2021年投資展望-股票

瀚亞投資(新加坡)價值股票團隊認為,把投資目光放遠,投資者宜轉向價值型股票,新興市場及日本提供大量投資機會,可締造龐大報酬;同樣,核心股票團隊亦在亞洲發現投資機會,範圍涵蓋金融科技、健康護理與醫藥、科技與創新、教育、可再生能源及電動車相關類股。

Q1、新興市場2020表現略優於已開發市場。您預期2021年有何不同?價值股如何持續復甦?

全球新興市場及亞洲價值股票團隊主管Andrew Cormie:2020年是新興市場股市非常波動的一年,無論是國家或風格表現均有顯著差異。新興市場表現領先全球已開發市場指數,但稍為落後於美國。面對商品價格及新冠肺炎疫情影響,拉丁美洲和歐洲、中東及非洲等股市的跌幅最大,而在中國經濟迅速復甦的主導下,新興亞洲市場取得正報酬。

投資者對於優質股與成長股相對偏好,帶動MSCI新興市場成長指數的表現領先MSCI新興市場價值指數逾30%1

股票風格表現分歧,也擴大了新興市場估值出現落差,目前差異超過三個標準差(見圖一),從統計學來說,這個概率低於0.3%。在當前環境下,加上全球趨於一致的貨幣和財政政策,可以應對疫情對經濟的損害,對於嚴守紀律的主動價值型新興市場基金經理來說,2021年將帶來非常具吸引力的投資機會。

投資者經常會問:價值股何時重拾漲勢並再度領先?目前投資者對少數估值昂貴的增長和優質股,抱持堅定的樂觀態度,這也為估值便宜的價值股提供有力支持。

所有新興市場行業均存在價值機會,包括資訊科技、消費、能源、公用事業或金融,我們發現大量被市場忽視和低估的股票存在投資機會。把投資決策和目光放遠,將焦點從當前季度盈利轉向中長期的可持續盈利前景,才是推動價值股領先的致勝關鍵。

2021年有機會出現可靠的新冠肺炎疫苗,加上全球刺激經濟措施和美國新政府上台,或許促使投資人把目光放遠,轉進具備可觀報酬潛力的價值股。

Q2、哪些亞洲市場主題可轉化為投資機會?

區域亞洲核心股票團隊主管John Tsai:我們大多透過「由下而上」研究,聚焦在質化篩選而出的標的,但在研究不同亞洲市場的過程中,我們發現一些共同主題,包括金融服務中介(例如金融科技)、健康護理與藥業、科技與創新、教育、可再生能源及電動車。目前最大的主題或許是互聯網用量激增,以及所衍生的業務應用,特别是流動網路。

舉例說,鑑於傳統零售商被迫重新審視其舊有業務模式,電子商務在不少市場均迅速發展。亞太區電子商務規模已達2兆美元(按商品銷售總額計),並預期將以100%的複合平均增長率成長,到了2023年達至3.9兆美元(見圖二)。中國在電子商務創新方面表現領先全球,其他亞洲市場亦開始仿效中國的新業務模式,而部份公司迎來創新的消費互動模式。我們已找到有關上述新興主題的吸引股票投資機會,並預期未來將在亞洲不同市場繼續發掘。

Q3、日本股市在已開發市場中具吸引力,卻被投資人忽視,是否能翻轉局面?

日本股票團隊主管Dean Cashman:日本股票相對全球其他國家存在折價情況。自2015年起,外國投資者一直是淨賣方,持股比重是2012年以來最低。市場似乎忽視了日本企業的結構增長主題,包括資產負債表、盈利能力、營運效率及股本報酬率等改善趨勢。

日本企業日益重視管理革新,股票回購(Buy-Back)在2019年創下紀錄,日本TOPIX指數的回購規模年增109%,2020年初至今公布的回購量仍高於2018年水準。值得注意的是,敵意收購、爭奪式收購自2019年以來一直上升,反映出日本企業公司控制權市場迅速發展,有望進一步推動實現價值。

另外,投資者普遍對日本股市預期較低,若市場出現意料之外喜訊,可能觸發股價出現利多反應。此外,市場仍然深信「低成長、低通膨及低利率」環境將持續,若有任何事件發展挑戰目前這個普世認同的信念,或許會導致估值出現重估。
