Seize investment through China’s technological revolution1

At the Central Economic Work Conference last December, China's top leaders identified several priorities for 2024 including:

  • Advancing scientific and technological innovation
  • Boosting consumption in areas like electric vehicles (EVs)
  • Promoting green and low carbon growth

 

China aims to become a global artificial intelligence (AI) leader by 2030, with its core AI industry valuing over RMB 1 trillion and supporting industries valuing over RMB 10 trillion4.

 

 

Capitalise on China’s green economy transition

China’s Five Year Plan aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining a sustained economic development. Sectors will have to be developed with a low carbon intensity such as digital technologies and other high tech industries.

 

Government subsidies to boost EV sales7

As global electric vehicle (EV) uptake rises, world demand for lithium is forecasted to double between 2025 and 2030. The shift of global economies towards a more environmentally friendly growth path presents significant opportunities for China, as the country is a prominent player in the green ecosystem.

  • China is encouraging consumers to trade in their petrol cars for EVs by offering subsidies of up to RMB 10,000
  • The Chinese government also unveiled a RMB 520 billion package of tax breaks for EVs in June 2023
  • These measures are supportive of China’s EV sector, one of the main drivers of its economy

 

China’s thriving healthcare sector

China’s drive for self sufficiency in healthcare and the recent pandemic has led to the sector’s growth and strong policy support for domestic healthcare companies.

 

ChiNext Index performance10

 

Low correlation with major indexes and asset classes

The ChiNext Index offers diversification benefits for investors due to its relatively low correlation with major broad market indexes and alternative asset classes. It can be used as a satellite component in a core-satellite portfolio.

This implies that as one security moves, either up or down, the other security moves in lockstep, in the same direction. A perfect negative correlation means that two assets move in opposite directions, while a zero correlation implies no linear relationship at all.

This document is for general information only. It does not constitute an offer or solicitation to deal in units (“Units”) in the UOBAM Ping An ChiNext ETF (the “Fund”) or investment advice or recommendation and was prepared without regard to the specific objectives, financial situation or needs of any particular person who may receive it. The information contained in this document, including any data, projections and underlying assumptions, are based upon certain assumptions, management forecasts and analysis of information available and reflects prevailing conditions and the views of UOB Asset Management Ltd (“UOBAM”) as of the date of this document, all of which are subject to change at any time without notice. In preparing this document, UOBAM has relied upon and assumed, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of all information available from public sources or which was otherwise reviewed by UOBAM. While the information provided herein is believed to be reliable, UOBAM makes no representation or warranty whether express or implied, and accepts no responsibility or liability for its completeness or accuracy. Nothing in this document shall, under any circumstances constitute a continuing representation or give rise to any implication that there has not been or there will not be any change affecting the Fund. No representation or promise as to the performance of the Fund or the return on your investment is made. Past performance of the Fund or UOBAM and any past performance or prediction, projection or forecast of the economic trends or securities market are not necessarily indicative of the future or likely performance of the Fund or UOBAM. The value of Units and the income from them, if any, may fall as well as rise, and is likely to have high volatility due to the investment policies and/or portfolio management techniques employed by the Fund. Investments in Units involve risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested, and are not obligations of, deposits in, or guaranteed or insured by United Overseas Bank Limited (“UOB”), UOBAM, or any of their subsidiary, associate or affiliate (“UOB Group”) or distributors of the Fund. The Fund may use or invest in financial derivative instruments and you should be aware of the risks associated with investments in financial derivative instruments which are described in the Fund's prospectus. The UOB Group may have interests in the Units and may also perform or seek to perform brokering and other investment or securities-related services for the Fund. Investors should note that the Fund is not like a conventional unit trust in that an investor cannot redeem his Units directly with UOBAM and can only do so through the participating dealers, either directly or through a stockbroker if his redemption amount satisfies a prescribed minimum that will be comparatively larger than that required for redemptions of units in a conventional unit trust. The list of participating dealers can be found at www.uobam.com.sg.

An investor may therefore only be able to realise the value of his Units by selling the Units on the Singapore Exchange Limited (“SGX”). Investors should also note that any listing and quotation of Units on the SGX does not guarantee a liquid market for the Units. An investment in unit trusts is subject to investment risks and foreign exchange risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. Investors should read the Fund’s prospectus, which is available and may be obtained from UOBAM or any of its appointed agents or distributors, before deciding whether to subscribe for or purchase any Units. You may wish to seek advice from a financial adviser before making a commitment to invest in any Units, and in the event that you choose not to do so, you should consider carefully whether the Fund is suitable for you. The Fund is not in any way sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by and/or its affiliates and SGX and/or its affiliates make no warranty or representation whatsoever, expressly or impliedly, either as to the results to be obtained from the use of the ChiNext Index (the “Index”) and/or the figure at which the Index stands at any particular time on any particular day or otherwise, The Index is administered, calculated and published by SGX. SGX shall not be liable (whether in negligence or otherwise) to any person for any error in the Fund and the Index and shall not be under any obligation to advise any person of any error therein. “SGX” is a trademark of SGX and is used by the Index under license.
