US debt, deficits, and yields: Outlook
insightUS debt, deficits, and yields: Outlook

The US Treasury’s recent – and ongoing – dash for cash highlights the economy’s enormous fiscal challenges. To quote Bloomberg: “The barrage of fresh Treasury bills poised to hit the market over the next few months is merely a prelude of what’s yet to come: a wave of longer-term debt sales that’s seen driving bond yields even higher. Sales of government notes and bonds are set to begin rising in August, with net new issuance estimated to top USD 1 trillion in 2023 and nearly double next year to fund a widening deficit.” On top of that, according to calculations by asset manager Horizon Kinetics and as quoted by gold fund manager Incrementum, the US will have to refinance around half of its national debt of more than USD 35 trillion by 2025. That’s a lot of debt maturities to digest in two years. In this article, our Senior Advisor Say Boon Lim cautions that even if Fed rates stabilise, the longer-term outlook for US Treasury yields would likely remain risky as persistent deficits drive up debt relative to GDP, in turn driving interest payments as a percentage of GDP up “vertically”. Indeed, the Congressional Budget Office is warning of the “risk of a fiscal crisis”.

Why China 2023 is not Japan 1990
insightWhy China 2023 is not Japan 1990

With the world except for China busy taming inflation, the China “lost decade” narrative has been driving pessimism over Chinese assets in recent months. How much of this fear could be substantiated and how much of it is fear of shadows? In this article our Senior Advisor Say Boon Lim reviews this topic from multiple angles, and explains why China today is unlikely to be Japan 1990 given significant differences in labour forces, total factor productivity (TFP), government policy focus, R&D spendings, financial resources and tools available to the government as well as structural growth from urbanisation and well capitalised state-owned banks that continue to support the case for China to avoid Japan’s secular stagnation.

12 charts and where does China fare among its emerging market peers in the context of economic resilience
insight12 charts and where does China fare among its emerging market peers in the context of economic resilience

As China’s post reopening recovery has taken a slower pace than the high hopes of the markets, there have been concerns that China’s economic growth will be lower for longer resembling Japan’s "Lost Decade". However it is important to note China and its people do have a solid track record of resilience, and there are several structural features of China that differentiates it from other emerging markets or Japan in its growth trajectory. In this article, our Senior Advisor Say Boon Lim shares 12 interesting charts to review in the context of China’s relatively high economic resilience (as measured by the Swiss Re Institute’s Resilience Index), comparing with MSCI Emerging Markets ex-China’s key constituents namely India, Brazil, South Korea, Taiwan, and Saudi Arabia. Economic resilience being a product a policy stability and prudence, are pointing to an undervalued opportunity in Chinese equities and the appeal of Chinese government bonds for its stable yield at a time when other countries’ government rates and bond yields are surging.

[KR] 중국, 4월 경기지표 너머로
insight[KR] 중국, 4월 경기지표 너머로

중국 4월 데이터는 시장 기대치에 미치지 못했지만, 실망감은 시장이 자체적으로 매우 높게 세운 기대치에서 비롯된 것인데요. 사실상 이른바 4월의 "실망감"은 전세계적인 맥락에서 본다면 아주 다르게 보입니다. 이번 인사이트에서 당사의 선임 고문 Say Boon Lim은 중국의 자체 5% 성장 목표와 올해 중국이 세계 GDP 성장의 약 30%에 기여할 것이라는 IMF의 예상을 고려해볼 때 그렇게 높은 기대치에 미달한 것에 대한 실망보다는 더 큰 산을 볼 필요가 있다고 전했습니다.

[KR] 중국 국영기업(SOE) – 리레이팅·가치 재평가 과정 속 잠재 가치를 발굴하기 위한 여정
insight[KR] 중국 국영기업(SOE) – 리레이팅·가치 재평가 과정 속 잠재 가치를 발굴하기 위한 여정

과거 투자자들은 중국 주식 소유시 국영기업(SOE)보단 민영기업(POE)을 더 선호했습니다. 보통 민영기업은 더 효율적으로 운영되며 성장·이익·혁신을 추구하는 경향이 있는 반면, 국영기업은 보통 관료주의, 사회적 책임, 고용·사회적 안정 지원, 그리고 변화·혁신과는 거리가 먼 전통적인 사내문화에 얽매인 채 운영된다는 고정관념이 존재했기 때문이다. 그러나 정부의 강력한 지원 뿐만 아니라, 국영기업 개혁을 촉진하고 국영기업들의 가치 발굴을 강조하는 새 정책들이 속속 등장함에 따라, 이제는 이러한 고정관념을 타파할 때가 된 것 같습니다. 변화를 위해 노력하고, 또 진정한 경제 발전에 기여할 수 있도록 재편성되고 새로운 가치를 발견할 수 있게끔 정책 결정자들의 전폭적인 지지를 받는 국영기업들이 새로이 등장하고 있기 때문입니다. 이 글에서는 최근 인기를 끌고 있는 국영기업 리레이팅/가치 재평가 테마의 배경에 대해 논의해볼 것이며, 중국 국영기업 테마에 적절한 익스포져를 갖기 위한 최적의 방법을 소개합니다.

insightChina A-shares Q1 2023 factor review

China’s stock market rode a wave of positive sentiment on a policy shift that brought the world’s second-largest economy out of lockdown, pushing the CSI 300 Index up 4.7% for the quarter and leading to even stronger performance for strategies applying intelligent factor tilts within the bedrock economy and new economy. Even so, macro data throughout the quarter charting China’s recovery from strict zero-COVID containment measures led some investors to question the strength and sustainability of the nation’s economic rebound. In this article, Dr. Phillip Wool, Global Head of Research of Rayliant Global Advisors discusses first-quarter performance and considers what the next phase of China’s reopening could mean for investors.

