Divergent consumer demand for logistics services widens

Autonomous Vehicles: A Data Center on wheels

We expect Vehicles that are largely autonomous to become commonplace by the middle of the decade. This revolution in mobility will require a wholesale re-engineering of the automobile electronics architecture and industry – creating an effective ‘Data Center on Wheels’. Auto OEMs, who were far behind two years ago, are coming back with strength but we think the best investment opportunities will lie with suppliers of automotive semiconductors and software.

Our perspectives

"We see Common Prosperity as one of the 5 key themes for China into the 14th Five Year Plan and beyond. Economic prosperity should come first before '3 degree of wealth distribution' - thus we see this thesis might play out with more upside than the market expects, without sacrificing China's long term economic growth potential."

David Ching, Head of China Strategy and China Materials

"As sustainable finance continues to mature into a core element of the financial services industry in Asia, investors need to be ahead of the curve when using ESG data to properly assess earnings risks and opportunities."

Charles Yonts, Sector Lead for Asia ESG

"We expect leading After School Training players will accelerate consolidation… the pandemic also has provided an opportunity for online education to gain wider exposure. Going forward, we expect the Online-Merge-Offline (“OMO”) model to become the norm in the AST sector."

Linda Huang, Sector Lead for Consumer & Education
