Statements of fact are from sources considered reliable. We are particularly interested in so-called “new economy” stocks. The trajectory of companies that have harnessed technology to create online platforms from traditional brick-and-mortar businesses has led to various Chinese government initiatives, from lower transaction costs to reaching segments of society that previously did not have that access to goods and services. The concept of digitization extends beyond the consumer section in light of fifth-generation (5G) technology, as we think it could become a tailwind for other sectors to capture this opportunity, particularly in the industrials sector. As we continue to keep an eye on quality businesses with sustainable business models, we also anticipate ongoing Chinese initiatives that could bring fertile investment opportunities. We are committed to our long-term perspective and disciplined investment approach as we conduct a rigorous, fundamental analysis of securities with a regular emphasis on investment risk management.
