I maintain my 'buy' rating on CHIQ, citing quality holdings, attractive valuations, and significant upside potential for Chinese equities. Previously, I've discussed that household demand for local equities is weak, which still presents a major opportunity to boost returns and valuations via supportive sentiment and policies. 5 months since my last rating, CHIQ has demonstrated impressive resilience while its relative value to global equities has been becoming more apparent.
Policy commitments will likely strong in 2025, and it will have a sensitive impact on the equities market. With the current weak allocation of equities by households, a shift in such dynamic driven by policy tailwinds will be impactful. CHIQ benefits from the thematics of domestic consumption focus instead of being geopolitically exposed.
CHIQ invests in large-cap Chinese consumer discretionary stocks, but faces challenges from China's high household debt, housing market issues, and declining population. Despite a short-term boost from a 2024 stimulus package, long-term economic struggles and policy risks persist, impacting consumer confidence and spending. External threats, including potential higher tariffs and restricted access to innovative technologies under the new Trump administration, further weaken China's economic outlook.

The fund is focused on investing in securities that mimic the performance of companies within the MSCI China Index that are specifically classified within the consumer discretionary sector. By allocating at least 80% of its total assets in these securities and also in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs) that are based on the securities in the underlying index, the fund seeks to track the sector's performance accurately. The selection criteria stem from the underlying components of the parent index, aiming to leverage the growth and performance of the consumer discretionary sector in China. The fund is characterized by a non-diversified investment approach, concentrating its resources into a specific sector rather than spreading out its investments across multiple sectors.
The fund invests majorly in the securities that are part of the underlying MSCI China Index, which includes companies classified within the consumer discretionary sector. This approach allows the fund to be directly influenced by the performance of its sector-specific investments in China.
In addition to direct investments in securities, the fund expands its portfolio through investments in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs). These instruments are based on the securities in the underlying index and provide the fund with a broader exposure to the sector's performance through internationally recognized depositary receipts.
This fund adopts a non-diversified investment strategy, focusing its assets on the consumer discretionary sector within the MSCI China Index. This concentrated approach is designed to maximize exposure to the sector's potential growth and performance, albeit with a higher risk level due to the lack of diversification across different sectors.
