Focuses on 3 investment themes in China equities to capture opportunities in the new economy

COVID-19 has impacted many major economies. In contrast, the pandemic has been under control in China. The previously suppressed demand has been released. With the substantial policy support from the government, China took the lead in recovery and is in a better position for growth potential. Moreover, built upon its solid fundamentals, Chinese economy has transited from speed of growth to quality of growth. Chinese assets have become major choices for individual and institutional investors. From a medium-term perspective, we believe that the three major themes in the stock market include:

Labor cost savings fro adoption of advance industrial robots

Technology adoption

Chinese technology development has reached the world standard. Its industrial upgrading, e-commerce and internet sectors have become the market focus.

Industrial upgrading

The 14^th Five-Year Plan is having a greater emphasis on innovative technology and advanced manufacturing development.

In support of the move, China is expected to open up the market further to attract foreign capital and technical know-how, drive down the cost of production, tap to target client segments and hence grow the client base.

E-commerce and internet

The market size of e-commerce and internet in China is enormous. Many traditional businesses have transformed into e-commerce, speeding up the development and expansion of supply chain and prompting structural improvement.

Investment focus: high-end component manufacturing, large scale e-commerce, leading internet companies

Healthcare

The COVID-19 outbreak will lead to a gold era in the healthcare sector. The market in China is expected to exceed RMB 8 trillion in 2020 and will surge to RMB 16 trillion by 2030^II.

Investment focus: medical service, pharmaceutical, medical equipment

Chinese citizen’s income growing rapidly Consumption upgrade is accelerating

Consumption premiumization

The trend of upgrading consumption continues to ferment among Chinese consumers, as the per capital income rises.

The pace is accelerating driven by the momentum of urbanization. The structure of consumption expenditures evolves rapidly.

The huge growth potential in mid to high-end consumption will serve as a major investment theme for the next five to ten years.

Investment focus: high-end wine, education institutions, retail brands

Chinese bonds offer attractive valuations with low default rate, providing investors with opportunities in the second half of 2020

Chinese high yield bonds offer attractive yield

The Chinese government has taken a multi-pronged approach by increasing fiscal expenditure, relaxing monetary policy and providing supportive measures to provide more long-term funding, increasing market liquidity, in return alleviating corporate default risks.

Offering low valuation and attractive yields, in addition to exhibiting a low correction with the oil price, Chinese high yield bonds have higher appeal than their US and European counterparts. Chinese bonds are expected to become one of the major asset classes for international investors, providing strong support for the fundamentals of Chinese bond market.

Investment focus: Chinese government bonds, policy bank bonds, property bonds

Dynamic allocation between equities and bonds Captures opportunities in the new economy

The Fund frequently adjusts the mix of China A shares , Hong Kong equities, American depositary receipts (ADRs), offshore bonds, onshore bonds and cash through dynamic allocation. We actively search for investment opportunities from more than 5,400 companies, and act swiftly in response to market movement to mitigate short-term volatility. The Fund aims to capture opportunities in China’s new economy for long term capital growth and stable return.

Dynamic allocation between equities and bonds Captures opportunities in the new economy

The Fund aims to capture capital appreciation through stocks, and to enhance yield as well as to lower the overall volatility through bond holdings and through dynamic asset allocation.

Dynamic asset allocation in multi-assets and cash

BEA Union Investment Capital Growth Fund

BEA Union Investment Capital Growth Fund is an approved pooled investment fund umbrella which has within it different investment funds investing in equities or bonds, each with a different risk profile.
An investment fund which invests in a single market may be subject to higher concentration risk than investment funds which invest in a number of different markets.
Some of the investment funds investing in emerging markets are higher risk than those investing in more established markets. Emerging markets may involve additional market, currency, legal and regulatory and liquidity risks. The high volatility in such markets could result in the investors suffering substantial losses.

BEA Union Investment Series

BEA Union Investment Series as an umbrella fund has within it different sub-funds investing in equities and/or bonds, each with a different risk profile.
Sub-funds which invest in emerging markets may be subject to higher liquidity and volatility risks, while sub-funds which invest in a particular market or sector may be subject to higher concentration risk than funds following a more diversified policy.
Sub-funds which invest in lower-rated fixed income instruments, including below investment grade and non-rated debt securities, are subject to greater credit and liquidity risks than higher-rated securities.
Sub-funds may invest primarily in securities denominated in RMB or have exposure to RMB. It should be noted that the RMB is currently not a freely convertible currency as it is subject to foreign exchange control policies of the Chinese government. In addition, there can be no assurance that the RMB will not be subject to devaluation. Any devaluation of RMB could adversely affect the value of investors’ investments.
In terms of currency hedged class units of sub-funds, adverse exchange rate fluctuations between the base currency of the sub-fund and the class currency of the currency hedged class units may result in a decrease in return and/or loss of capital for unitholders. Over-hedged or under-hedged positions may arise and there can be no assurance that these currency hedged class units will be hedged at all times or that the manager will be successful in employing the hedge.
Investors may invest in RMB (Hedged) units of sub-funds. It should be noted that the RMB is currently not a freely convertible currency as it is subject to foreign exchange control policies of the Chinese government. There is also no assurance that the RMB will not be subject to devaluation. Any devaluation of the RMB could adversely affect the value of investors’ investments. There is no guarantee that the hedging strategy will be effective and investors may still be subject to the RMB currency exchange risk.
Sub-funds may enter into futures contracts and/or currency forward contracts for hedging and/or investment purposes. Given the leverage effect embedded in futures and currency forward contracts, a sub-fund may be exposed to significant losses.

Such distribution may result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per unit.

In addition to the use of QFII quotas, the sub-fund may have direct exposure to certain eligible China A shares via the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect which is subject to different risks, including quota limitations, clearing and settlement risk. Investment in the sub-fund involves significant risks relating to the PRC, including, among others, emerging market risks, social, political and regulatory risks.

BEA Union Investment China A-Share Equity Fund may be subject to the risks associated with changes in the PRC laws and regulations, including PRC tax laws, and such changes may have retrospective effect and adversely impact the sub-fund.

Such provisions may be excessive or inadequate to meet the actual tax liabilities. In case of any shortfall between the provisions and actual tax liabilities, which will be debited from the sub-fund's assets, the sub-fund's asset value will be adversely affected.
