China Merchants China Direct Investments (CMCDI, 133 HK) published its quarterly “breakdown of total assets” as at 31 December 2024.

CMCDI doesn’t comment on its portfolio, so here is our take:

  • The net asset value on 31 December 2024 was HK$ 33.72 per share (or US$660 million in total), +3.7% from three months ago.
  • Discount to net asset value (NAV) has widened considerably. CMCDI is now trading at price-to-NAV ratio of 0.4x, which is among the lowest in the world (despite charging higher fees than peer China-focused closed-end funds).
  • Cash balance is US$ 31 million. We urge CMCDI to prioritize buying back shares over new investments, as we proposed.
  • Pony.ai, the autonomous driving champion, went IPO in the US at $13 per share. Share price is now $13.5. After the IPO, CMCDI marked up its stake from US$ 11m to US$ 28m.
  • iFlyHealth (also know as Xunfei Healthcare), which is iFlytek’s AI healthcare subsidiary, also went IPO in Hong Kong at $82.8 per share. Now share price is $85. After the IPO, CMCDI marked up its stake from US$ 41m to US$ 43m.
  • Insta360 (also known as Arashi Vision), the maker of GoPro-like cameras, may also go IPO in Hong Kong.
  • As a result of the various IPOs, cash and listed shares account for ~55% of CMCDI’s total asset. If Insta360 goes IPO at CMCDI’s valuation, that will will become ~60% on a pro forma basis.
  • CMCDI marked up its China UnionPay position from US$ 16m to US$ 24m. We are not sure why.

Here is a summary of CMCDI’s portfolio:

招商局中国基金(“中国基金”,133 HK)刚刚发布了其2024年12月31日的“总资产明细”。

中国基金未对其投资组合发表评论,所以以下是我们的观点:

  • 截至2024年12月31日,中国基金每股净资产价值为33.72港元(或总计6.6亿美元),相比上一季度上涨了3.7%。
  • 较净资产的折价持续扩大。中国基金目前的市净率为 0.4倍,是全球最低的之一(但收费却远高于其他知名的封闭式基金)。
  • 现金余额为 3,100 万美元。如我们所提议的,我们敦促中国基金优先回购股票,而不是进行新投资。
  • 小马智行(Pony.ai),自动驾驶领先公司,在美国以每股13美元的价格上市(IPO)。股价现在为13.5美元。在上市之后,中国基金持股价值从1,100万美元增至2,800万美元。
  • 讯飞医疗,讯飞科技的人工智能医疗子公司,在香港以每股82.8港元的价格上市(IPO),现在股价为85港元。在上市之后,中国基金持股价值从4,100万美元增至4,300万美元。
  • Insta360(也被称为影石科技),这家类似GoPro的相机制造商,可能也会在香港上市(IPO)
  • 鉴于被投企业陆续上市,现金和上市股份持仓占中国基金总资产目前为约55%。如果Insta360以中国基金的估值上市,则对应调整后的占比将增至约60%。
  • 中国基金将其中国银联的价值从1600万美元增至2400万美元。我们不确定原因。
