Ideas
Tight public spreads drive investors to private credit.
Public market credit spreads have become extremely tight, which does not offer enough return for the risk taken on longer dates. This dynamic is driving long-term investors into private markets where they can pick up better spread and tailor covenants to fund the massive capital needs of AI infrastructure buildouts.
Market broadening favors Russell 2000 value stocks.
The US equity market is seeing a healthy broadening out beyond a concentrated group of tech names, with over 80% of companies beating earnings expectations. This broadening momentum makes risk assets attractive, with the Russell 2000 Value index notably outperforming the Nasdaq and S&P 500 year-to-date.
Shift allocations from Taiwan and Korea to China.
Investors are reweighting out of highly concentrated, AI-driven markets like Taiwan and South Korea and incrementally allocating to China. Valuations between Hong Kong and China are within normal ranges, the AI theme is more nascent with room to grow, and the IPO pipeline remains very strong.

Market dominance and peak seasonality will drive growth.
DSC Holdings dominates the Chinese used car dealer operating system market with over 90% market share. The company is poised for growth as used car sales volumes recently surpassed new car sales for the first time, and the company's adjusted net losses have narrowed significantly heading into its peak Q3 and Q4 seasons.
Constrained supply and strong demand support hardware leaders.
The AI semiconductor supply chain remains highly constrained with demand vastly outstripping supply, making hardware leaders highly attractive. Nvidia will maintain its dominant market share despite rising competition because of its superior total system design and large clusters optimized for training performance.
Profitable inference compute will accelerate CSP revenue.
Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) are a top holding because inference compute has proven to be highly profitable. As capital intensity rises to fund larger training models, CSPs will see their revenue accelerate as they generate cash flow from inference to fund their ongoing infrastructure investments.
Intense competition and funding challenges create high risk.
The competitive landscape for AI labs in China is much more intense than in the US, with multiple labs fighting for dominance. The funding environment is also significantly harder, meaning that falling behind on a single model iteration can cause a lab's ability to raise capital to drop off drastically.
AI accelerates drug discovery and drives significant profitability.
Insilico Medicine is demonstrating significant profitability, with first-half revenue jumping to over $106 million driven by multiple collaboration and licensing deals. The company's AI platform drastically accelerates preclinical drug discovery, cutting years off the traditional timeline and enabling scalable, novel therapeutic breakthroughs.
