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.

Can you trust the numbers in China?
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.

Rethinking the safe haven
  • Alex Chu

The immediate threat of a US-EU trade war has subsided with President Trump’s sudden reversal on tariffs, but the underlying tensions remain unresolved. Denmark has already denied the existence of any deal to cede Greenland, suggesting this reprieve may be temporary. This constant policy whiplash reinforces the view of major institutional investors like AkademikerPension that US Treasuries are increasingly fraught with headline risk. As their CIO notes, the 'massive credit risk' posed by US governance issues means investors must look beyond the immediate news cycle and plan for a future where US assets are no longer the sole definition of safety. This environment validates the case for Asia Investment Grade (IG) as a superior alternative. The asset class is not only shielded from Western political brinkmanship but is also undergoing a positive transformation. We are seeing a healthy diversification in issuers, highlighted by Kuaishou Technology entering the market to fund its AI ambitions. This signals that Asia IG is evolving from traditional sectors into a dynamic, tech-forward asset class. For investors seeking stability without sacrificing growth, the Premia J.P. Morgan Asia Credit Investment Grade Bond ETF offers diversified exposure to these solid sovereign and corporate credits, serving as a prudent hedge against the unpredictable winds of Washington.“
