Perpetual Global Innovation Share Fund recently released its March 2019 Quarter Update, which you can track down here. In the report, the fund posted return of 25.6% since inception, and Q1 2019 return of 16.4%, and it also shared its view on the company that was its biggest positive contributor for the quarter, HUYA Inc. (NYSE:HUYA).
HUYA
If you’ve noticed that gamers seem to be spending more time watching games than ever before, you aren’t alone. Young gamers (aged between 18-25) are spending an average of 3 hours and 58 minutes each week doing just that according to a recent survey by Limelight Networks1, up 33 minutes from last year. To put that in perspective, if we add up those hours, that would total more than 8 full days of watching gaming per year.
When I first came across video game live streaming, I didn’t really get it. Why would you watch someone else play a game when you could play it yourself? I soon realised that playing video games and watching video games are two distinct but complementary forms of entertainment – one is active while the other is passive, arguably no different than playing versus watching sports. With the rise we’ve seen in people playing video games it’s no surprise that watching people play has grown alongside it.
A key beneficiary of this growth has been the video game streaming platforms themselves. Twitch, the leading platform in the US, is locked away within Amazon which acquired the business for $970m in 2014. Huya, the leading platform in China, started life as a subsidiary of YY (a live streaming company we’ve owned since the fund’s inception) but became public with its IPO in May of 2018. We bought a position in Huya shortly after the IPO.
We believe these businesses are natural monopolies, or at least duopolies, due to the strong network effects associated with the platforms. Streamers will most likely only stream on a single platform and will gravitate towards the platform with the greatest number of users. Viewers will go to the platform with the greatest variety of streamers. We’ve seen this play out already in the US where Twitch retains its dominant position despite efforts by YouTube Gaming and others trying to gain a foothold.
China is a market that saw an explosion of new video game streaming companies get formed in 2014-2015, around the time of Amazon’s acquisition of Twitch. This led to a fiercely competitive environment until last year when Tencent invested in the two leading platforms (Huya and Douyu) on the same day. Since then, we’ve seen these two grow while others have struggled. The third largest competitor in the space, PandaTV, filed for bankruptcy last month.
Industry consolidation and a more benign competitive environment will allow Huya to capture a greater share of the economics of this growing industry. We believe the market is underestimating the company’s long-term earnings potential from its core Chinese business.
We’re also optimistic about Huya’s growth potential outside of China through NimoTV, its subsidiary. NimoTV is focused on becoming the leading game streaming platform in Southeast Asia and Latin America, and its able to do this by adopting a localisation strategy where they support local broadcasters and titles. This seems be working – in Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Brazil, 4 markets that represent 638 million people, NimoTV is the leading video game streaming app and ahead of Twitch. Given the network effects naturally at play, we believe these early leads could become permanent, creating a valuable business over time not just in China, but internationally as well.

Artificial intelligence is the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime. The time to invest in groundbreaking AI is now, and this stock is a steal!
AI is eating the world—and the machines behind it are ravenous.
Each ChatGPT query, each model update, each robotic breakthrough consumes massive amounts of energy. In fact, AI is already pushing global power grids to the brink.
Wall Street is pouring hundreds of billions into artificial intelligence—training smarter chatbots, automating industries, and building the digital future. But there’s one urgent question few are asking:
Where will all of that energy come from?
AI is the most electricity-hungry technology ever invented. Each data center powering large language models like ChatGPT consumes as much energy as a small city. And it’s about to get worse.
Even Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, issued a stark warning:
“The future of AI depends on an energy breakthrough.”
Elon Musk was even more blunt:
“AI will run out of electricity by next year.”
As the world chases faster, smarter machines, a hidden crisis is emerging behind the scenes. Power grids are strained. Electricity prices are rising. Utilities are scrambling to expand capacity.
And that’s where the real opportunity lies…
One little-known company—almost entirely overlooked by most AI investors—could be the ultimate backdoor play. It’s not a chipmaker. It’s not a cloud platform. But it might be the most important AI stock in the US owns critical energy infrastructure assets positioned to feed the coming AI energy spike.
As demand from AI data centers explodes, this company is gearing up to profit from the most valuable commodity in the digital age: electricity.
The “Toll Booth” Operator of the AI Energy Boom
It owns critical nuclear energy infrastructure assets, positioning it at the heart of America’s next-generation power strategy.
It’s one of the only global companies capable of executing large-scale, complex EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) projects across oil, gas, renewable fuels, and industrial infrastructure.
It plays a pivotal role in U.S. LNG exportation—a sector about to explode under President Trump’s renewed “America First” energy doctrine.
Trump has made it clear: Europe and U.S. allies must buy American LNG.
And our company sits in the toll booth—collecting fees on every drop exported.
But that’s not all…
As Trump’s proposed tariffs push American manufacturers to bring their operations back home, this company will be first in line to rebuild, retrofit, and reengineer those facilities.
AI. Energy. Tariffs. Onshoring. This One Company Ties It All Together.
While the world is distracted by flashy AI tickers, a few smart investors are quietly scooping up shares of the one company powering it all from behind the scenes.
AI needs energy. Energy needs infrastructure.
And infrastructure needs a builder with experience, scale, and execution.
This company has its finger in every pie—and Wall Street is just starting to notice.
Wall Street is noticing this company also because it is quietly riding all of these tailwinds—without the sky-high valuation.
While most energy and utility firms are buried under mountains of debt and coughing up hefty interest payments just to appease bondholders…
This company is completely debt-free.
In fact, it’s sitting on a war chest of cash—equal to nearly one-third of its entire market cap.
It also owns a huge equity stake in another red-hot AI play, giving investors indirect exposure to multiple AI growth engines without paying a premium.
And here’s what the smart money has started whispering…
The Hedge Fund Secret That’s Starting to Leak Out
This stock is so off-the-radar, so absurdly undervalued, that some of the most secretive hedge fund managers in the world have begun pitching it at closed-door investment summits.
They’re sharing it quietly, away from the cameras, to rooms full of ultra-wealthy clients.
Why? Because excluding cash and investments, this company is trading at less than 7 times earnings.
And that’s for a business tied to:
The AI infrastructure supercycle
The onshoring boom driven by Trump-era tariffs
A surge in U.S. LNG exports
And a unique footprint in nuclear energy—the future of clean, reliable power
You simply won’t find another AI and energy stock this cheap… with this much upside.
This isn’t a hype stock. It’s not riding on hope.
It’s delivering real cash flows, owns critical infrastructure, and holds stakes in other major growth stories.

And is still used by hundreds of banks, hedge funds, and brokerages to track the billions of dollars flowing in and out of stocks each day.
He’s used this system to survive nine bear markets… create three new indices for the Nasdaq… and even predict the brutal bear market of 2022, 90 days in advance.
