"Social media is growing at a massive rate in China, with online gaming becoming a huge part of this social media," Beal said.
He added: "Sina.com is an online media company that occupies an important niche in sports, entertainment and popular current affairs content. These areas continue to attract significant visitors to the company's website and generate substantial advertising revenues."
The manager pointed out that Hong Kong-listed Chinese equities have performed poorly over the past year, despite attractive earnings growth.

Beal's £350m trust has around a 40 per cent holding in financials, with its second largest sector weighting is telecoms, media and technology (TMT).

Patrick Connolly, head of communications at AWD Chase de Vere is wary on investors blindly shifting assets into Chinese equities.
"In the long term we are generally positive about China and emerging markets, however, in the short term there are fears about inflation and the sense that the economy represents a bubble ready to burst," he said.
"The important thing is not to over-expose yourself. It would make sense to have China in your portfolio but the larger the proportion then the greater the risk."
