Despite playing such a minor role in China investment portfolios, Materials allocations have been on the rise.  Current holding weights represent an 8-year high and the percentage of funds invested is at the top of the 6 year range.  Activity over the last 6-months shows some of the pure metal plays gaining tracking with China investors.  A further 11.2% of funds added Steel exposure over the period and 10.3% Aluminum.  In contrast, Construction Materials suffered outflows and a scaling back of exposure from active managers.We would highlight stocks such as <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/beijing-oriental-yuhong-a" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:3060:1" rel="noopener">Beijing Oriental Yuhong A (002271 CH) </a>, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/wanhua-chemical-group-co-a" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:5049:1" rel="noopener">Wanhua Chemical Group Co A (600309 CH)</a> , <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/shandong-sinocera-functional-material-a" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:6865:1" rel="noopener">Shandong Sinocera Functional Material (300285 CH)</a> , <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/china-molybdenum-co-ltd-d9c46a67-e31f-431f-9f5f-02222265d701" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:8585:1" rel="noopener">China Molybdenum Co Ltd H (3993 HK)</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/baoshan-iron-steel-co-a" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:3891:1" rel="noopener">Baoshan Iron &amp; Steel Co A (600019 CH)</a> as seeing investment levels rise from a very low base, having previously being off the radar for the majority of active China investors.Relative to 5-year history, allocations are now looking overstretched, but relative to 10 year history, allocations still have some way to go, and absolute weights are still tiny compared to the large allocations awarded to Consumer and Communication Services stocks.  In short, are the recent moves part of a short-term shift in momentum, or the early part of a longer-term structural shift?Taken from our active China fund universe, consisting of 116 funds with AUM $65bn.

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

MSCI Emerging Markets Index / Technical Analysis

Price and RS uptrends for the MSCI EM index continues to underpin our bullish outlook for emerging market equities -- remain overweight. We continue to attribute much of EM’s outperformance to the intact downtrend in the US dollar (DXY). As long as weakness in the DXY persists we believe EM’s outperformance is likely to continue.
