Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>China's swift and sudden abolishment of its Covid rules triggered across-the-board outperformance for Hong Kong stocks. The HSI is up ~13% since early December 2022. </li>
<li>A strong rebound of inbound tourism and the resumption of normalised travel between Hong Kong and the mainland should underpin the city's recovery.</li>
<li>The retail sector, notably the high street shop segment, should lead this post-Covid recovery in terms of both rents and prices. </li>
