XPeng designs and manufactures smart electric vehicles, including SUVs (G3, G3i), sports sedans (P7), and family sedans (P5), and offers related services such as maintenance, charging, leasing, and insurance.
The company generates revenue primarily through the sale of electric vehicles, complemented by after-sales services, ride-hailing, technical support, and financial products.
XPeng targets consumers in China seeking advanced, connected, and energy-efficient vehicles, with a focus on tech-savvy and environmentally conscious buyers.
XPeng is a leading Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer headquartered in Guangzhou. The company leverages proprietary technology to deliver smart, connected vehicles and a comprehensive suite of mobility services.
By allocating nearly 10% of reported assets to this single EV name, Yong Rong is displaying a meaningful shift toward concentrated, growth-oriented risk in a portfolio otherwise anchored by large-cap U.S. equities and thematic exposure. That positioning matters because it suggests confidence not just in the company’s near-term rebound, but in its longer-term competitive footing within China’s increasingly crowded EV market.
XPeng’s latest earnings offered a mixed but improving picture. Vehicle deliveries continued to recover, margins showed early stabilization, and management reiterated its focus on cost controls and platform efficiency. While profitability remains elusive, the company has leaned into software-driven differentiation and higher-end models as it navigates price competition across China’s EV landscape.
For long-term investors, the trade highlights a willingness to tolerate volatility in exchange for asymmetric upside. XPeng shares have already climbed more than 25% over the past year, yet still trade well below prior cycle highs. Making this stake one of the fund’s largest holdings suggests the manager views current pricing as an entry point rather than an exit.
