MANAGER'S COMMENTARY (April 2012)
Market Review
News flow and market sentiment have been mixed in April. Continued monetary loosening and a stronger than expected PMI reading in China was offset by political uncertainties in Europe, and mixed US economic figures. Meanwhile Asian export orientated economies, in particular South Korea and Taiwan, had rather weak export figures. Environmental policy momentum in Asia remained strong, but the high oil price caused concerns over increasing inflationary pressure.
Performance Summary
Gradual improvements in PMI and resumption of infrastructure spending in China, Japan's proposals to adopt generous solar feed-in-tariffs and India's energy efficiency targets for large polluting industries all contributed to performance in April. Manila Water (water supply utility, Philippines) performed well on a new project win and submission of a new investment plan to the regulator. Xinyi Glass (energy efficient glass, Hong Kong) rose on improving glass pricing, while Thai Tap (water supply utility) performed well having beaten Q1 earnings expectations.
Uncertainty in Europe over the French and Greek elections and weak export data from Korea and Taiwan, despite recovering US demand, detracted from performance in April. Selected stocks with weak Q1 results that led to underperformance included LG Chem (chemicals and efficient batteries, South Korea), Chroma (electronics manufacturing equipment, Taiwan) and Regent Manner (LED components manufacturer, China).
Positioning and Outlook
Our quarterly environmental subsector outlook shows fundamentals improving across most subsectors. Pollution control and construction-related subsectors are more positive on improving credit conditions while subsectors such as LEDs have recovered as the supply demand balance has become more favourable for equipment and product producers. The oversupply situation for renewables equipment remains acute, although we started to see some signs of industry consolidation.
Asian environmental policy momentum remains strong and government policies continue to be supportive for environmental sectors, particularly for energy efficiency and renewables, counterbalancing weakness from on-going renewable subsidy cuts in Europe. In Japan, the government's energy efficiency programme was expanded as the country continues to adjust to the post--Fukushima era. In China, a new LED--light subsidy program was introduced and 160bn Yuan in rural water infrastructure investment was announced. The US unveiled lower than feared import duties on Chinese solar equipment.
We are currently maintaining a well--diversified portfolio by subsector, reflecting a balance of defensive companies with visibility on earnings and high quality cyclical holdings. Energy efficiency remains a key subsector bias. Portfolio valuation remains compelling with portfolio PE of 11x based on NTM with 20% EPS growth. This represents a discount to global markets on a PEG ratio basis. The fund is positioned to perform well as the global economy continues to recover and longer term environmental themes play out.
