4 Review: A-share Strategy A-share market likely to deliver 20% annual return in Macro: 2014 will be different from previous years as: Investors have downgraded expectations for the Chinese economy; A new round of reforms is likely to improve economic potential, balance and quality; and Earnings: we expect A-share earnings to grow 15.2% 2014 ( top-down); Valuation & Liquidity: CSI300 valuation at historical low in terms of PE/PB, Small-mid caps valuation at historical high; growth recovery has supported some moderate valuation expansion in large cap index. Real reforms will arouse revaluation of China. Sectors: We suggested buying three types of sectors towards the end of 2013: 1) Real estate, building materials and steel; 2) Mass consumer goods such as home appliances, foods and beverages; 3) Securities firms and insurance companies; Investors should also keep a close eye on the rail, shipping, airline, healthcare and media sectors. Meanwhile, we remain bearish on base materials (e.g. coal and non-ferrous metals) and sectors with stretched valuations and a gloomy outlook (e.g. electronic components). 3
5 2014 global markets: Facts In 2014, A-share market largely outperformed, Shanghai composite index jumped by 49%. H-share underperformed A-shares. The H- share market and Hong Kong HSI Index increased by 1%. US outperformed, NASDAQ +14%, S&P500+12%. Some EM, such as India (+30%), Indonesia (+20%), and Thailand (+18%) also rallied.

6 Preview: GDP growth will recover modestly in 2015 China s GDP growth will be 7.3% in Slowing real estate investment will continue to drag down overall investment growth, but consumption will grow steadily, improving the structure of domestic demand. Policy easing and the ongoing reforms will help the economy recover to its potential growth rate. We expect GDP growth to rebound to 7.5% in CPI inflation is expected to be 1.4% or below in Inflation usually lags over the economic cycle, and will likely remain subdued amid weak domestic demand. We expect GDP QoQ growth to rise in 2H15 and CPI QoQ growth to rise in 2H15 GDP QoQ (NBS, SAAR) GDP YoY % 10 CPI QoQ (SAAR) CPI YoY % Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 2013: 7.7% 2014E: 7.4% 2015E: 7.3% Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 2013: 2.6% 2014E: 2.0% 2015E: 1.4% 0.0 Source: CEIC, CICC Research 5
7 The macroeconomic policies need to quickly adjust to the new normal The macroeconomic policies need to quickly adjust to the new normal, given the economy has entered a new normal growth phase of 7~7.5% as compared to the average ~10% in the past decade. Relative to the speed of economic slowdown, policy response has been slow. Targeted easing by the central bank lacks transparency and effectiveness in guiding expectations. Despite the government s repeated call for lowering financing costs, the real riskfree interest rate remains high, in stark contrast to other major economies. Current monetary policy is still tight Real interest rates are high Total social financing YoY % 40 Real interest rate of consumer % Real interest rate of invester Real interest rate of home buyer Source: CEIC, CICC Research 6
8 Obstacles to broad policy easing are waning The reforms launched since the 3rd plenum of the 18th CPC Central Committee are improving resource allocation, thus reducing any potential side effects from monetary easing. The property market has cooled down, removing another constraint on policies. Falling inflation, especially falling oil and property prices, has granted room for significant monetary easing. We expect the PBOC to cut the and cut benchmark interest rates in Fiscal deficit is expected to expand slightly in 2015, lending support to economic growth as well.

11 We hold positive opinions on 2015 A/H markets Policy easing will reduce market interest rate and improve liquidity, which should encourage risk taking and mitigate tail risk in economic growth. Structural reforms should continue to improve China s growth quality and sustainability. Valuations of current A/H markets are at low levels. 10

18 2015 China Outlook: Bull market for stocks and bonds; more for stocks We expect China s A/H market to gain ~20% in Policy easing will reduce the market interest rate and improve liquidity, which should encourage risk taking and mitigate tail risks in economic growth. The decline in the real interest rate will likely boost the CSI 300 s 12-month forward P/E from 7.6x to ~8x. 2.Structural reforms should continue to improve China s growth quality and sustainability. our top-down A-share growth forecast is 10.6% for Increase exposure to interest rate-sensitive sectors Our sector allocation ideas for 2015 are based on three key factors: Policy easing, continued structural reforms and global technological progress. Specifically, we suggest: 1.Increasing exposure to real estate, securities firms, insurance names and small/medium-sized banks. 2.Overweight consumer sectors with stable growth and inexpensive valuations, such as healthcare, food & beverage and internet & media; as well as pick stocks from other consumer sectors, such as retail, home appliances, auto & parts and tourism. 3.We are less optimistic on oil & gas, apparel & textiles, telecoms and tech hardware. Investment themes, market styles and model portfolio Investment themes: possible investment themes include: SOE reform and land system reform. Market style: We expect the market to favor blue chips over small-mid caps due to reforms and policy easing. 17
19 2015 H-share Outlook: A year of policy easing & structural reforms Return expectation: ~28% upside by end China is entering a policy easing cycle. A lower real interest rate should help reduce tail risks and encourage risk taking 2.Ongoing structural reforms might become much broader and more comprehensive, reinvigorating China s longer-term growth potential 3.Current subdued valuations mean H-shares are still an attractive sweet spot among global markets, with ample room for further re-rating Earnings to recover on better revenue growth and higher margins; falling EPR and rates to lift valuations After a likely soft patch in 2014 (+7.4% YoY), we expect H-share earnings growth to recover to 10.5% in 2015, boosted especially by non-financials (13.3% vs s 5.7%), thanks to both better revenue growth and higher margins. Implementation: time to add cyclical exposures We believe it is time to gradually add exposure to cyclical sectors and quality consumer names with solid growth visibility and reasonable valuations. Specifically, we would overweight financials (real estate, banks, insurers and brokers) among the old plays, and internet and healthcare in the new space. We suggest underweighting telecom, retail, apparel, etc. In terms of thematic investment opportunities next year, we would watch SOE reforms, mass consumption amid further urbanization, population aging, and environmental protection, etc. 18
