Following the Q1 2026 earnings call where Tesla's CEO announced the anticipated mid-2026 release and year-end mass production start for the Optimus V3, the technology sector has once again entered a 'global frenzy' mode. From Europe and America to Asia-Pacific, and from U.S. stocks to A-shares, the AI narrative has sparked a new wave of enthusiasm for tech stocks.
Amid this latest surge in 'hard tech', one fund has particularly captured market attention: the Yinda Flexible Allocation Fund (Class A: 001270, Class B: 001271). This fund explicitly identified the Tesla Optimus supply chain as a key investment focus in its first-quarter report.
A review of the fund's Q1 2026 portfolio reveals a distinct 'robotics' theme. Its top ten holdings are heavily concentrated in core robotics segments. For instance, the largest holding, Zhejiang Rongtai, is a long-term core supplier to Tesla. Having collaborated with Tesla for years on thermal runaway protection for new energy vehicle batteries, it has leveraged this technological expertise to enter the supply chain for Tesla's humanoid robot, Optimus, supplying critical components like miniature lead screws. The second-largest holding, Hanwei Technology, has also established business cooperation with Tesla and is a leading domestic supplier of electronic skin technology in advanced stages of engagement with the automaker.
The fund's manager, Liu Yubin, stated clearly in the quarterly report that the strategy is anchored on two main directions: first, closely following the mass production timeline of Tesla's Optimus, focusing on core Tier-1 suppliers and key component providers; second, capitalizing on the anticipated 'Model 3 moment' for humanoid robots in 2026, investing in the acceleration of industrialization from pilot to scale, with a focus on leading companies securing orders, expanding capacity, and delivering on earnings.
The current investment approach is described as "further concentrating and strengthening core positions in the humanoid robot industry chain, with a key focus on the Tesla Optimus supply chain, especially core Tier-1 suppliers to the OEM, and critical components such as ball screws, harmonic reducers, dexterous hands, sensors, and high-precision actuators." The rationale provided is that "these segments are the most direct beneficiaries during the mass production phase, characterized by high unit value, significant barriers to entry, and strong order visibility."
This foresight appears to be materializing in the market, as 2026 is seen as a pivotal year for humanoid robots transitioning from laboratory prototypes to factory deployment.
"The pace of robotics industrialization is exceeding market expectations. With Tesla's Optimus advancing towards mass production, the Chinese supply chain has become a core support system. Key component manufacturers are operating at full capacity with high visibility on earnings delivery," Liu Yubin noted in the report, a view increasingly reflected in industry developments.
As the mass production timeline for Optimus V3 approaches, the humanoid robot industry is poised for an acceleration phase. During this critical industrial window, the Yinda Flexible Allocation Fund aims to provide investors with a tool to participate in the sector's growth by proactively positioning in key segments of the humanoid robot supply chain and aligning with Tesla's Optimus production schedule.
