Pan-Asia Index Rebalances/ Events/ Delta One

Periscope Analytics

Periscope Analytics focuses on event-driven trades across Asia Pacific and provides comprehensive, timely and systematic coverage of index changes to major Asia Pacific indices in a structured manner.

The analysis includes forecasted inclusions and exclusions to all major Asian indices that have significant amount of tracking assets, including estimates of passive buy/sell flow on the stocks. The service also provides commentary and impact of market consultations, ground rule changes, and other events (IPOs, spin-offs, M&A) that could lead to index changes and passive flow.

Periscope Analytics works with multi-strategy hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, stat arb trading groups and long-only investors that invest and trade in the Asia Pacific region with the data being used to trade index rebalances, avoid pre-positioning and passive flow, and to time entry into and exit from stocks.

Event-Driven Trades Across Asia Pacific

Event-Driven

<ul>
<li>Over 85% of the way through the review period, we see 14 potential index changes at the December rebalance that will be implemented at the close on 8 December.</li>
<li>We estimate a one-way turnover of 1.93% at the December rebalance leading to a one-way trade of CNY 6.93bn.</li>
<li>The huge inflow to passive trackers has led to the gap between the potential adds and deletes narrowing. That should reverse as passive will need to sell the deletes.</li>

<ul>
<li>The anti-corruption campaign has significantly accelerated since the beginning of this year. After Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has been involved, the anti-corruption efforts in pharmaceutical/device sectors would be unprecedented.</li>
<li>The main targets are leaders of hospitals/governments. The impact of anti-corruption on companies is indirect. As long as senior management are not investigated/arrested, the impact on stock price isn’t significant.</li>
<li>However, investors not only need to consider the problem of sales growth slowing down in the context of anti-corruption, but also consider whether companies is engaging in financial fraud. </li>

Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>It seems that Mr Market was not satisfactory with WuXi AppTec’s 2022H1 performance. If excluding COVID-19 projects (which are regarded as a one-time increment), the performance growth was not high.</li>
<li>Considering that the CXO preliminary bid winning has declined largely in the US, domestic CXO would not begin to gradually reflect the slowdown of newly added orders until Q4.</li>
<li>We are concerned about WuXi AppTec's performance in 2023. As an old generation CXO, it's hard to achieve V-shaped rebound. So, 2022 is a good time to offload the Company.</li>

<ul>
<li>Based on the current situation, sales of MCV4 in 2023 could still be unsatisfactory. We think MCV4 is hard to become the second growth curve of CanSino in post-COVID era.</li>
<li>Whether CanSino’s zoster vaccine is able to become Best-In-Class would largely determine whether this product would truly become the next blockbuster vaccine to turn the situation around for CanSino. </li>
<li>CanSino's commercialized products cannot contribute large-scale revenue in time to prevent continuous deterioration of performance. Results in 2023 could be lower than expected, and investors are losing confidence in CanSino.</li>
