Guinness China A Share Fund
The Guinness China A Share strategy invests in quality, profitable companies exposed to the structural growth themes we have identified in the China A share market.
Overview
The Guinness China A Share strategy invests in quality, profitable companies exposed to the structural growth themes we have identified in the China A share market. These themes are built upon changes we have seen in incomes, demographics, production advances and the application of technology in consumer, industrial and infrastructure settings.
The fund managers believe the A share market offers wider choices with more focused and liquid exposure to these themes and sub-themes, than can be found through stocks listed in Hong Kong and overseas, albeit with a different risk profile. They also believe an active approach, incorporating systematic analysis of risk as well as return, is more likely to lead to better investment outcomes than the adoption of a passive strategy.
The Guinness China A Share Fund consists of a concentrated portfolio of 30 companies that are well governed, financially sound and operationally efficient to enable them to translate a leading market position into profits and crucially, cash. Companies must fit into the structural thematic framework to enter the investable universe. They must also generate a return on capital above the cost of capital, have debt of no more than 150% of the value of their equity, and be of a minimum $500m market capitalisation.
The Guinness China A Share Fund offers dedicated exposure to the trends below:
- Our expectation that China A shares will take up a rising weight in global benchmarks over the long-term. This implies greater demand for China A shares over time. Low correlation to developed markets, which is attractive given rising interest rates in developed markets.
- Inefficiencies in the China A share market, which is still driven by retail investors. Currently, we believe retail investors are too pessimistic, which is a good time to enter the market.
- Low foreign participation in the China A share market, allowing investors to take exposure now before foreign investors significantly increase their allocation to the market.
