Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the recent significant decline in the AH premium, which has dropped from a peak of 144% in early April to 125% currently, marking a new low since 2020. This decline is attributed to the strong performance of the Hong Kong stock market and the continuous inflow of southbound funds, raising questions about the pricing logic of the AH premium and its future trends [2][20]. Group 1: AH Premium Dynamics - The AH premium arises from differences in investor structure and market mechanisms between the two markets, with the fundamental reason being the existence of arbitrage barriers [3][4]. - The premium is influenced by various factors, including liquidity differences, refinancing systems, trading mechanisms, dividend taxes, and currency exchange rates [4][20]. - Historical data shows that the AH premium has fluctuated significantly across different phases, with the current low being influenced by the performance of the financial sector and the overall market environment [8][9][13]. Group 2: Recent Changes in AH Premium - The recent rapid decline in the AH premium is attributed to three main factors: accelerated inflow of southbound funds, increased attractiveness of dividend-paying stocks, and a wave of quality companies listing in Hong Kong [20][25][29]. - Southbound funds have seen a significant increase, with inflows reaching 9,008 billion HKD this year, surpassing the total for the previous year [20][21]. - The structure of listed companies in Hong Kong has improved due to a surge in IPOs, with many high-quality firms transitioning from A to H shares, enhancing the market's appeal [29][32]. Group 3: Future Outlook of AH Premium - The long-term trend suggests a potential convergence of the AH premium, driven by the continuous attractiveness of dividend stocks and the increasing proportion of southbound funds [37][40]. - However, the premium is unlikely to be completely eliminated due to persistent differences in market mechanisms and investor structures [41][42]. - The current level of 125% is viewed as an "invisible bottom" for the AH premium, serving as a potential timing signal for market movements [42][47].

Group 1 - The article discusses the disparity between high expectations for foreign capital inflows into the Chinese market and the weak reality of actual investments [2][3] - There is a belief that foreign capital may rebalance from U.S. assets to China due to concerns over the safety of dollar-denominated assets, but actual inflows have not materialized significantly [2][3] - Data from EPFR indicates that the allocation of active foreign capital to China has decreased, contradicting the optimistic views held by some investors [3][5] Group 2 - Investor sentiment has shown subtle changes, with a shift from a strong bullish outlook to a more cautious stance, particularly after the recent performance of major internet companies [11][13] - Some investors are now looking at opportunities in other markets, indicating a reversal from previous trends where capital was moving into China from other regions [14] - The focus has shifted towards structural opportunities and sector rotations rather than a broad market optimism, reflecting concerns about the rapid changes in market dynamics [15][16] Group 3 - Key areas of interest for foreign investors include dividend stocks, the impact of "anti-involution" policies, and the competitive landscape in the food delivery sector [15][16] - Concerns about economic growth and policy effectiveness are prevalent, with investors questioning the government's urgency in implementing supportive measures [16] - The premium of A-shares over H-shares has become a significant topic, with investors curious about the sustainability of this trend and its implications for market performance [16][17]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information about the report industry investment rating is provided in the content. 2. Report's Core Viewpoints - The Hang Seng Biotech Index (HSHKBIO) consists of 50 constituent stocks with notable investment scarcity, and foreign investors hold strong pricing power, influencing the AH premium. The index is affected by factors such as U.S. bond yields, credit spreads, and market liquidity [9][11]. - The index shows different correlations and trends with various factors, including a negative correlation with U.S. Treasury yields, a similar trend with Moutai Basket and Ning Portfolio, a closer alignment with A - share healthcare indices, and better performance when credit spreads widen [101][114][126]. - The trading behavior of foreign capital impacts the AH premium from aspects such as substitution, risk appetite, sentiment, and market liquidity [179][188]. 