 <li>
Privatization to Fuel Transformation: SAMTY HOLDINGS was delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange on January 30, 2025, following a successful tender offer by Hillhouse Investment. This move is intended to provide the company with the flexibility to transition its business model from a capital gains-dependent developer to an integrated real estate investment and asset management platform with a focus on stable, recurring income.</li>
 <li>
Shift to Asset Management and Recurring Revenue: The core of the new strategy is to significantly expand its fund and asset management business. The company is establishing development and core funds, leveraging Hillhouse's global investor network to grow assets under management (AUM) and generate stable fee-based income. This marks a strategic pivot from the traditional model of developing and selling properties.</li>
 <li>
Aggressive Growth and Expansion: Post-privatization, SAMTY has been actively launching new funds, including a second hotel-focused fund and a $500 million multifamily fund with a sovereign wealth fund. The company is also expanding its geographical footprint with the acquisition of UniLodge, the largest student accommodation operator in Australia and New Zealand, signaling its ambition to become a key player in the Asia-Pacific region.</li>

Remain BULLISH Keisei Electric Railway Co (9009 JP)  with low conviction. This is buying on narrative rather than fundamentals but there is no need to not get involved.

Vitasoy Intl Holdings (345 HK)'s share price run up is excessive as Philip Ng andYeo Hiap Seng (YHS SP) over-extend their hand.

Nec Networks (1973 JP) has yet to trade below terms. The premium is small, perhaps reflecting the risk NEC will lower the minimum threshold. But there is still a fight here.
