Mike Shiao, Invesco Asia Equity Investment Team, Hong Kong
We believe China is a land rich in compelling bottom-up investment opportunities. This is based on our expectations that its domestic economy will emerge as a reliable driver of growth. In particular, the increasing digitalisation of Chinese society is opening up new markets which some companies are taking advantage of to enhance their product offerings. While selecting stocks, we favour private enterprises which demonstrate entrepreneurship and possess a notable track record in running businesses for their shareholders.
The Invesco Asia Equity Investment team has extensive local knowledge which supports the bottom-up stock selection process. This process has resulted in notable exposure to stocks reliant on the domestic economy which we believe have the potential to deliver sustainable returns.
“We continue to see many compelling bottom-up opportunities in China, driven by a strong domestic economy and rising digitalisation.“ Mike Shiao
Higher earnings visibility and growth offered by domestic sectors
In China, we expect the domestic economy to fully recover and, at the same time, US-China tensions to continue for the foreseeable future.
Digitalisation is opening up new value-added opportunities
In China, the digital trend is very evident and is supported by increasing infrastructure spend.
A focus on private enterprises
Our investment strategy favours private enterprises. They are highly competitive and innovative, constantly utilising new technologies to deliver market leading products and services.
The value of investments and any income will fluctuate (this may partly be the result of exchange-rate fluctuations) and investors may not get back the full amount invested. As a large portion of the fund is invested in less developed countries, you should be prepared to accept significantly large fluctuations in the value of the fund. As this fund is invested in a particular country, you should be prepared to accept greater fluctuations in the value of the fund than for a fund with a broader investment mandate. The fund may invest in certain securities listed in China which can involve significant regulatory constraints that may affect the liquidity and/or the investment performance of the fund. The fund invests in a limited number of holdings and is less diversified. This may result in large fluctuations in the value of the fund.
