China Evolution Equity


A unique approach to investing in China

Unconstrained China equity investing
  • Seek attractive investment opportunities across the full spectrum of onshore and offshore China equity markets
  • Being benchmark-unconstrained, we take a truly active approach
Investing in change
  • Identify change in business fundamentals or investor behaviour 
  • We believe mispricing could arise in areas where future fundamentals will be different from the past 
Going beyond the obvious¹ 
  • The team seeks to invest beyond the top 100 mega cap names and focus on where change and growth are underappreciated
  • In other words, we look to focus on the other 98% of the opportunity set

The opportunity set is defined as all Chinese companies listed onshore and offshore in the China Universe. The 100 largest companies (with a market cap above roughly USD 20-30bn) represent around 2% of this opportunity set.

General fund risks – to be read in conjunction with the fund specific risks above. Equity risk – In general, equities involve higher risks than bonds or money market instruments. Geographic concentration risk – To the extent that a fund invests a large portion of its assets in a particular geographic area, its performance will be more strongly affected by events within that area. Investment fund risk – Investing in funds involves certain risks an investor would not face if investing in markets directly. Management risk – The investment manager or its designees may at times find their obligations to a fund to be in conflict with their obligations to other investment portfolios they manage (although in such cases, all portfolios will be dealt with equitably). Market risk – Market risk may subject the fund to experience losses caused by unexpected changes in a wide variety of factors. Operational risk – operational failures could lead to disruptions of fund operations or financial losses.
