As we wrap up 2018, it’s hard not to reflect on a -25% year in A-shares. As investors, however, we have to look forward and ask ourselves – what’s in store for 2019? Will the trade war result in continued downward momentum? Or will policy accommodation and an improved trade environment result in a massive upside reversal? Looking back 10 years to the global financial crisis, we examine a potential path forward for A-shares in 2019.

For the past 5 years, the surest trade in finance was to bet on US technology stocks and watch market caps double and portfolio returns roll in. However, the last few months have shaken that confidence and now many investors are asking what’s next, given the diminishing growth picture globally. Asian companies focused on innovation offer an interesting opportunity in this regard, especially considering the correction so far and their potential going forward. Though many VC and tech investors have already made the shift to Asia, that move is yet to occur in public equity markets. We believe our Premia Factset Asia Innovative Technology Index, and its corresponding ETF, 3173 HK, should be in every global and tech investors toolkit.

While Chinese new economy stocks have faced short-term volatility amid the geopolitical tensions, their long-term growth remains anchored by strategic policy and industry breakthroughs. The 15th Five Year Plan underlines that technology and self-sufficiency still come first, backed by a strong push for AI and digital infrastructure. The blueprint mentioned “AI“ more than 50 times and included major action plans to deploy AI agents and increase investment in quantum computing and 6G. On the hardware front, sources indicate SMIC (688981 CH) and other Huawei-linked chipmakers are aiming to ramp up production of 7nm or 5nm semiconductors to 100K wafers in 1-2 years to support domestic developers. This domestic ecosystem is already bearing fruit: Zhipu AI released its GLM-5 model with superior coding capabilities, notably confirming the model was developed using domestic chips from Huawei, Moore Threads, and Cambricon. On the software side, adoption is accelerating. OpenClaw has sparked a new trend pivoting from “Chat AI” to “Execution AI”, reminding investors of the DeepSeek moment in 2022. Chinese AI companies act swiftly to adopt the trend, making China a leader in consumer AI adoption. Multiple developers like Tencent and Xiaomi are linking OpenClaw to their models. Even before this new trend, local media have reported that Chinese AI models’ weekly token usage surpassed US peers, suggesting that monetization may arrive earlier than expected. Investors focused on hardware semiconductors could consider our Premia China STAR50 ETF. For broader exposure, our Premia CSI Caixin China New Economy ETF offers a diversified approach with investments in semiconductors, AI, EV, and Biotech, allowing investors to participate in China’s innovative growth story. For even broader Asia exposure, investors might consider our Premia Asia Innovative Technology and Metaverse Theme ETF, which invests in Asia's 50 largest innovative companies across sectors such as AI, semiconductors, solar energy, and EVs with equal weightings.
