In light of the central bank-induced euphoria in the region, this week we will be focusing on foreign equities by taking a look at the Matthews Asia Growth Fund (MPACX) – our fund of the week for November 12.
The fund features exposure to all countries and markets in Asia, including developed and emerging nations. With that being said, over 40% of the fund’s asset are allocated to Japanese stocks, with China accounting for the second largest allocation at around 15%.
Historical Performance
2010 | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | YTD |
---|---|---|---|---|
26.85% | -12.70% | 17.47% | 19.35% | 5.01% |
This fund is fairly well-balanced seeing as how the top five holdings account for less than 20% of total assets. In terms of sectors, MPACX is heavily skewed towards consumer-focused stocks, with staples and discretionary companies each accounting for 20% of total assets.
Ticker | Stock | Portfolio Weight | YTD Performance |
---|---|---|---|
TOYOF | Toyota Motor Corp | 4.94% | 8.30% |
ORXCF | Orix Corp | 4.74% | -13.90% |
SSMXF | Sysmex Corporation | 2.65% | 56.55% |
SFTBF | SOFTBANK Corp | 2.43% | -13.90% |
MBFJF | Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc | 2.41% | -6.59% |
