top stock picks coming from above-benchmark positions in Chinese wine manufacturer, Shanxi Xinghuacun Fen Wine Factory. Offsetting to some extent were underweights towards textiles and metals industries which outperformed due to the sensitivity of these industries to the economic cycle and the latter from rising commodity prices.

Stock selection in aggregate was also additive to excess returns, the largest individual stock contributor was from holding above-benchmark in Xinyi Glass. The company saw price rise on the back of rising demand for its glass driven from increased demand for cars particularly electric vehicles. Indeed, the above benchmark position in car manufacturer KIA also featured among the top stock picks.
