The Fund reported a loss of 0.7% in March, which has resulted in a 1-year rolling return of 24.3% with a corresponding 1-year volatility of 10.1%.
Despite our continued belief in the Chinese government’s long-term commitment to renewable energy, Chinese wind and US-listed Chinese solar stocks under-performed in March and our long positions in these sectors were the main contributors to the Fund’s negative performance for the month. However, the Fund did benefit from its positions across companies such as China Singyes (Chinese solar developer), Waison Group (manufacturer of smart meters in China) and Maxwell Technologies (a US ultra-capacitor manufacturer with significant exposure to hybrid buses and wind turbines in China).
We continue to see opportunities across the value chain in LED technology for general lighting applications. This was exemplified in March by Epistar (a leading Taiwanese chip manufacturer) who reported year-on-year sales growth of 38%.
For some further thoughts on developments in hybrid and electric technology in cars as well as some exciting progress in thin film solar technology, please read our attached Monthly Report – March 2014.

Where’s the beef? Blackstone just answered the AI question.
