Fullgoal Asset Management has received approval from the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) to offer the Fullgoal China Small-Mid Cap Growth Fund to Hong Kong’s retail investors.

This will be the firm’s first retail fund in Hong Kong.

The China Small-Mid Cap Growth Fund is a Luxembourg-domiciled Ucits Sicav product and was launched in 2016 to professional investors.

The product is co-managed by chief investment officer Zhang Feng and fund manager Ning Jun, both of whom are based in Hong Kong.

Strategy

At least two-thirds of the fund invests in Hong Kong- and US-listed stocks of companies with operations mainly in China, Hong Kong or Macau.

The top three holdings — Shanghai Fudan Microelectronics, New Oriental Education and Alibaba — make up almost 20% of the entire portfolio.

The managers may also invest up to 30% of its assets in China A-shares via the Hong Kong-China connect schemes or through the renminbi qualified foreign institutional investor (RQFII) programme.
