Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>A stabilizing property market matters more than other factors such as industry rivalry and shareholder return policies for the performance of leading China e-commerce players in our view.</li>
<li>China's worst property market downturn is probably behind us. This will gradually help restore consumer confidence and lift consumer propensity to spend, improving growth outlook for China e-commerce sector.</li>
<li>We believe China e-commerce players will in general benefit from a stabilizing housing market. Alibaba remains the most attractive play in the space. </li>

We believe China e-commerce players will in general benefit from a stabilizing housing market. Alibaba remains the most attractive play in the space.
