MANAGER'S COMMENTARY (May 2012)
In May, the MSCI AC World Index experienced the 10th worst month on record (since 1988) as investors focused on the impact of Greece possibly leaving the Euro, the approaching "fiscal cliff" in the US, and weaker economic data from China.
Performance Summary
The continuation of strong environmental policies in China, combined with the moderation of Asian inflation and incremental policy relaxation, drove performance. ENN Energy (natural gas distribution, China) performed well as management did not raise the bid price for China Gas, which was taken as a positive. Sound Global (water and wastewater treatment, China) rose on expectations that the company will repay its CB and avoid a large dilution to shareholders, while Perusahaan Gas Negara (pollution control, Indonesia) was able to pass on higher gas prices.
Concerns over a potential Greek Eurozone exit, weak Asian export and industrial production numbers, and US imposed
anti-dumping duties on China made solar cells, all detracted from performance. NVC Lighting (buildings energy efficiency, China) underperformed following a change in the senior management team, while China Longyuan (renewable IPP, China) fell on concerns over dilution from a new equity issuance. Weak commodity prices impacted the performance of Sims Metal Management (metals recycling, Australia).
Positioning and Outlook
We expect to see a bottoming out of economic fundamentals during Q2, as moderating inflation allows more room for policy relaxation. Credit environment for infrastructure and SME sectors should improve during H2. Utilisation of LED equipment should continue to rise into peak season for consumer electronics during Q3, whilst industry consolidation in solar equipment should gain momentum. However, we remain cautious due to potential contagion from the uncertain external economic backdrop, namely in Europe.
Our quarterly environmental subsector outlook shows fundamentals improving across most subsectors. Pollution control and construction-related sub-sectors 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. China announced new subsidies for recycling of e-waste to be implemented on 1 July and the State Council announced new energy efficient appliance subsidies, while the Ministries of Finance and Housing unveiled a target for 30% of all new construction to be energy efficient by 2020. Japan unveiled four scenarios for its future energy mix target, including a scenario of renewables representing up to 35% by 2030. India set a target to double its renewables installation in its next 5 year plan to 2017, taking total renewables installations to 53GW. South Korea passed a bill to implement a cap and trade carbon scheme by 2015.
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 18% 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.
