Summary

Columbia Greater China Fund outperformed the MSCI China Index in Q4, driven by strong stock selection in consumer discretionary, industrials, and consumer staples.
Market volatility followed Trump's U.S. presidential election victory, raising concerns over tariffs, U.S. interest-rate cuts, and a stronger dollar.
Key contributors included Trip.com, Full Truck Alliance, and Eastroc Beverage, while PDD Holdings, Proya Cosmetics, and AIA Group were notable detractors.
Fiscal and monetary stimulus in China, alongside the AI revolution and global power demand, could provide significant upside despite existing economic challenges.
