JOHCM Asia ex Japan Small and Mid Cap Fund J O Hambro Capital Management (JOHCM)

Fund Description

Fund manager Cho-Yu Kooi, based in our Singapore office, shares the same investment philosophy and approach as Samir Mehta, manager of the all-cap JOHCM Asia ex Japan Fund, both fund managers having worked alongside one another for many years prior to joining JOHCM in 2011. She employs a fundamental-based, predominantly bottom-up investment approach. She focuses on Asian companies with quality, sustainable, long-term growth hallmarks. These are businesses that can grow over economic and liquidity cycles and which generate high returns on the financial capital that they employ.The Fund generally consists of stocks with a market capitalisation of less than US$6 billion while close attention is paid to liquidity.

Investment Strategy

The team’s investment philosophy is based on the following beliefs:

There are pricing inefficiencies in Asian stock markets, the greatest of which are at the individual stock level. This is, therefore, where Cho Yu focuses her investment resources, with approximately 70% of total value added expected to come from fundamental stock selection
Value creation in a company is driven by long-term growth and the ability to generate returns above its cost of capital. They, therefore, focus on companies displaying long-term sustainable quality growth characteristics
Detailed analysis and regular interaction with company management is vital. The team’s analysis gives them the conviction to take a long-term investment view, meaning that turnover is low. Asian markets are frequently driven by macroeconomic and political factors that are separate from stock-specific considerations. These markets have a history of giving high returns but also with high volatility. The team aims to blend their growth stock focus with cyclical exposure that is valuation-driven and based on top-down views.

Reasons To Invest

The team has long experience of investing in smaller Asian companies. Both fund managers have approximately 20 years investment experience working in Asia and have spent nearly half of their investment careers working together
Most of the team’s past performance has come from stock selection across a wide range of market capitalisations. They are benchmark agnostic and many of their positions are in off the beaten track names that are not widely owned by our competitors. Within a programme of Asian / Emerging Markets managers, the team’s Asian small cap portfolio should therefore contribute diversification benefits to clients
The team has decided to limit capacity in the small and mid-cap strategy to US$1bn, and to focus on broad regional mandates (with or without Australia). Capping the level of assets enables them to access attractive investment opportunities and to preserve the consistency of their style for their clients. Avoiding asset gathering behaviour ensures that they can grow with our clients and not at their expense
The team has a proven ability to generate outperformance in both rising and falling markets. With the region’s history of positive but volatile returns, this is essential to delivering consistent outperformance to investors
Turnover in the strategy is low and the team conducts thorough due diligence before making a buy decision. This means that they avoid costly and unnecessary trading which will help enhance returns to clients

The information provided on this webpage is for professional advisers only. The value of an investment and the income from it can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount invested. This may be partly the result of exchange rate fluctuations in investments which have an exposure to foreign currencies. You should be aware that past performance is no guarantee of future performance.

Investors should note that this strategy invests in emerging markets and such investments may carry risks with failed or delayed settlement and with registration and custody of securities. Companies in emerging markets may not be subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards or be subject to the same level of government supervision and regulation as in more developed markets. Government involvement in the economy may affect the value of investments in certain emerging markets and the risk of political instability may be high. The reliability of trading and settlement systems in some emerging markets may not be equal to that available in more developed markets which may result in problems in realising investments. Lack of liquidity and efficiency in certain of the stock markets or foreign exchange markets in certain emerging markets may mean that from time to time the Investment Manager may experience difficulty in purchasing or selling holdings of securities. Furthermore, due to local postal and banking systems, no guarantee can be given that all entitlements attaching to quoted and over-the counter traded securities acquired by this strategy, including those related to dividends, can be realised.

Strategy Highlights

As at 31 August 2021

Asian equities rebounded in August with India and ASEAN countries the star performers as investors took shelter from the ongoing regulatory crackdown across several sectors in China. The Chinese government’s imposition of lockdown restrictions as the country experienced its worst Covid-19 outbreak since the initial outbreak also weighed on Hong Kong and Chinese equities. In the latter half of the month, investors cheered the US Federal Reserve’s reassuring comments that while it may consider tapering bond purchases later this year, it is in no rush to hike interest rates.

The fund outperformed in August, bolstered by our overweight positions in India and ASEAN which helped to offset some of the losses in China and Hong Kong. During the month, we reduced our weighting in China as we locked-in gains in one of our long-standing holdings which has done extremely well despite the sell-off in the general market this year. We also sold out of two of our China stocks where corporate developments disappointed. The cash raised was used to fund our purchases in Taiwan, India and ASEAN.

