While the worst-performing stocks in 2023 have gone down by an average of 17.6% YTD, their pick-up in the last month is significant at 19.9%. 
The cut in US interest rate and the Chinese government's stimulus measures will benefit the HSI, providing room for shifting position from heavily overweighted names to underweighted.

Li Ning (2331 HK), Meituan (3690 HK), Wuxi Biologics (2269 HK), and Zhongsheng Group (881 HK) are the key "dogs" in last year that are worth a look.