과창판(STAR50) – 중국 반도체 성장 기회를 포착하기 좋은 자산배분 투자 전략
insight과창판(STAR50) – 중국 반도체 성장 기회를 포착하기 좋은 자산배분 투자 전략

인터넷 플랫폼 기업들이 지난 10년 간 중국 테크 섹터를 주도해 온 주요 동력이었지만, 최근 실적 발표와 경영 방향성을 살펴보면, 이커머스·게임·승차플랫폼·라스트 마일 배송 등 업종들의 고성장 모멘텀이 대폭 둔화되고 있는 모습인데요. 정부 정책 변동·반독점법·데이터 보안 위반 등에 대한 우려뿐만 아니라 시장이 성숙 단계에 진입하면서 이들 사업 모델의 전망은 불확실해보입니다. 반면, 특히 반도체와 같은 하드코어 테크놀로지 섹터는 미국 바이든 행정부의 적대적인 조치에도 시장에서 떠오르는 업종으로 각광받고 있습니다. 이번 글에서는 왜 반도체 업종이 조만간 중국 주식 시장의 핵심 섹터 중 하나가 될 예정인지, 그리고 투자자들이 중국 테크 산업의 패러다임 변화에 맞춰 포트폴리오를 재구성하고자 할 때 왜 프리미아 차이나 과창판(STAR50) ETF를 활용하면 테크 산업의 성장기회들을 포착하기 좋은지 다뤄보도록 하겠습니다.

[KR] 미국 주식 – 포스트맨이 벨을 두 번 울렸습니다.
insight[KR] 미국 주식 – 포스트맨이 벨을 두 번 울렸습니다.

트레이더들은 1981년 영화 "포스트맨(집배원)은 벨을 두 번 울린다"의 영화 제목에서 차용한 표현을 종종 사용하곤 하는데요. 이 표현은 바로 투자자들에게 시장이 종종 진입하거나 빠져나올 수 있는 기회를 주곤 한다는 점을 가리킵니다. 올해 2월 초 S&P 500 지수는 장중 최고치인 4195를 기록했지만 2022년 1월부터 10월까지의 모든 하락을 되돌림했던 피보나치 되돌림 비율 50% 선을 넘어선 상태를 지속하지 못했던 시점, “포스트맨”이 처음 벨을 울렸다는 생각이 드는데요. Say Boon Lim 당사 선임 고문은 이번 글에서 미국 시장에 대한 밸류에이션 및 수익 전망을 다룰 것이며, S&P 500지수가 또 다시 피보나치 되돌림 비율 78.6% 저항선을 시험하고 있는 현 시점, 포스트맨이 막 두번째 벨을 울렸을 수도 있습니다.

Reflections on the US cycle – inflation, rates, and asset markets
insightReflections on the US cycle – inflation, rates, and asset markets

Banking failures in the US, the recent epic takeover of Credit Suisse and the wipe out of its AT1, speak volumes about the stage of the cycle in Developed Markets. In particular, they warn against underestimating the risks at this stage of the asset and economic cycles. The Fed now risks a return to 1970-1985 if it loses its nerve on rates, and it is going into battle with very little – rates are lower than at previous cyclical bottoms and inflation is higher. In this article, our Senior Advisor Say Boon Lim shares his reflections on the US cycle, inflations, rates and asset markets, and while US asset market outlook is worrying, why China is increasingly becoming a safe haven trade for investors.

Taiwan's Q1 GDP growth reached 13.69% amid the global AI boom

Taiwan’s economy continues to demonstrate exceptional strength, supported by its increasingly indispensable role in the global AI supply chain. First-quarter GDP expanded 13.69% year-on-year, marking the fastest pace of growth since 1987. The upside surprise was driven primarily by robust external demand, as exports surged on the back of accelerating global investment in AI infrastructure, semiconductors, and high-performance computing. Electronic components and ICT products accounted for nearly 80% of total outbound shipments, reinforcing Taiwan’s position at the center of next-generation technology manufacturing. The strength of the export cycle is also translating into broader domestic economic momentum. Technology companies continue to expand capacity and increase R&D spending to capture long-term AI opportunities, supporting manufacturing activity and capital formation. Meanwhile, buoyant equity market turnover and increased participation in investment products have provided an additional tailwind for Taiwan’s financial sector. With global AI capital expenditure expected to maintain a strong multi-year growth trajectory through the end of the decade, Taiwan remains structurally well-positioned to benefit from rising demand across the semiconductor and advanced electronics ecosystem. Against this backdrop, Taiwan equities should continue to enjoy strong medium-term earnings support and investor interest. For investors seeking efficient exposure to Taiwan’s leading technology champions, including TSMC, MediaTek, Delta Electronics, and ASE Technology, the Premia FTSE TWSE Taiwan 50 ETF offers a focused and liquid vehicle to access Taiwan’s AI-driven growth story.
