Investment approach
DJE - Asia focuses on equities with strong substance and growth as well as companies with stable and promising business models from the Asia-Pacific region. The RCEP free trade zone, which was established in 2020, is the largest in the world in terms of its share of global GDP and is expected to contribute to the region's dynamic growth (see chart). The investment process combines fundamental top-down (FMM) and bottom-up analysis. This is to ensure that both opportunities and risks are identified in a timely manner. In the fund, preference is given to companies with attractive earnings growth. The decisive investment criteria include sustained growth, stability of corporate earnings as well as innovative strength and a leading competitive position. The fund management actively controls the investment quotas in regions, countries, sectors or companies of the Asian economic area free of index specifications.
Chances
- Excellent demographic developments make long-term growth in investments in Asia possible
- The conditions for expansion in many Asian domestic economies, such as China, continue to exist
- Traditionally higher dividend payments mean that the fund can take advantage of the compounding effect of reinvested dividends
Risks
- Equity prices may exhibit relatively strong fluctuations depending on market conditions
- Currency risks resulting from a high proportion of foreign investments
- Issuer country and credit risks
Monthly Commentary
Asian stock markets performed mostly well facing positive leading indicators and a reviving global economy, with the exception of China and Hong Kong. China's intervention in the Hong Kong election process weighed on the stock market there. In addition China's regulator targeted 12 large companies to investigate possible violations of the Monopoly Law. On the other hand, the purchasing managers' indexes in China rose, especially those for services. Compared to last year China's exports increased 61% in January and February, industrial production rose 35% and retail sales increased 34%. The Chinese government is targeting an economic growth in height of 6% in 2021. In this market environment the price of the DJE - Asia rose 2.57%. Its benchmark index (100% MSCI Daily TR AC Far East Ex Japan) corrected -0.37%. In March the sectors of the Asian investment region performed mixed. The best performing sectors, i.e. with the highest price gains, industry (overweighted in the fund), construction & materials and financial services (both slightly underweighted in the fund). The sectors telecommunication and energy (both overweight in the fund) and non-consumer discretionary, technology and healthcare (all three underweight in the fund) ended the month underperforming, i.e. with the largest price losses. Overall the sector weighting had a positive impact on fund’s performance versus the broad Asian equity market in March. At individual stock level the strongest performance contributions were delivered by the highly weighted positions of the composite producer Kingboard Holdings, the conglomerate CK Hutchison (both Hong Kong), the sporting goods manufacturer Anta Sports (China) and the bicycle component and accessory manufacturer Shimano (Japan). In addition the fund benefited from the insurance company PICC Property and Casualty and the hygiene company Vinda (both China). On the other hand the fund's performance was slowed down by several individual stocks, including the real estate company Great Eagle (Hong Kong), the wind turbine manufacturer Xinjiang Goldwind, the solar glass manufacturer Xinyi Solar and the internet company Tencent (all three China). During the month the fund management reduced mainly in the sectors technology, oil & gas, household goods and retail. On the other hand, it increased positions mainly in the sectors real estate, banking, insurance and healthcare. It also increased the sectors food & beverage, telecommunications and travel & leisure. Regionally the allocations of Japan and China in particular were increased, while South Korean stocks were reduced. The investment ratio remained almost stable at 98.33% equities (98.84% previous month). Stocks denominated in Hong Kong and U.S. dollars as well as in Japanese yen were partly currency-hedged at the end of the month.
