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