Market environment

  • In February, the Chinese markets rose sharply, with the Hang Seng up 13.6% and the CSI 300 up 1.6%.
  • The indices continued to be buoyed by hopes surrounding the Chinese AI, DeepSeek, following the example of the tech giants Alibaba and Tencent.
  • The Chinese authorities brought together experts in economics and AI for a symposium to strengthen collaboration between professionals in the field while highlighting the technological innovations that could transform various economic sectors, sending a positive signal to the markets.
  • On the economic side, activity indicators have shown an improvement, as seen in the NBS manufacturing PMI (50.2) and non-manufacturing PMI (50.4).
  • Finally, on the trade tensions side, the Trump administration seems determined to implement tariff sanctions on its main trading partners, China, Mexico and Canada.

Performance commentary

  • In this context, the fund delivered an excellent performance, as did its reference indicator in the month of February.
  • The main contributor to the performance was Tuya, a Chinese specialist in artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT), which has seen its share price rise dramatically since the beginning of the year, due to the growing enthusiasm for Chinese technology and the resources put in place by the government.
  • Our position in Alibaba also supported the portfolio's performance.
  • We also benefited from our portfolio of consumer discretionary stocks such as Gaotu Techedu, which specialises in online tutoring. The company has published very encouraging results with a year-on-year increase in turnover of 82.5%, and now wants to focus on integrating AI to improve its educational services.
  • Our main position, TSMC, has nevertheless suffered from the downturn in the semiconductor sector.

Outlook strategy

  • While we remain constructive on the Chinese markets in the long term, in the short term we are maintaining a cautious stance due to the unpredictability of Donald Trump's measures and the uncertainties surrounding the government's support measures.
  • In the face of the United States' protectionist measures, the Chinese government seems determined to put in place restrictive measures in response to these tariff sanctions and protect its interests.
  • Currently, although the Chinese government's announcements do not seem sufficient, as such, to turn around the Chinese economy, this is a major turning point, as President Xi Jinping has shown that he now prioritises the economy, innovation and technological progress.
  • We are closely monitoring each of our Chinese positions and their valuation, our objective being to remain disciplined in the calibration of positions.
  • Over the month, we continued to strengthen our position in JD.com, initiated a position in the company VNET group, specialised in data centres and in the cloud, but also in the company Beijing Kingsoft Office Software, specialised in office automation software.
