<li>SOUTHBOUND was again a net buyer, for HK$24.1bn this week, on smallish two-way volumes. Banks, Tech, Energy, and Materials all saw inflows.</li>
<li>It is not clear how much of this is H/A discounts, expected dividend tax removal, shareholder return KPIs for SOE CEOs, upcoming Third Plenum policy, or national team buying...</li>
<li>But valuations are acceptable. Flows are good. Policy changes are afoot. SOUTHBOUND may continue to see inflows - national team and otherwise.</li>
