Outperformer from first news of successful vaccines. Emerging ASEAN has been one of the best performers among major global equity indices since the start of November. And that was likely due to the region’s high economic leverage to normalisation after the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines and its high trend GDP growth rates relative to other Emerging Market economies.

To summarize the year of 2020, the opening lines from Charles Dicken’s A Tale of twin cities sounds like an accurate description. It was certainly the best of times and the worst of times. Global equities have been doing reasonably well with developed market up by 12.0% and emerging market up by 11.7%. Fixed income managed to gain by 7.4% whilst gold price was up by 19.1%. On the other hand, real economy has been suffering from the pandemic with almost all major economies getting into recession. International Monetary Fund sees the world would contract by 4.4% in total output, the worst crisis since the 1930s Great Depression with -5.8% among advanced economies and -3.3% on developing countries.

From a total portfolio perspective, global asset owners and allocators are increasing wary about the overall portfolio sensitivity to interest rate changes and ultimately risk diversification. The concept of “equity duration” was raised long ago and has been subject to debate for decades. While some absolute calculations fail to work in today’s markets, we believe the economic and financial intuition beneath still hold. In this working paper, we took a renewed approach to analyze the relationships from a relative perspective and with an overarching objective of total portfolio risks in mind.

As business activities in China mostly resume to a normal level, we also observed some mean-reversion in factor returns, and interesting rotation in sector returns. Still, China A shares continue to outperform the US and global equity markets. With “high-quality” growth emphasized by the 14th Five-Year Plan and “Dual Circulation”, we believe “Quality Growth” will continue to be the main tone of China A equities.

So, it is official: Exit Donald Trump, enter President Joe Biden. And when the cheering and crying is done, we are likely to see that the election meant more emotionally to Americans than it does economically for the nation, or financially for the markets. The big economic and market trends are unlikely to be changed by the election.

The term "dual circulation” is one of the hot searches in China and receives great attention after President Xi first expressed this idea at a top official meeting held earlier this year. He then elaborated further that China’s economic model will be involving an internal circulation developing a substantial domestic market, and an external circulation deepening the international trade. The latest meeting of Communist Party’s Central Committee reinforced this policy will be the core component of the 14th five-year plan for the development between 2021 and 2025.

The latest economic data confirms the upward trajectory of Chinese growth, putting China on track to be the only major economy to register growth for the full year 2020. And it highlights the attractiveness of China’s asset markets and supports the case for continued outperformance against other major markets.

Chinese new economy stocks, led by battery and semiconductor names, have reclaimed the outperformance against the broader market year-to-date, shrugging off ongoing US-Iran geopolitical noise. This resilience is underpinned by a combination of macroeconomic reflation, structural policy support, and accelerated technological self-reliance. On the macro front, China has officially exited factory deflation after more than three years. This is a critical inflection point: Goldman Sachs research shows that equities perform best when growth stabilizes alongside steadily rising inflation, with a concurrent PPI rate in the 0-4% range generating the highest historical returns across 1- to 12-month horizons. This reflationary tailwind is being amplified by targeted sector developments. In the battery and renewable space, the government summoned 16 leading manufacturers to restrict unchecked capacity expansion and curb price wars. Furthermore, the NDR’s new Order No. 41 raises thresholds for energy storage stations. Together, these moves force the industry to transition from “scale expansion” to “high-quality development”, directly benefiting top-tier power equipment and ESS producers. Simultaneously, the push for semiconductor self-reliance is accelerating. Reports indicate that DeepSeek’s highly anticipated V4 model will run on Huawei AI chips instead of Nvidia GPUs–a massive endorsement of domestic AI infrastructure that sparked a rally in local names like Cambricon. Should this reflationary momentum continue, new economy stocks are positioned to widen their outperformance gap. Investors forced on upstream hardware can capture this through our Premia China STAR50 ETF. For a broader play on this innovative growth story–spanning semiconductors, AI, EVs, and biotech–our Premia CSI Caixin China New Economy ETF offers an optimal, diversified approach.
