2 July 212 Introduction is one of the most volatile markets in the region, a result of the dominance of interest-rate sensitive stocks. ROEs are below the Asian average, but the market deserves a premium to reflect optimism on longterm growth for as one of China s financial centres, but also the low risk attached to its market. Market structure In the last decade, the market has fluctuated between 1, (during the SARS epidemic in 23) and 3, in 27, when China related stocks traded at high multiples. This volatility is partially explained by the market structure. Although the top-five stocks account for only 35% of the market low compared with the rest of Asia they are all of a similar nature. Financials, including banks, real estate and insurance, account for 61% of the market. It is more concentrated than Malaysia, India, China, Korea or Taiwan.

3 July 212 Correlations On average, tends to trade in line with the rest of the Asian market when it comes to sensitivity and correlations with global or local indicators. This is partly because the market, one of the largest and most liquid markets, sets the tone for the rest of the region.

The sharp recovery in recent years has been driven by real estate and s exposure to China, a reflection of Chinese earnings which are also above trend. This is one of the key reasons why is a relatively volatile market in Asia. Banks and real estate are both volatile, interest sensitive sub-sectors. Large declines were seen during the Asian Financial Crisis in 1998 and smaller declines were evident during the 23 recession (including a period when the SARS epidemic swept the city).

4 July 212 Earnings estimates have actually declined in recent years, with 12-month forward EPS growth now being forecast to be flat to negative, down from EPS estimates of 2% at the peak in 21.

At its worst, a decline of 2% was projected in 28. This gradual decline in earnings downgrades has led to analysts toning down their recommendations and becoming fairly neutral on the market. Since 23, analysts have been generally optimistic on their ratings (based on recommendation consensus score, or RCS). This is after very bearish views in the Asian Financial Crisis and the 22 recession. Part of this structural shift towards optimism comes from China. When looking at Chinese recommendations, a similar structural shift can be noted. Even in 28, when global financial turmoil hit, analysts were at worst slightly bearish.

On average the market PE hovers around 15x, with peaks of over 2x in 26 and a 1x trough in 28. The average PE in the last decade is 15.8x. 4
5 July 212 All sectors, except utilities, offer good value compared with their own history. Relative valuations show that tends to trade at a 2-3% premium to the rest of Asia. ROEs have hovered around 8-1% in the last decade with a peak in 27 (12%) and a trough in 28 (6%). With ROEs not substantially higher than the rest of the region, most of this can be explained by positive views on growth (think China) and lower perception of risk (lower cost of capital). : PE band chart Relative valuation Price level Dec-2 Feb-4 Apr-5 Jun-6 Aug-7 Oct-8 Dec-9 Feb-11 25x 2x 15x 1x Apr PE:HK/Ax J This coincides with a narrowing of the difference between bond and earnings yields, i.e. stocks were expensive in 26 during the height of optimism on Chinese growth and cheapest in 28-9 during times of financial turmoil. : PB vs ROE/COE (12-month forward) : Earnings and bond yields PBR ROE/COE 12 1 BY EY Source: MSCI, Thomson Reuters Datastream, Bloomberg, HSBC Source: MSCI, Thomson Reuters Datastream, Bloomberg, HSBC 5
6 July 212 Fund flows While in large parts of Asia foreign investors have been steady accumulators of equities (e.g. Indonesia, India), in this is not the case. Investors have, in general, been overweight equities throughout the cycles. On a cumulative basis since June 23, mutual funds are net sellers of USD1.7bn equities, with a net accumulation of only USD6bn in 27 and a net outflow of USD2bn in 28.

As its manufacturing base moved moving over the border into Guangdong province, its service industry has grown rapidly. Donna Kwok Economist The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited donnahjkwok@hsbc.com.hk This enabled the city to survive three recessions in the decade to 28, during which GDP growth averaged 4.7% annually and income per capita rose by almost a third to USD32,9 (ranked fourth highest in Asia today after Japan, Singapore and Macau). Over time, this process has also turned domestic demand into an increasingly driver of growth. Private spending has contributed more to growth than net merchandise exports since the end of 21. As a result of China easing travel restrictions, the number of mainland tourists to has surged from 4.5m in 21 to 2m in 211, outnumbering visitors from all other countries combined. This has boosted retail sales but also increased commercial rents and property prices. Economic policy primer Trade matters to not because of the actual production of exports, but because of the financing, marketing, distribution, buying and selling of manufactured goods. These entrepôt services not manufacturing itself are what keeps the city s trade machine humming. Manufacturing used to account for over a fifth of the economy in the 198s but less than 3% today; entrepôt services now account for 37% of the economy (21% from imports/exports and 16% from business logistic services), compared with 22% three decades ago. Increasing integration with China, through trade, tourism, and financial links, has helped underpin economic growth. The mainland has long been s largest trading partner, accounting for about half of s exports by value. is also the premier stock market for Chinese firms 6
