Asia Pacific Leaders Sustainability

Asia Pacific Leaders Sustainability

The Asia Pacific Leaders strategy invests in large and mid-sized companies which generally have a total stock market value of at least US$1 billion. 

The Asia Pacific Leaders strategy was originally launched in December 2003 and invests in large and mid-sized companies which generally have a total stock market value of at least US$1 billion (hence ‘Leaders’).

This equity-only strategy seeks to invest in between 30 to 60 high-quality businesses in the Asia Pacific region (including Australia and New Zealand, but excluding Japan) that are helping bring about a more sustainable future.

Strategy update: Q2 2024

Asia Pacific Leaders Sustainability strategy update: 1 April - 30 June 2024

Over most three-month periods, there should be relatively little change in the portfolio. We aim to build resilient portfolios of high-quality companies with diversified streams of cash flows that have the ability to grow in value over the long term.

During the quarter, extremely short-term volatility spiked in the immediate days before and after the election in India. Sober reflection on the increased accountability of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the victory for democracy meant Indian equities quickly resumed a more positive direction. At Stewart Investors we studiously avoid companies that are influenced or impacted by politics.

There were no new investments added to the portfolio this quarter. However, we took advantage of lower valuations in China to add to Shenzhen Inovance (China: Industrials) and Techtronic Industries (Hong Kong: Industrials). We also continued to build the position size in Samsung Electronics (South Korea: Information Technology) and Samsung Biologics (South Korea: Health Care).

We also controlled the size of largest position Mahindra & Mahindra (India: Consumer Discretionary) as well as Tech Mahindra (India: Information Technology), Kotak Mahindra Bank (India: Financials) and HDFC Bank (India: Financials). We reduced OCBC Bank (Singapore: Financials) as we believe we have better ideas elsewhere.

In terms of complete divestments, we sold WuXi Biologics (China: Health Care) after a proposed bill in the United States Congress aimed to restrict some Chinese biotech business tie-ups with United States companies due to national security concerns. It was a mistake to invest in WuXi Biologics given the geopolitical risk to which it is exposed. We sold Kingmed Diagnostics (China: Health Care) due to the company’s regulatory exposure. Despite the value provided to customers, it is difficult for us to assess the risk of forced pricing cuts for these Chinese companies amidst reductions to government healthcare spending and we have therefore exited our position. We reappraised franchise development and quality at Pigeon (Japan: Consumer Staples), Infineon Technologies (Germany: Information Technology) and Telkom Indonesia (Indonesia: Communication Services). This resulted in complete divestments from these positions. 

Views on investment opportunities in Asia have not changed; the strategy continues to look to invest in high-quality companies that are aligned with sustainable development. We look for stewards who are low profile, competent, long-term decision makers, franchises free from political agendas and financials that are resilient, not frail. Our focus is on quality, and we remain indifferent to many of the large, well-known companies, regardless of lower valuations.

Stewart Investors Quarterly Client Update Q2 2024

1 April - 30 June 2024

Quarter update

Risk factors

This material is a financial promotion for the Stewart Investors strategies – Asia Pacific and Japan Sustainability, Asia Pacific Leaders Sustainability, Asia Pacific Sustainability, European Sustainability, European (ex UK) Sustainability, Global Emerging Markets Sustainability, Global Emerging Markets Leaders Sustainability, Indian Subcontinent Sustainability, Worldwide Sustainability and Worldwide Leaders Sustainability – and is intended for professional clients only in the UK, Switzerland and EEA and professional clients elsewhere where lawful.

Within the EU/EEA and Switzerland, the European (ex UK) strategy is only available to investors via a segregated mandate account.

Investing involves certain risks including:

  • The value of investments and any income from them may go down as well as up and are not guaranteed. Investors may get back significantly less than the original amount invested.
  • Emerging market risk: Emerging markets tend to be more sensitive to economic and political conditions than developed markets. Other factors include greater liquidity risk, restrictions on investment or transfer of assets, failed/delayed settlement and difficulties valuing securities.
  • Indian Subcontinent risk: although India has seen rapid economic and structural development, investing there may still involve increased risks of political and governmental intervention, potentially limitations on the allocation of the strategy’s capital, and legal, regulatory, economic and other risks including greater liquidity risk, restrictions on investment or transfer of assets, failed/delayed settlement and difficulties valuing securities.
  • Specific region risk: investing in a specific region  may be riskier than investing in a number of different countries or regions. Investing in a larger number of countries or regions helps spread risk.
  • Currency risk: the strategies invest in assets which are denominated in other currencies; changes in exchange rates will affect the value of the strategies and could create losses. Currency control decisions made by governments could affect the value of the strategies’ investments and could cause the strategies to defer or suspend redemptions of shares.
  • Concentration risk: the European Sustainability and Worldwide Leaders Sustainability strategies referred to in this material invest in a relatively small number of companies which may be riskier than a strategy that invests in a large number of companies.
  • Smaller companies risk: investments in smaller companies may be riskier and more difficult to buy and sell than investments in larger companies.

