So far in 2019, markets have moved positively and our worst fears from Q4 remain unfounded. However, investors should not be complacent and interpret this period of good news as predictive of the rest of 2019. Markets are likely to again fear the future. In this week’s post, our advisor Say Boon Lim shares his thoughts about the current period of benign market activity.

Emerging markets seem to be one of the top picks among both sell-side strategies and well-known investors in 2019. We would like to examine if their views are valid and understand better about the reasons behind. To make it into an actionable advice, we also share our thought why emerging ASEAN maybe the crème de la crème and update our readers on the performance of Premia Dow Jones Emerging ASEAN Titans 100 ETF.

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.

On the 1 year anniversary of our China A smart beta ETFs, we thought it prudent to reflect on how 2803 HK and 3173 HK have done since launch, as well as take stock of China A-shares markets overall. In this note, we’ll recap the ETF performance and tracking, review China A-shares over the last 12 months, explore which factors worked and didn’t and offer a few thoughts about our expectations going forward. Thanks as always for reading and trusting us with your investments.

Innovation is increasingly a key requirement for economic growth. The story is no longer about Copied in China, but Made in China. The same is true throughout the Asian region. Unfortunately, until now, there’s been no easy and efficient way to build an Asia Innovation exposure. After months of discussions with clients, followed by months of research and data clean-up, we are pleased to announce the launch of the Premia FactSet Asia Innovative Technology Index. In this post, we cover the rationale, methodology and result of this innovative approach to capturing Asian growth. To ask us a question, or express your interest, click here.

While the world paints EM with a single broad-brush stroke, ASEAN markets have quietly separated from the rest of EM and may have bottomed out in July. We say quietly because no one is talking about it, with most financial media preferring to focus on the US/China trade war, Turkey’s Lira crisis, Argentina’s rate hike or some other potential problem area. There hasn’t been much news out of ASEAN of late, which may simply be because the story is not one of turmoil and difficulty but of consistent growth and opportunity.

China property USD bonds have extended gains through the third quarter, with the Premia China USD Property Bond ETF (3001/9001 HK) up more than 20% year to date. On 28 August, Beijing announced the most significant overhaul of China's housing sales and financing framework in three decades. It works through four channels:Sales milestones reset. MOHURD, MNR and NFRA now require a building to be structurally topped out before presales can begin, with 100% of purchase funds — down payments and mortgage proceeds — held in supervised escrow until completion and delivery.Lead-bank oversight. Designated banks supervise project financing, escrow and construction progress end to end, and a homebuyer's mortgage is now issued only after the project is completed.Longer mortgage tenors. The PBOC lifted the maximum personal mortgage tenor from 30 to 40 years.Wider capital-market access. The CSRC broadened refinancing and M&A channels, alongside expanded REIT, CMBS and ABS support for income-producing assets.While the near-term read is negative for developers - replacing presale proceeds with borrowing implies higher leverage and more secured debt, which can subordinate existing senior claims - that argues for selection rather than avoidance. The Premia China USD Property Bond ETF (3001 / 9001 HK) holds secured and senior unsecured paper only, and excludes subordinated debt and LGFVs, favouring issuers with recurring rental income and the securitisation access the CSRC has just widened. Over the medium to long term, the reform should reduce the risk of another property-sector shock. Delivery risk moves off household prepayments and into bank-supervised project finance, lowering the odds of a repeat of the unfinished-project stress that drove the last default wave, while tighter new-home supply supports the clearing of existing inventory. Meanwhile, banks are being capitalised to carry that risk: Beijing announced a further RMB360bn (US$54bn) injection into eight state financial institutions on 6 September, of which RMB290bn (US$43.2bn) went to lenders. Brokers expect developer equities to stay soft unless policy surprises or sales data improve. Bonds answer a different question: not whether growth returns, but whether issuers keep paying. The ETF yields around 12.9% (as of Sep 8, 2026), well above the broader Asia high yield market - the extra income investors are paid for the risk that some issuers still restructure or default while the transition plays out.
