Market environment

  • Chinese markets fell in March, with the Hang Seng down 3.0% and the CSI 300 down 3.4%.
  • On the geopolitical front, Donald Trump's administration continues to threaten its major trading partners, including China, with increased tariffs.
  • The National People's Congress met for the annual "Two Sessions" to set the country's policy direction and announced its growth target of +5% for 2025.
  • The government signaled its intention to support the consumer, marking a major shift in the country's growth model, which is now focused on domestic consumption.
  • At the end of the period, China announced a $72 billion recapitalization of the country's four largest banks, primarily funded by the Ministry of Finance, to strengthen lending capacity and support the weakened economy.

Performance commentary

  • In this context, the Fund posted a negative performance, underperforming its benchmark.
  • Our portfolio of technology stocks significantly underperformed the global technology giants over the period. In this respect, our holdings in the semiconductor value chain declined, in particular TSMC, Mediatek, Elite Material and Lotes.
  • Tuya, the Chinese AI specialist, lost ground after making a significant contribution to performance in February.
  • After an excellent start to the year, Beike, a provider of transaction services in the real estate sector, fell following the publication of its quarterly results, which were disappointing, particularly in terms of profitability.
  • Finally, our positions in Wuxi Biologics and Tencent Music, although profitable, ended the year in negative territory.

Outlook strategy

  • In the short term, however, we remain cautious due to the risk associated with the introduction of tariffs by Donald Trump's administration and the uncertainty surrounding government support measures. In the face of US protectionist measures, the Chinese government seems determined to protect its interests and implement restrictive measures in response to these tariffs.
  • While the Chinese government's announcements alone do not seem sufficient to turn around the country's economy, this is an important turning point as President Xi Jinping has shown that he is now prioritizing the Chinese consumer, innovation and technological progress.
  • We are closely monitoring each of our Chinese positions and their valuation, with the aim of remaining disciplined in the calibration of positions.
  • During the month, we initiated a position in the Chinese company Montage Technology, which specializes in the design of semiconductors, and in Universal Microwave, which produces electronic components.
