    🎙 Guest: William Ma, CIO, GROW Investment Group
    🎙 Host: Alvin Fan, CEO, OPIM


    In this wide-ranging conversation, Grow Investment Group’s founder William Ma returns to Alpha Uncovered to break down three distinct types of alpha that investors are quietly capturing across China’s evolving market landscape— the future alpha: youth-driven consumer stocks, the current alpha: arbitrage trading strategies, and historical alpha: real estate conversions.


    📌 In this episode:

    • Why Gen Z brands like Pop Mart are outperforming tech giants
    • How structural quirks in China’s A-share market are creating 60% arbitrage opportunities
    • The real reason convertible bonds are mispriced
    • How service apartments born from distressed hotels are yielding high IRR
    • What smart capital is buying while Western allocators hesitate
    • This is not macro theory—it’s on-the-ground alpha from one of China's most experienced institutional investors.
