10 April 2019: HK/China Small & Mid-caps Corporate Day 2019

HK/China Small & Mid-caps Corporate Day 2019

Wednesday, 10 April
UBS Hong Kong Offices

Why small mid-caps?

Post a challenging year of 2018 with MSCI China index down -20%, sentiment has improved coming into 2019, with expectations of policy and liquidity easing in China, boosting up the index by 12% YTD. Will this spread out to small mid-caps, given MSCI China small mid-caps now is only trading at 8.4x forward PE? We think it's the time to revisit small mid-caps in April, post their annual results. Come and join us!

How to find small mid-caps ideas in 2019?

We expect investors to be more selective, with a focus on fundamental earnings quality and valuation margin of safety. We believe there could be chances in certain cyclical names with earnings turnaround potential. In some relatively undervalued (vs A Share) names in "popular" sectors, and maybe in the relatively "new" names which were listed in recent years but with more attractive valuations now.
