Cephei Capital was founded in 2006 with a sizeable overseas endowment as the initial investor investing in China’s capital markets. Thanks to Cephei’s sophisticated and mature investment process, stable investment team, strong local expertise, and the support from the long-term capital we manage, the Firm has generated consistent and strong returns from absolute and relative perspectives. Cephei capital is registered with the Asset Management Association of China (AMAC), Securities & Futures Commission of Hong Kong (SFC), US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Ontario Securities Commission (OSC), and Central Bank of Ireland (CBI).

Expert team servicing long-term global capital

Cephei Capital’s mission is to generate long-term strong investment returns for investors. Cephei employs a team of true experts to manage long-term capital to achieve this goal. Cephei has developed a high-quality investor base whose investment objectives and horizon align with Cephei’s investment philosophy. The investors of the Total Return Strategy are mainly endowments, foundations, and family offices, while the investors of the Relative Return Strategy are primarily pension funds and sovereign wealth funds. Thanks to the partnership arrangement and coherent firm culture, Cephei has built a high-quality investment team with solid expertise, rich experience, and stability.

Long-term Investor in All-China Equities

Cephei’s team and market are local, while Cephei’s clients, operations, and investment philosophy are international. The Firm has a proven record of combining its local knowledge and connections with a mature, fundamentally driven, long-term investment approach to service institutional investors. The Firm manages two investment strategies that share the same investment philosophy, process, research support, and stock pool. To meet the demands of different investors, Cephei has created two strategies with the following investment objectives and portfolio construction:

·Total Return Strategy is index-agnostic with the investment objective of generating double-digit annualized returns on a three-year rolling basis.

·Relative Return Strategy is designed to achieve 500bps annualized outperformance over the benchmark index on a three-year rolling basis. 

Our Strategies
Cephei’s investment philosophy is to find what we consider the best companies from the most promising sectors benefiting from the profound transition of China’s domestic economy. We take a long-term investment approach with these high-quality companies to generate sustainable returns. We achieve this through our in-depth and rigorous fundamental research, strong local expertise, and connections. Cephei Capital employs a growth at a reasonable valuation and contrarian-oriented approach with a bias towards medium and large cap stocks over a long-term investment horizon.
