UBS Chief Investment Office has updated its Greater China Alpha Opportunities preference list, shifting focus from post-COVID recovery beneficiaries to bottom-up alpha and structural growth themes. Key changes include adding Agricultural Bank of China (3.5%), removing four names, and adjusting weights across AI, semiconductor, and internet holdings.
Key Takeaways
- 1.UBS is shifting strategy away from post-COVID recovery trades to bottom-up alpha generation focused on policy support, corporate governance, competitive positioning, and supply-demand dynamics.
- 2.Agricultural Bank of China was added to the Most Preferred list with a 3.5% portfolio weight due to solid earnings growth, attractive dividend yields, and potential rerating from recapitalization.
- 3.Removed Dongfang Electric, Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals, Pop Mart, and Trip.com due to profit-taking or lack of near-term catalysts.
