Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>RemeGen’s revenue declined in 22H2, leading to lower-than-expected performance last year.However, 2022’s low base is good for the growth this year,especially when non-COVID treatment returns to normal after China reopens. </li>
<li>We analyzed our revenue forecast on RC48 and RC18. We don't think there should be big difference between the market value of RemeGen and Akeso. So, RemeGen’s valuation is attractive.</li>
<li>The sentiment in HKEX has changed this year, so the trading strategy should be different. The pullback could be a buying opportunity, especially for good biotech companies such as RemeGen.</li>

Technical and Quantitative Research

Vermilion Research

Vermilion’s objective is to deliver timely, actionable, and unique technical research to professional investors through the application of our various technical indicators.

Our research strategists seek to highlight securities which we believe are at major inflection points, based on our various technical and quantitative indicators, and offer asymmetric risk/return profiles. Our unique research methodology, centered on relative strength, enables our strategists to deliver superior investment recommendations.

Our process begins by organizing the universe of actively traded stocks into discrete sectors, then into industry groups. We then apply our technical and quantitative tools to identify developing price trends. Once attractive trends are identified within a selected sector or group, we screen for individual stocks which we believe offer the best risk/reward profile. We provide a historical perspective that often reveals, through our long-term charts, how price patterns often repeat themselves over time.

Technical Analysis

<ul>
<li>The MSCI EM vs.EAFE ratio (local currency) shows EM has outperformed relative to EAFE since the DXY peaked in November 2022, and also shows signs of reversing the 2-year downtrend.</li>
<li>As long as the DXY remains below $103.50-$106, we expect outperformance from EM to continue.</li>
<li>China/Hong Kong, Greece, South Africa, and Mexico stand out as attractive countries. Our top actionable Sectors include Communications, Consumer Discretionary, and Technology. We highlight 76 attractive EM stocks.</li>

<li>Unlike ADC, there're still doubts on the outlook of whole bispecific antibody mechanism. Alphamab Oncology doesn't actively promote related head-to-head trials, which makes people doubt the competitiveness of its products.</li>
<li>Investors' trust in Alphamab Oncology continues to decline, mainly because the Company often missed the guidance/milestones it announced before. This will greatly affect the credibility of Alphamab Oncology.</li>
<li>The current valuation is expensive and has basically priced in all the positive factors. The Company is more suitable for short-term trading to capture the rebound rather than long-term holding.</li>

<li>New policy was released to support the development of surgical robots in China, which would be short-term catalyst for related companies, but it may not bring high profits.</li>
<li>In fact, since March, it may not be appropriate for healthcare companies to use the COVID-19 as a reason if their performance in the following months is not as expected.</li>
<li>Before DRGs/DIP policy becomes very “lethal”, there is a “policy vacuum period” in the next two or three years, which is a good opportunity to go long in China healthcare.</li>
