Digest Analysis

Quick Take

"The fund underperformed in Q3 by avoiding overvalued AI stocks that drove market gains. The manager views current AI valuations as unsustainable, similar to China's COVID rally peak in 2021."

Executive Summary

The Guinness China A Share Fund returned 23.6% in Q3 2025, underperforming the MSCI China A Onshore Index by 1.4 percentage points. The fund's underperformance was driven by avoiding overvalued AI stocks that led market gains, with the manager comparing current valuations to the peak of China's COVID rally in early 2021. Key contributors included stock selection in Communication Services and an overweight to Industrials, while detractors were the lack of exposure to AI names like Foxconn Industrial Internet and Cambricon Technologies. The fund sold Shenzhen H&T Intelligent after its strong rally as it no longer offered attractive returns. Despite weak macroeconomic data, Chinese equity markets surged led by expensive onshore AI names. The manager believes 70-90% of these AI stocks' valuations are based on uncertain future cash flows. While the broader market trades above long-term averages at 16.3x forward P/E, the fund remains attractively valued at 18.0x, below its historical average of 19.6x.
