Portfolio Review In 2020, the portfolio RoR of 111.87% exceeded the benchmark by 80.61%. We have achieved good returns in the following industries: consumer, healthcare, technology, alternative energy and the Internet. II. Market Review The Covid-19 pandemic had an immense effect on the market in 2020. The Chinese domestic market experienced a steep decline in 2020 Q1, prompted by the emergence of Covid-19 in China, and the spread of the epidemic overseas. Later, with an expansion of quantitative easing, a year-long bull market emerged. Valuations for top-end companies and those industries in high demand continue to rise. Leading HKEX companies also performed well. III. Investment Strategy The main strategy of the Fund is to buy and hold high-quality growth stocks at reasonable prices. We invest the main portion in small and medium cap stocks and a minor portion in large cap stocks. We have conducted a large amount of research focused on entities including: the listed company itself, upstream/downstream industries within the industry chain, and competitors. We have also collected information and feedback relating to the Company from both buyers and sellers. With regard to our stock selection process, the quality and certainty of growth are the main considerations. Quality and certainty can be observed in profit growth supported by cash flow and a core competitiveness, which minimises risks. These risks include those brought about by a fall in demand, increased industry competition and policies. Valuations are equally important to us. Reasonable valuations incorporate growth rates, the quality and certainty of growth, balance sheet quality and corporate governance. IV. Market Outlook Following market rises in 2019 and 2020, the current market valuation is already relatively high and the stock prices for a number of stocks already incorporate growth for the next three years. The economy is still improving and the moderate monetary policy of the Federal Reserve persists. Our outlook for the 2021 stock market is one of cautious optimism, as inflation and tightening monetary policy have the potential to cause fluctuations in growth. We continue to expand the scale of this Fund, and with that, the number of shares we hold, in the areas of consumption, healthcare, technology, alternative energy and the Internet.
