KUALA LUMPUR: UOB Asset Management (M) Bhd (UOBAM Malaysia) has launched the United Intelligence Series – Greater China Fund (UIS-GCF), offering Malaysian retail investors exposure to Greater China equities through a feeder fund structure.
In a statement, UOBAM Malaysia said the fund invests a minimum of 90% of its net asset value (NAV) into the United Greater China Fund (target fund), which is managed by UOB Asset Management (UOBAM) in Singapore.
The target fund aims to provide retail investors with long-term capital appreciation primarily through investment in companies with assets or revenues across the consumer discretionary, financial, and information technology sectors.
Chief executive officer Lim Suet Ling said the target fund focuses on the Greater China region comprising of Mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, and Taiwan.
“It’s a market at the crossroads of innovation, consumption, and global connectivity, creating a range of equity opportunities for retail investors.”
UOBAM Malaysia said in a more complex market environment, China remains focused on long-term priorities including domestic consumption, technological advancement and its transition towards carbon neutrality by 2060.
Hong Kong continues to serve as a key financial gateway, while Taiwan’s leadership in advanced semiconductor manufacturing supports opportunities linked to artificial intelligence and digitalisation.
Together, these factors underpin selective exposure across the consumer discretionary, financial and information technology sectors.
In response to the differentiated dynamics across Greater China, UOBAM leverages its proprietary AI-augmentation to enhance data analysis and risk assessment supporting active asset allocation and broaden market coverage.
This enables portfolio managers to build risk-optimised portfolios complemented by fundamental security selection by experienced analysts.
