The complex macro picture has played squarely to the strengths of Premia's fixed income range, with every ETF in the lineup outperforming its mainstream investment grade (IG) and high-yield (HY) peers over the past six months. On the IG side, a constrained Fed pushing US long-end yields toward 5% makes a strong case to hold shorter duration bonds —while accommodative China liquidity and firm local demand underpinned Asia credit—drove the relative gains than the broader global IG universe. On the high-yield side, the Premia China USD Property Bond ETF significantly outperform the US and Asia HY peers along with the gradual recovery of China's property market, and has more than 660bps of spread still on offer for further compression toward the regional average. In this article, we explore how as this trend persists, the modular lineup offered by Premia's fixed income ETF range is increasingly turning today's fragmented macro environment into clear relative outperformance across both rating tiers.

Even if a peace deal is achieved soon, the writing is already on the wall for the US economy. Higher inflation and rates/yields appear inevitable. The double shocks of the Trump tariffs of 2025 and now the Iran War will exacerbate the inflation already working its way through the supply chain. In this article, our Senior Advisor Say Boon Lim discusses why as US equity valuations appear increasingly mispriced, with current multiples severely challenged by a rising discount rate, Asian emerging markets are gaining recognition as a resilient alternative. China's exit from deflation is emerging as a positive signal in particular, as improving earnings growth prospects and technological development could together present a compelling alpha opportunity.

As Iran conflicts closed off the Strait of Hormuz and sparked the ongoing oil price shock, global equity saw abrupt drawdown in Q1 as geopolitically anxious investors turned risk-off and quickly adjusted portfolios. Amidst that heightened volatility, contrary to broad market correction across both onshore and offshore Chinese equities, the Premia China Bedrock Economy strategy flourished, while the Premia China New Economy and Premia China STAR50 managed to get through the quarter nearly unscathed and remain well-positioned for policy tailwinds and hard tech structural growth as the 15th Five-Year Plan kickstarted. In this article, Dr. Phillip Wool, Global Head of Research of Rayliant Global Advisors, discusses about the macro and factor-level backdrop of China A share performance in Q1 2026, and drivers for continued optimism for onshore equities this year.

With US technology stocks under pressure from high valuations and risk-off sentiment from high beta trades amid heightened global market volatilities given geopolitical tensions, China advanced tech sector offers a well-supported and timely alternative for investors looking to diversify. The numbers speak for themselves: over the past two years, the hardcore technology focused STAR50 Index gained 77.3%, comfortably ahead of the Nasdaq's 40.2%. China has put innovation at the core of its long-term growth plan, with strong government backing for AI, semiconductors, and advanced manufacturing. Under Beijing’s domestic substitution policy, Chinese companies are rapidly replacing foreign technology with homegrown solutions, and earnings forecasts are being revised higher. In this article, our Partner & Co-CIO David Lai discusses the policy signals emerging from China's 15th Five-Year Plan and explores how investors can tap into these opportunities through our Premia China STAR50 (3151 / 9151 / 83151 HK) for focused exposure to China's leading hardcore technology companies, as well as our Premia China New Economy (3173 / 9173 HK) that provides broader coverage across nearly 300 holdings spanning the full new economy landscape.

Last December China launched a major national venture capital fund, a national guidance fund and three large regional funds (Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Greater Bay Area), all designed to channel billions of development capital into "hard technology" sectors like semiconductors, AI, and biomedicine to fast track its trajectory to overcome the current choke points and achieve technology independence amid persistent geopolitical tension. Meanwhile, Bloomberg reported that China is also considering a US$70 billion package of incentives to boost its semiconductor industry. These are only the latest in a string of boosters: China had already announced numerous measures over the past two years, estimated to value almost US$100billion, to lift capabilities in its chip sector. In this article, we reviewed China's ongoing efforts in the global chip race, and how under rapid acceleration in domestic substitution across cutting-edge logic chips, memory foundries, and AI models, our China New Economy (3173 / 9173 HK) and China STAR50 (3151 / 9151 / 83151 HK) strategies are uniquely positioned to capture these structural opportunities.
