A hedge-fund manager who made more than 300 percent on one stock says her next big win is a Chinese maker of swimming pool flamingos and bouncy castles.

After a two-year bet that paid off with GDS Holdings Ltd., a Beijing-based operator of data centers, Jen Lai is now doubling down on Hong Kong-listed Bestway Global Holding Inc. The Dalton Investments LLC portfolio manager has bought more of the shares this year after first discovering the stock in the second half of 2018.
