Executive Summary

The Value Partners Asian Innovation Opportunities Fund delivered a strong return of 41% during 2025, capitalizing on structural growth drivers across Asia's technology sector. Initially faced with trade uncertainties and policy risks, performance accelerated significantly in the second half of the year as global liquidity improved and expectations of US rate cuts firmed. The fund's performance was driven primarily by global artificial intelligence investment cycles, which bolstered earnings visibility and capital expenditure for holdings in the semiconductor, memory, and technology hardware sectors. To capture these trends, the manager actively managed portfolio exposure, ending the year with equities as the dominant allocation. Geographically, the fund pivoted toward Taiwan and South Korea as its largest exposures, given their critical roles in the global tech supply chain. Concurrently, Hong Kong allocations were scaled back to rebalance into high-quality innovation leaders. Looking ahead, while near-term geopolitical risks and US policy shifts may induce volatility, a stabilizing macroeconomic outlook for China and a softer US dollar provide a supportive backdrop for Asian risk assets. The manager maintains a constructive medium-term view, emphasizing highly selective deployment due to elevated valuations.