Where featured, specific securities or companies are intended as an illustration of investment strategy only, and should not be construed as investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any security.

If you are in any doubt as to the suitability of our strategies for your investment needs, please seek investment advice.

Investment philosophy

  • We are stewards: Our role is to allocate society’s capital to productive uses, in accordance with our Hippocratic Oath
  • We are long term: Our time horizon is measured in years, not weeks, and we value companies accordingly
  • We invest only in companies contributing to a more sustainable future: We engage constructively as owners to help companies on their sustainability journeys
  • We invest only in high-quality companies: We seek out companies with exceptional cultures, strong franchises and resilient financials
  • We believe capital preservation is important for capital growth: We define risk as the possibility of the permanent loss of client capital

Investment objective

To generate attractive long-term, risk-adjusted returns by investing in the shares of high-quality companies that are particularly well positioned to contribute to, and benefit from sustainable development.

Strategy update: Q1 2024

Asia Pacific Leaders Sustainability strategy update: 1 January - 31 March 2024

Over most three-month periods, there should be relatively little change in the portfolio. We aim to build resilient portfolios of high-quality companies with diversified streams of cash flows that have the ability to grow in value over the long term.

During the quarter we initiated three new positions in Samsung C&T (South Korea: Industrials), Techtronic Industries (Hong Kong: Industrials) and MediaTek (Taiwan: Information Technology).

Samsung C&T is the holding company for Samsung Biologics with sizeable positions in group companies such as Samsung Electronics (c.5%).

Samsung Biologics is a world leader in affordable healthcare. Samsung Electronics is a global leader in consumer electronics and chip manufacturing.

In its core business, the company is aiming to invest into areas with strong demand tailwinds such as renewable energy and battery recycling. The group aims to improve governance practices by returning excess cash to shareholders, cancelling treasury shares, improving profitability in core assets and articulating a clear strategy for future capital allocation.

Techtronic Industries is dominant internationally in an array of cordless, hand, measuring and trade power tools for both home and commercial use. They have ownership of strong brands in consolidated areas which results in pricing power. The company is positioned well to grow organically and by acquisition.

MediaTek is a fabless (outsourced production) semiconductor company. They are leaders in integrated chip system solutions which are estimated to power over two billion devices a year from smartphones to home entertainment, connectivity and the internet of things (IoT) products.

We exited Altium (Australia: Information Technology) and HDFC Life (India: Financials). We sold Altium after it was approached by Japanese listed Renesas Electronics for acquisition at 37% premium to the prevailing market price. HDFC Life was sold to fund better ideas elsewhere. We reduced Pigeon (Japan: Consumer Staples) as we have lost conviction in the speed and extent of the evolution of the franchise.

We took advantage of lower valuations in China and continue to build positions in Midea (China: Consumer Discretionary), Shenzhen Inovance Tech (China: Industrials), Glodon (China: Information Technology) and WuXi Biologics (China: Health Care). We also topped up the holding in Samsung Electronics (South Korea: Information Technology).

To finance new investments and our latest additions, and to control position size we trimmed holdings in Tata Consumer Products (India: Consumer Staples), Mahindra & Mahindra (India: Consumer Discretionary), Godrej Consumer Products (India: Consumer Staples), Tech Mahindra (India: Information Technology) and Bank Central Asia (Indonesia: Financials).

Views on investment opportunities in Asia have not changed; the strategy continues to look to invest in high-quality companies that are aligned with sustainable development. We look for stewards who are low profile, competent, long-term decision makers, franchises free from political agendas and financials that are resilient, not frail.

Strategy update: Q4 2023

Asia Pacific Leaders Sustainability strategy update: 1 October - 31 December 2023

Over most three-month periods, there should be relatively little change in the portfolio. We aim to build resilient portfolios of high-quality companies with diversified streams of cash flows that have the ability to grow in value over the long term.

High-quality companies at reasonable valuations tend not to come along too often. In the absence of such opportunities, we are very comfortable long-term owners of companies in the portfolio.

During the quarter we initiated two new positions in Samsung Biologics (South Korea: Health Care) and Wuxi Biologics (China: Health Care). We have admired the Samsung Biologics franchise for many years. They have expanded production capacity quickly and efficiently which has helped them to increase wallet share with existing clients and win important new clients. Our more constructive stance on governance at the Samsung Group was another important consideration. We have also been studying Wuxi Biologics for a number of years. It is a leading contract research provider and manufacturer for pharmaceutical companies. The stewards have spent the last decade nurturing strong relationships with customers across geographies, and are building on their research relationships to scale up manufacturing services. The nature of the business, where the timeline from drug discovery to manufacturing can be decades, means that long-term customer relationships are crucial, and the trust built is difficult to disrupt. In terms of additions, we continued to build our holding in Midea (China: Consumer Discretionary), the largest home appliances business in China.

