Greater China equities rallied strongly during the first three quarters of 2025, with the third quarter delivering solid gains, with upward earnings revisions. Heading into the final quarter of the year, we remain constructive, supported by the US Federal Reserve (the Fed) interest rate cutting cycle, Mainland’s demand-side stimulus, potential strategic priorities in the 15th Five-Year Plan, continued recovery in corporate earnings and robust fund inflows. While tariffs remain one of the major risks, we think Mainland has sufficient ways to manoeuvre various scenarios with strong localisation and global capabilities.

  • Not another bubble: How semiconductors are powering a real future

    Semiconductors sit behind almost every modern experience – from smartphones and cars to cloud computing and today’s AI tools – yet they remain largely invisible to most people. They are more than chips only, and the demand is being supported by several long-term forces. We believe that today’s semiconductor excitement is not a repeat of the dot-com bubble, as investment is tied to real infrastructure and revenue-generating services. And the opportunity is broader than a handful of headline AI names.

  • Global Equity Diversified Income (GEDI) strategy update: Risks and opportunities

    In early April, developments in the Middle East showed signs of stabilisation, prompting a partial recovery and renewed risk-taking in equity markets.

  • Global tech and semiconductors: what’s been driving returns and what to watch next

    Semiconductors have been one of the strongest parts of global equity markets so far in 2026, with performance supported by a powerful mix of demand and improving fundamentals. The headlines have focused on artificial intelligence (AI), but the opportunity set is broader than a single theme or a handful of companies. As AI infrastructure expands, it is driving investment not only in high-performance computing chips, but also in the networking and power technologies that keep modern data centres running. At the same time, parts of the industry outside AI are showing early signs of stabilisation and recovery.
