Investment Philosophy

We believe active investment management creates value for our investors. We pursue the steady wealth growth for the investors through investment on the quality companies which offer steady earnings growth and long-term investment value. We adopt bottom-up investment analysis approach and look for growth companies with long-term competitiveness and investment opportunities generated by the underestimation of the market through in-depth analysis of the companies and their developing environment.

Under general circumstances, we grasp the investment opportunities through investment on the quality companies when the market inefficiency occurs and the steady growth in earnings per share is underestimated by the market. Our investment philosophy is based on the following three principles,
We invest on the companies with high quality management team and outstanding franchise.
We strongly believe the earnings per share growth facilitates the long-term increase of the stock price.
We make great endeavor to set reasonable price for the potential earnings per share growth of the companies.

Besides stock investment, we also actively resort to the relative value analysis system to assess the relative investment value of the various fixed income products, the financial derivatives and stocks with the aim to raise the investment return of the fixed income products for the investors through active management of investment portfolio.