There were no complete divestments during the period. We trimmed Tata Consumer Products (India: Consumer Staples) and Tech Mahindra (India: Information Technology) to control position size. We also reduced the holding in CSL (Australia: Health Care). We are still long-term supporters of this extremely high-quality franchise but consider there to be marginally better risk-reward opportunities elsewhere.

Strategy update: Q3 2023

Asia Pacific Leaders Sustainability strategy update: 1 July - 30 September 2023

Over most three-month periods, there should be relatively little change in the portfolio. We aim to build resilient portfolios of high-quality companies with diversified streams of cash flows that have the ability to grow in value over the long term. High-quality companies at reasonable valuations tend not to come along too often. In the absence of such opportunities, we are very comfortable long-term owners of companies in the portfolio.

During the quarter, we initiated a position in Samsung Electronics (South Korea: Information Technology). We have long admired the strength of the Samsung Electronics franchise which should benefit from strengthening geopolitical headwinds and a desire to reduce dependence on Taiwanese manufacturers. Samsung Electronics demonstrates an impressive ability to generate cash and boasts a solid balance sheet. A recent visit to South Korea prompted a reappraisal of the quality of governance which has improved significantly. We also initiated a position in Midea (China: Consumer Discretionary) which is a manufacturer of home appliances. Midea is a high-quality franchise where the stewards are investing cash flow from their dominant market position, in exciting new technologies and automation to enhance growth prospects.

We also added to holdings in OCBC Bank (Singapore: Financials), Glodon (China: Information Technology) and Telkom Indonesia (Indonesia: Communication Services).

We sold the holding in Infosys (India: Information Technology). We recognise that Infosys is an extremely high-quality company but feel there are better risk-reward opportunities available. We also sold Foshan Haitian Flavouring (China: Consumer Staples) where we have increasing concerns about franchise development. In addition to these sales we trimmed holdings in Tata Consumer Products (India: Consumer Staples), Dabur (India: Consumer Staples) and Godrej Consumer Products (India: Consumer Staples) on valuation. We also reduced Kingmed Diagnostics Group (China: Health Care) on increasing concerns about governance.

To control position sizes we trimmed holdings in Mahindra & Mahindra (India: Consumer Discretionary), Shenzhen Inovance Tech (China: Industrials) and CSL (Australia: Health Care).

Proxy voting by country of origin

During the quarter there were 225 resolutions from 23 companies to vote on. On behalf of clients, we voted against six resolutions.

We voted against the appointment of the auditor at Glodon and Yifeng Pharmacy Chain as they have been in place for over 10 years and the companies’ have given no information on intended rotation. We believe rotating an auditor on a relatively frequent basis (e.g. every 5-10 years) helps to ensure a fresh pair of eyes are examining the accounts, and follows best practice. (two resolutions)

We voted against a proposal regarding transaction of business at Kasikornbank as the company provided insufficient detail on the proposal and we wish to avoid unfettered discretion. (one resolution)

We voted against the proposed employee stock ownership plan at Midea as we believe non-executive director involvement could lead to a conflict of interest and would not be in shareholders' interest. (three resolutions)

During the quarter there were 78 resolutions from 11 companies to vote on. On behalf of clients, we voted against 24 resolutions. 

We voted against the Board re-election at ResMed as we were not able to vote against individual directors and opted to vote against Mr P Farrell who retired from the company 10 years ago and we believe he should step down from the board. We voted against the company’s executive remuneration, as we believe it to be complex and measured on many adjusted metrics. We also voted against the re-appointment of the auditor as they have been in place for 29 consecutive years. (24 resolutions - the resolutions for this company are duplicated as one vote instruction is for the company’s global meeting and the other is for the company’s domestic meeting) 

We abstained from voting on the approval of a renewed liability insurance for Directors, Supervisors, and Senior Management at Midea Group as we did not have sufficient information on the details of the insurance policy at the time of voting. (one resolution)

We could not find any reasons behind the sale nor the valuation at which the transaction would happen. (one resolution)

We voted against the appointment of the auditor and the company’s ability to set auditor fees at Vitasoy as they have been in place for over 10 years and the company has given no information on intended rotation. We believe rotating an auditor on a relatively frequent basis (e.g. every 5-10 years) helps to ensure a fresh pair of eyes are examining the accounts, and follows best practice. (one resolution)
