Orbis: Unpacking the risks from regulatory change
For Chinese companies, regulatory change is a perennial risk. This month, the government gave investors a stark reminder of that risk when it announced sweeping changes to China’s online tutoring industry.
Amid other headlines, this led to a broad sell-off of Chinese technology stocks. We think the panic was excessive.
But regulatory risk has increased, so while we continue to find our Chinese holdings very attractive, we have resisted the urge to add materially to the Orbis Global Equity Strategy’s already-large overall exposure.
