COPFA ALPHA SHOWCASE 2026

Alpha Uncovered.

High-conviction investment ideas from managers with deep roots across Asia.

2026

FOR PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS ONLY

BUILT TO BE STRESS-TESTED — NOT SOLD.

Not another conference deck. Not another quarterly letter.

Most manager content is built to impress rather than inform. The COPFA Alpha Showcase is neither.

We invited a curated group of offshore managers — many with long-standing presence and on-the-ground networks across Greater China and Asia — to write a clear, high-conviction case for one investment idea with a 1–2 year horizon. No marketing language. No 30-slide decks. Just the thesis, the edge, the risks, and why they believe the market is mispricing it.

Each idea is built to be stress-tested — not sold.

What remains is a collection of papers that show how serious managers actually think when they commit capital and reputation to an idea.
