China is the world’s second largest economy today on a purchasing power parity basis, and is projected to grow faster than developed markets over the next two decades.1 As China transforms into a service-oriented and technology-driven giant, it may provide an attractive landscape for investing. 

Lombard Odier Investment Managers takes a sustainability-integrated and rigorous selection approach focusing on the sectors and companies it expects to benefit most from China’s evolution.

why invest?

LO Funds – China High Conviction seeks to capture the growing opportunities in China equities through an actively-managed high conviction portfolio1.

China’s economic miracle is perhaps the most well-known of our generation, but today, domestic consumption is the main driving force of growth.2

 

Fast growth, profound change

China is forecast to grow faster than the rest of the world, creating diverse opportunities for investors. However, the country remains under-represented in global equity indices.3 

China is changing. It is transforming into a services-driven economy, with domestic consumption a key driver of growth. Urbanisation, growing productivity and continuing investment in R&D are also adding to the emergence of China as a technology giant. 

We believe our disciplined high conviction approach is key to capturing China’s rising stars.

Selective and diverse 

We target attractively-priced companies, using disciplined analysis focused on financial track record and sustainable business practices

To navigate economic cycles, we diversify across three themes: 

Quality value: stable, profitable but undervalued businesses with dominant market positions 
High growth: businesses with potential for market share gains 
Events: candidates for turnaround or upgrades with some risk mitigation factors
