Capitalise on the post-coronavirus growth opportunities in China

CAI_1b_en.jpg

The dynamic, fast-changing equity market in China offers investors ample unique investment opportunities to capture the growth potential of existing investment trends and those that have emerged after the Covid-19 outbreak.

For example, China is already one of the markets with the fastest-growing online retail penetration.The acceleration and evolution of the country’s e-commerce ecosystem in the post Covid-19 era are set to prompt more investment ideas.

The re-organisation of supply chains, amid rising geopolitical risks,the disruption from the virus outbreak and the growing importance of self-sufficiency for many of the industries in China, is also bringing forth a lot of new opportunities, such as production automation, robotics and semiconductors, to name but a few.

Our dynamic focus helps us identify these evolving trends early on and capitalise on these growth opportunities across different industries and sectors in China.

Attractive yields from the China bond market

Apart from equities, the country’s fixed income market also offers growth potential. The Chinese onshore bond market is the world’s second largest by market value, while the offshore Chinese US Dollar corporate bond market is also the largest within the Asian universe, providing a lot of interesting opportunities for income-seeking investors.

While yields in other developed markets are hitting new lows, Chinese debts are offering relatively attractive yields. Its diverse universe of income opportunities, both onshore and offshore, also offers diversification. The inclusion of its domestic bond market in major global bond indices will likely fuel investors’ interest in the market going forward.