Established in Taiwan in 1988, Airtac produces pneumatic components such as actuators and control components, and linear guides which are used in the manufacturing equipment deployed in a wide range of industries like automotive, electronics, machinery, medical, textile and packaging. As the second largest pneumatics component supplier in China, Airtac is a major beneficiary of the structural factory automation trend amid an increasing shortage of factory workers and rising labour costs in China. In the last eight years, the company has gained about 11% market share in China to reach 23%, primarily from its Japanese peer with cheaper and similar quality products, shorter purchase order lead times, an improving product portfolio and more prompt customer service. Indeed, Airtac targets to achieve a market share of 30% by 2025.

Another growth driver for the company is in linear guides which it has ventured into since 2018. With a larger addressable market of Rmb25 billion (versus Rmb20 billion for pneumatic components), and the potential for cross-selling opportunities as about two-thirds of their customers also require linear guides, Airtac is confident of gaining traction in this category. By employing a similar strategy of offering high quality products at a price discount to its peers, and providing superior customer service, the company has got off to a promising start. Airtac’s market share gain in pneumatic components has not come at the expense of margins as it is also focused on operational excellence such as raising its production automation and vertical integration to shorten its production cycle and to cut costs, and centralising its warehouses to reduce expenses. In addition, we like Airtac’s rosy revenue growth prospects, high return on equity and strong balance sheet.

Standardised Performance

Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. The value of an investment and the income from it can fall as well as rise as a result of market and currency fluctuations and you may not get back the amount originally invested. Investing in companies in emerging markets involves higher risk than investing in established economies or securities markets. Emerging Markets may have less stable legal and political systems, which could affect the safe-keeping or value of assets. The Funds investment include shares in small-cap companies and these tend to be traded less frequently and in lower volumes than larger companies making them potentially less liquid and more volatile.

Environmental and Social Characteristics

Amongst other characteristics, the Fund promotes environmental and social characteristics and invests in companies that apply good corporate governance. JOHCM Funds (Ireland) Limited, the Fund’s manager, has therefore categorised the Fund as meeting the provisions set out in Article 8 of EU Regulation 2019/2088 on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector (“SFDR”).

J O Hambro Capital Management Limited (“Investment Manager”) seeks to avoid sectors which contribute to significant social and environmental harms. The Investment Manager uses ESG performance indicators to assess and monitor its investments as well as within the investment decision-making process.

In addition to considering ESG key performance indicators, the Fund applies exclusions to support the avoidance of harms. In order to reduce the adverse environmental impact of the Fund’s portfolio and in particular its contribution to climate change, the Investment Manager excludes investments in any companies which derive 10% or more of their revenue from thermal coal mining, coal-based power generation, oil and gas extraction and production, or from unconventional oil and gas. Also excluded are companies which derive 10% or more of their revenue from activities which contribute to social harms, in particular, gambling, weapons and tobacco. These selection criteria may not be disapplied or overridden by the Investment Manager.

See full details on the implementation of the exclusions below.

The Investment Manager recognises that ESG factors can create risks and opportunities for companies and looks for companies who may benefit from this by incorporating ESG factors into their analytical framework and portfolio construction.

In order to measure and monitor the environmental characteristics of the Fund, the Investment Manager will review the carbon footprint of the portfolio and environmental data published by its investee companies. For the social characteristics of the Fund, the Investment Manager will review whether investee companies have implemented appropriate policies and structures to support sustainable business practices.

Governance

Investee companies must follow good governance practices. This requires investee companies to adhere to minimum standards in various areas including sound management structures, employee relations, remuneration of staff and tax compliance. The Investment Manager is a signatory to the UK Stewardship Code 2012, is requesting to be a signatory to the UK Stewardship Code 2020 (together the “Code”) and is a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (the “UNPRI”). As a signatory to the Code and the UNPRI, the good governance practices of investee companies are assessed by the Investment Manager prior to making an investment and periodically thereafter.

Index

The Fund uses the MSCI AC (All Country) Asia ex-Japan Index for performance fee calculation purposes only and it is not, nor is it intended to be, aligned and/or consistent with the environmental and social characteristics promoted by the Fund.

Periodic Reports

A description of the extent to which environmental and social characteristics are met will be available as part of the annual report which will be published on this website once available. The Fund’s most recent annual report does not include any information pursuant to SFDR.

Implementing exclusionary screens

In implementing our exclusionary screens, we utilise the business involvement screening service offered by our third-party provider, ISS. As such, we rely upon ISS’s business involvement definitions, data and assessments. Further details are available on request.

The exclusion criteria referred to above will be applied prior to making any investment and the Fund’s portfolio will be monitored for any investments which breach these exclusion criteria on a periodic basis.
