Samir Mehta: Tune in to Tencent Music if you’re looking for a hidden gem
WHO is the Bob Dylan of music streaming?
That’s the question Pendal’s Samir Mehta posed at the Sohn Hearts & Minds Conference in Adelaide last month.
For most, the answer is obvious: Sweden’s Spotify has revolutionised the way we consume music, dominating developed markets and setting the benchmark for subscription-based streaming.
But in investing – just like in music – real success is found beyond the obvious.
For every Bob Dylan – whose sandpaper voice and sermon-like lyrics changed the face of music worldwide – there’s a Sixto Rodriguez: overlooked by mainstream audiences until an Oscar-winning documentary, Searching For Sugar Man, revealed he had been quietly building a cult following in small but devoted markets.
“Spotify has done a brilliant job in developed markets, but there’s lots of other markets that still have potential,” says Mehta, who manages the Pendal Asian Share Fund.
“What we need to do is search for the Sugar Man of streaming.”
“Music follows exactly the same trends across the world – and the Sixto Rodriguez of streaming is China’s Tencent Music Entertainment.”

Emerging markets: What we learned from one of the biggest election years ever
If it feels like a hectic year for emerging markets investors, you’d be right.
So far 66 national elections have taken place around the world in 2024, according to the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance – an intergovernmental organisation that supports democracy.
And another eight or so are still scheduled before the new year.
In a new webinar, Pendal EM fund manager Ada Chan discusses major trends emerging from these polls, along with other issues.
EM Investors can expect more certainty in 2026, she says.
“We will have to wait and see the details on many Trump Administration policies … and implementation is key from the US.”
Investors in China should focus on domestic industries, rather than manufacturing exporters, as we wait to see if Trump carries through on this week’s tariff threats.
There are also actionable lessons to be drawn from elections in Indonesia, Mexico and India, Ada says.
She explains more in the webinar
