Macro risks like US-China trade conflicts, macro-economic slowdown in mainland 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. 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 underperformed the FTSE MPF Hong Kong Index in the first quarter of 2020, the positive stock selection in Financials and Consumer Services was offset by the unfavourable stock selection in Telecommunications and Oil and Gas.
