Fund Commentary

Chinese equities fell in the first quarter amid a global sell-off on coronavirus disease (COVID-19) worries with the FTSE MPF China Index down 13.48%. Macro risks like US-China trade conflicts, macro-economic slowdown in China that have previously pressured on the market have been fading out in early January for a good start of 2020. However, COVID-19 outbreak has started halving economy activity after Wuhan lockdown before Chinese New Year. Market plunged on the first day of market reopen but recovered quickly as market expected more fiscal and monetary policies from the government to further support for its economy. The fund has outperformed the FTSE MPF China Index in the first quarter of 2020, mainly driven by positive stock selection in Financials and Consumer Services offset by the unfavourable stock selection in Telecommunications and Oil and Gas.
