  • Do Fund Managers Identify and Share Profitable Ideas?1
    Do Fund Managers Identify and Share Profitable Ideas?1 by Wesley R. Gray2 and Andrew E. Kern3 ABSTRACT We study data from an organization where fundamentals-based fund managers privately share investment ideas. Evidence suggests the professional investors in our sample have stock-picking skills. A strategy of going long (short) buy (sell) recommendations earns monthly calendar-time abnormal returns of 1.38% (- 2.91%) over the January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2008 sample period. Interestingly, these skilled investors share their profitable ideas. We test predictions from private information sharing theories and determine that our sample investors share ideas to receive constructive feedback, gain access to a broader set of actionable ideas, and to attract additional arbitrager capital to their asset market.

  • The Competitive Landscape for E-Commerce in China
    The Competitive Landscape for E-Commerce in China 1 2 0 2 , H T 4 1 L I Jeff Towson - Peking University R P A April 14th, 2021 The Competitive Landscape for E-Commerce in China Alibaba paved the way for the e-commerce revolution that has taken China by storm. Today, China is the largest e-commerce market in the world. Roughly 50% of global online transactions occur within China. To truly understand the Chinese competitive e-commerce landscape, we need to look into the consumer trends, the characteristics of the Chinese consumer, the Chinese marketplace, and the growth of internet users and fintech. Joining us for a discussion on the Chinese E-commerce competitive landscape Jeff Towson— Keynote Speaker on Digital China and Asia, Head of Research at Asia Tech Strategy US-China Series has been blessed to have leading authorities on many segments of the Chinese economy, but I struggle to find another with Jeff’s knowledge of e-commerce and the digital landscape. His understanding of companies such as JD, Alibaba, and Pinduodou was exceptional, and our deep dive into these companies and their ecosystem provided insights into not only the prevailing competitive landscape but where the industry is likely headed in the years to come. Chinese e-commerce has merged content, commerce, and social media into one platform. Traditional retailers like Walmart pitch themselves as places where one would buy what they need with extensive selections to choose from, and many e-commerce retailers have followed this model. In contrast, the shopping mall represents a different retail experience: one may go there for fun with friends and experience different things.

  • Lessons from Chinese Platforms
    LESSONS FROM CHINESE PLATFORMS What other companies can learn from the China platforms’ response to COVID-19 Covid-19: What to do Now, What to do Next NOW NEXT Where we are now Compared with the rest of the world, China is months ahead in dealing with COVID-19. The first identified case of the disease has been traced to Hubei Province, where it was recorded on 17 November 2019.1 Since then, more than 1.2 million cases have been reported worldwide2, with many more expected. COVID-19 has affected communities and industries across the globe. And it continues to evolve with unprecedented speed and reach. Lives and livelihoods depend upon governments and businesses balancing health, social, financial and economic risks. And they have to do that in a rapidly changing environment with incomplete information. One thing we do know is that Chinese platform companies have played a vital role in the effort to slow the spread of COVID-19. They supported communities while the country was in lockdown, providing valuable information, and helping connect friends, families, experts, and governments. They’ve entertained people, helped them to learn, and kept small businesses alive. Along the way, they’ve faced new challenges and inevitably made mistakes. But they’ve also demonstrated how digital platforms generally can move quickly, operate flexibly and serve as a powerful resource in these testing times. 1 https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3074991/coronavirus-chinas-first-confirmed-covid-19-case-traced-back 2 https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/04/what-you-need-to-know-about-covid-19-5-april/ Copyright © 2020 Accenture.

  • The Future of Mobility Ride-Hailing and New Businesses to Fuel $7Tn+
    EQUITY RESEARCH | June 4, 2019 | 6:25 AM EDT The following is a redacted version of the original report. See inside for details. THE FUTURE OF M BILITY Ride-hailing and new businesses to fuel $7tn+ global mobility market The next 10 years of mobility will bring more change in the way that people and products move than any decade since the invention of the automobile. Emerging technologies and business models like ride-hailing and sharing, autonomous driving and delivery, micro-mobility and even eVTOL (flying cars, finally) stand to disrupt profit pools that we estimate exceed $700bn, and venture backed startups and incumbents will attempt to address over $7tn in spend- ing. Given the size of the opportunity, it should come as no surprise that access to capital has created a hyper competi- tive environment marked by massive operating losses driven by marketing, subsidies, incentives, and capital in- vestment. As this environment matures and rationalizes, we expect consolidation that will lead to profitability, the establishment of category leaders, and significant opportunities for investors. Heath P.
