<li>Nearly 85% of the way through the review period, we see 2 changes using a 12-month minimum listing history, and 5 changes using a 6-month minimum listing history.</li>
<li>Given the significantly higher market cap of the inclusions using a 6-month minimum listing history, we expect the index committee will continue to use the shorter listing history requirement.</li>
<li>With 5 changes a side, one-way turnover is estimated at 5.15% and will result in a one-way trade of CNY 3,994m. Impact on some deletions is quite high.</li>

<li>The 20th National Congress highlighted the importance of autonomy and controllability of key supply chains. So, the most obvious opportunity in China healthcare is import substitution.</li>
<li>For the investment logic of import substitution, we’re more inclined to focus on medical devices sector rather than pharmaceutical sector due to more obvious policy catalysts and higher certainty.</li>
<li>We analyzed our top picks (both medical device sector and others in 2023). After a challenging year, we think that China healthcare in 2023 would be very promising.</li>

Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>The fake news about China reopen and the COVID-19 vaccine business are the major driving force for the rally of CanSino’s share price. However, such rally would not last long.</li>
<li>CanSino didn’t perform well in Q3 and 2022 would be a difficult year for CanSino. The major turning point of CanSino performance still lies in MCV4, not COVID-19 vaccines. </li>
<li>CanSino's H-share valuation has become more reasonable,but the downside risk in HKEX is hard to predict. Investors could consider offload and secure the gains. There’s better opportunity to long ahead.</li>
