MARKET REVIEW
nMarkets were generally up during January amid the global ‘risk-on’ sentiment. Hong Kong / started the year on positive footing on the back of a positive macro outlook and headlines of a 1% RRR cut, as well as the move by big banks to ease liquidity pressure. India also outperformed the region as markets rebounded post the
de-monetization driven weakness.

FUND ATTRIBUTION & POSITIONING
The fund outperformed its benchmark index during January.
Largan Precision, Sunny Optical and ASM Pacific all contributed to fund performance as markets turned incrementally positive on the information technology outlook, driven by an iPhone expected upgrade cycle. Khon Kaen Sugar also helped performance, led by the positive impact of high sugar prices on the company’s earnings. Hanon Systems was a major detractor due to potential new competition in one of the company’s highgrowth
segments.
The team added to the fund’s position in AAC Technologies, as the company’s earnings momentum ahead of another upgrade cycle is positive news. The team also added to VTech as its first half 2017 results gave the team further confidence about the structuring of the newly acquired LeapFrog and recent share price weakness provided an attractive entry point.

 

MARKET OUTLOOK
The resurgence of a ‘risk-on’ approach has led investors to start repositioning into certain Asian markets. Although the team believes in a ‘reflationary’ scenario, it believes risk remains asymmetric to the downside. Therefore, while the fund remains positioned for the cyclical trajectory, investing in companies with quality balance
sheets and cash flows should protect the fund against a potential risk scenario.
