Prior to joining Capital, Winnie worked with Morgan Stanley in London, Hong Kong and Singapore. She holds both master’s and bachelor’s degrees in economics from Trinity College at the University of Cambridge. She also holds the Chartered Financial Analyst® designation. Winnie is based in Hong Kong. Background and approach: Bottom-up research is at the heart of Winnie’s approach. Her investment decisions always factor in assessment of a company’s valuation in relation to its global peers, history and prevailing interest rates. She also pays close attention to balance sheets, as well as free cash flow generation. Her emphasis is on seeking longer term total return (stock appreciation and dividend growth) potential, with investments that are not concentrated. “Typically, I invest in companies for several years. Assuming our research thesis is borne out, this is a holding period over which earnings, dividends and various multiples have ample time to potentially improve,” she says. In addition, Winnie likes to invest in cyclical stocks that are out of favor — at a trough in their valuation cycle and toward the bottom of their industry’s capital expenditure cycle. She emphasizes high-quality companies. Winnie will also selectively invest in attractively valued companies where her view of a management change or earnings turnaround is positive, if there are signs of improvement that appear favorable for potential returns.
