Equity Strategies

China Equity

A core active Greater China-focused equity strategy with a long-term track record.

Early Proponent of China

Nikko AM has been investing in China for close to 15 years, being the first asset management company to be certified by the Chinese authorities as a qualified foreign institutional investor (QFII) in December 2003. The firm has built on this first mover advantage by working in partnership with its local associate Rongtong Fund Management Co. Ltd to develop a differentiated China equity proposition with an intuitive understanding of the China market and nuances at its core – and turning insights into sustainable investment opportunities for clients.

Designed for Insights Intensity

The colossal Chinese market is characterised by an intensity of information that demands a whole new level of research and connectivity that the Nikko AM team is purposefully designed for.
 
The collaborative team of six portfolio managers and analysts have diverse and complementary background bespoke to China’s evolving structure and developments. The close partnership with Rongtong enables the team to further tap into the expertise and market intelligence of a home-grown entity which is plugged into the uniquely local information network.
 
The Nikko AM and Rongtong teams with a combined strength of over 40 investment professionals have established strong rapport in analysing information about companies and market research that culminates in the selection of high conviction stocks for our portfolios.

Institutional Make-up

The research advantage complements the institutional DNA of Nikko AM’s portfolio construction process – an investment process that is aligned with client interests and time tested. With institutional discipline and high conviction, the team looks beyond crowded trades for growth stocks with the potential for sustainable returns. The research-driven, structured approach distils inherent market inefficiencies to systematically manage client portfolios towards achieving target alpha with lower volatility and within agreed risk parameters.
