China's Semiconductor Race: A Missing Allocation

China is building out its domestic chip industry across design, fabrication, materials, and equipment. For European institutional investors, this raises an important portfolio question. Chinese semiconductor companies are only arguably marginally represented in conventional semiconductor and broad China equity strategies. Global semiconductor strategies are weighted toward U.S. as well as other global names, and broad China allocations are dominated by consumer internet and financials. This segment may therefore offer a different exposure than most portfolios already hold.

The build-out has been shaped by geopolitics. U.S. export controls were meant to slow China’s semiconductor industry, but in many areas, they appear to have done the opposite (CSIS, 2026). Each restriction on a foreign supplier has potentially opened a procurement opportunity for a domestic alternative, and state funding, localization mandates, and demand from government and enterprise buyers have reinforced this dynamic across the supply chain.

This webinar looks at the localization race inside China’s chip supply chain, the policy drivers behind it, how the segment fits into existing equity allocations as well as industry-specific risks.

Topics

  • Why U.S. export controls might have accelerated China's semiconductor build-out rather than slowing it
  • How policy is routing demand to domestic suppliers across design, fabrication, and equipment
  • How do Chinese semiconductor equities fit into existing semiconductor and China allocations

Investments are subject to risks, including Emerging Markets risk, risk of investing in China and concentration risk.
