Zhang Kun emphasized a bottom-up investment approach, targeting companies with strong business models, competitive advantages, and sustainable growth. He noted short-term market volatility often overlooks long-term structural factors. Despite recent economic headwinds, China’s domestic consumption market remains promising, with low valuations offering a margin of safety. Zhang expects China’s GDP and consumption growth to outpace global averages, supported by its vast unified market’s scale advantages. He remains confident that intrinsic value growth will eventually reflect in market capitalization.
