Investing in the China of Tomorrow...Today.
insightInvesting in the China of Tomorrow...Today.

Most investors agree that EM economy drivers are shifting from financials and energy to technology, consumption, healthcare, education and sustainable growth. Yet when we actually invest in EM, and onshore China, we simply focus on the largest listed stocks, i.e. yesterday’s drivers. One size does not fit all in China beta and today we dive into a new economy approach for A-shares that is a must for the long-term.

China governance - should you take the plunge?
insightChina governance - should you take the plunge?

Without any screening or selection, solely investing in all SOEs or the largest market cap SOEs may not be optimal strategies. What is important for investors is how to capture the current contributors and engines for future growth of China economy regardless whether the underlying stocks are SOEs or non-SOEs.

It's relatively easy to beat the market (or, why not all smart betas are created equal)!
insightIt's relatively easy to beat the market (or, why not all smart betas are created equal)!

Are all smart beta products smart? This is a question I've asked a few times over the last few years but always got a "nuanced" answer depending on the product being marketed.

insightCan you trust the numbers in China?

Can you trust the numbers reported by all Chinese listed corporations? Absolutely not. But that doesn't mean smart beta can't generate alpha. With help from our friends at Rayliant, we dive into a factor metric that allows us to deprioritize earnings manipulators and to generate alpha from their efforts.

Time to accumulate China and Asia growth stocks
  • Alex Chu

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.