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents 3.1 Introduction - **Three Major Healthcare Sector Indices in Hong Kong Stocks**: There are three major industry indices in the Hong Kong healthcare sector: the HS Healthcare Index (68 constituents), the HS Biotechnology Index (50 constituents), and the HS Innovative Drug Index (37 constituents). The first two have high long - term correlation, and the Biotech Index can more effectively track the leading Hong Kong healthcare stocks due to its quarterly rebalancing [21][25]. - **Focus on Drugs and Medical Devices**: Hong Kong pharmaceutical stocks have scarcity as many innovative biotech companies are listed there before the STAR Market. The Biotech Index focuses on innovative drugs, medical devices, and CXO, different from A - share listed pharmaceutical enterprises [26][33]. - **The Low Proportion of AH Shares**: By April 2025, 13 AH shares in the index accounted for 17% - 20% of the index weight. Except for WuXi AppTec, the AH premium of other AH shares is generally around 1.5 - 2.0, and it may climb above 2.0 during market declines [38][42]. 3.2 Pricing Power - **Capital Structure**: Foreign and Hong Kong capital hold a dominant position (61% - 80%) in the Hang Seng Biotech Index. Since 2023, foreign capital has been reducing holdings, leading to a passive increase in the proportion of Southbound Stock Connect. By the end of March 2025, domestic and Chinese - funded institutions' investment proportion rose to 30% [51][55]. - **Proportion of Foreign Capital's Holdings**: Foreign capital holds controlling stakes in most individual stocks in the Hong Kong pharmaceutical sector, mainly from Europe and the United States. In 2024, U.S. - based foreign capital rapidly reduced its holdings, and some equity was transferred to the Qatar Investment Authority [60][64]. - **Belonging of Pricing Power**: From 2021 to 2025, foreign institutional investors had strong pricing power over pharmaceutical stocks, with more than half of the individual stocks showing a correlation coefficient exceeding 0.5 between their stock prices and the proportion of foreign holdings. Based on foreign ownership fluctuations for market timing has a long - term alpha effect [75][86]. 3.3 Sector Rotations - **The Index is Negatively Correltated with the U.S. Treasury Yield**: The HS Biotech Index has a significant negative correlation (- 0.84) with the 10 - year U.S. Treasury yield. Since 2024, its correlation with long - term Chinese bond yields has strengthened [95][101]. - **The Index Moves in Tandem with Moutai Basket and Ning Portofolio**: The Hang Seng Biotech Index, Moutai Basket, and Ning Portfolio are all dominated by foreign capital, tied to U.S. Treasury yields. They peaked simultaneously in 2021, with different maximum drawdowns [108][114]. - **The Index Tracks A - Share Healthcare Indices More Closely**: The HS Biotech Index shows stronger alignment with A - share healthcare indices and has diverged from U.S. biotech indices since 2024. After 2024, its trajectory is mainly driven by China's economic expectations [120][126]. - **The Index Paradoxically Outperforms When Credit Spreads Widen**: Credit spreads typically expand during macro - economic deterioration or industry profit headwinds. Widening spreads imply a higher probability of interest - rate cuts, boosting biotech valuations [133][139]. - **Hang Seng Sector Rotation Signals**: When the 10 - year U.S. Treasury yield declines, the elasticity of Hong Kong's major broad - based indices is Biotech > HSTECH > HSI; in the interest - rate hike cycle, HSI and HSTECH have stronger excess returns. When the 10 - year CGB yield rises, it is suitable to overweight the Biotech Index [147][158]. 3.4 AH Premium - **AH Premium Rate: Negatively Correlated with the Index**: The average AH premium of 13 AH shares from September 2022 to March 2025 has a high negative correlation (- 0.90) with the index, which may be due to the high elasticity of biopharmaceutical stocks and the significant influence of foreign capital transactions [165][166]. - **AH Premium: The Trading Behavior of Foreign Capital**: The trading behavior of foreign capital affects the AH premium from four aspects: substitution (long - term deviation in AH premium after the launch of the Mainland - Hong Kong Stock Connect), risk appetite (higher U.S. Treasury yields lead to a higher AH premium), sentiment (negative correlation between warrant PCR ratio and AH premium), and market liquidity (lower Hong Kong stock liquidity leads to a higher AH premium) [174][179][188].
