There are 4 inclusions that will have over 1 day of ADV to buy from passive funds while there are 15 deletions that will have over 1 day of ADV to sell. The actual impact could be higher as cash and carry baskets are rebalanced and active managers reposition their portfolios to no deviate too far from their benchmark.The inclusions have outperformed the deletions by 15% over the last month and while there could be a pop in the returns over the next few sessions, we recommend gradually exiting existing positions and re-entering prior to implementation on a selloff in the trade.

Equity Bottom-Up

At present, although the competition of PD-1/PD-L1 is becoming more and more fierce in China, it has to be admitted that, compared with the global market share of about 55%, domestic monoclonal antibodies only occupy 6% of the biopharmaceutical market share, so there is still a broad space and growth potential. Meanwhile, with PD-1/PD-L1 products of the domestic top four companies (<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/jiangsu-hengrui-medicine-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:14128:1" rel="noopener">Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine (600276 CH)</a>, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/beigene-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:27352:1" rel="noopener">BeiGene Ltd (6160 HK)</a>, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/innovent-biologics-inc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:27452:1" rel="noopener">Innovent Biologics Inc (1801 HK)</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/shanghai-junshi-bioscience-h" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:27760:1" rel="noopener">Shanghai Junshi Bioscience Co. Ltd. (1877 HK)</a>) being included in medical insurance catalogue, the pricing of PD-1/PD-L1 products of these four companies would be the ceiling for all subsequent homogeneous enterprises. The only companies that are capable of joining the competition are those with the best products and strong commercialization capability. Actually, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/akeso-biopharma-inc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:28830:1" rel="noopener">Akeso Biopharma Inc (9926 HK)</a> could be the very one to challenge the top four. Besides, as a competitive and strong biotech company, Akeso is also moving in the direction of a Big Pharma.

Recently, according to the official website, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/everest-medicines-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:29224:1" rel="noopener">Everest Medicines (1952 HK)</a> announced that its sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (SG, Trodelvy) was granted Priority Review by the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). This marks another progress following the Company's announcement that the NMPA accepted its Biologics License Application (BLA) for SG for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who have received two or more prior systemic therapies, at least one of them for metastatic disease. The BLA submission of Trodelvy, the core product candidate of Everest Medicines, was substantially earlier than the Company's previous guidance and our expectations, so it is expected that Trodelvy would contribute sales revenue much earlier, and the Company’s commercialization prospect has reshaped.

On April 28, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/lepu-biopharma-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:33231:1" rel="noopener">Lepu Biopharma (LBP HK)</a>, a subsidiary of <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/lepu-medical-technology-a" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:16654:1" rel="noopener">Lepu Medical Technology A (300003 CH)</a>, submitted its application to the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for listing. Actually, many companies in the medical device industry are good at capital operation, such as M&amp;A or spin-off and listing, which has been reflected in the leading medical device companies such as <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/shenzhen-mindray-bio-medic-a" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:28017:1" rel="noopener">Shenzhen Mindray Bio-Medical Electronics (300760 CH)</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/microport-scientific-corp" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:4487:1" rel="noopener">Microport Scientific (853 HK)</a>. However, Lepu Medical is the only one that enters the fields of both drugs and preparations, and according to the pipeline, the focus is not only on generic drugs, but also on biological drugs of higher competitive dimension (e.g. Lepu Biopharma is in this field.). It is also worth mentioning that this is the second company of Lepu factions to be listed in Hong Kong. The first one was <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/pw-medtech-group-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:9891:1" rel="noopener">Pw Medtech (1358 HK)</a> (Zhang yue’e is Pu Zhongjie’s wife) and the share price has been very weak since its listing. So can Lepu Biopharma have a better performance?
