Appeal of China assets keeps rising among global investors, JPMorgan research says
Cohort of international investors considering investing in China rises to 57 per cent from 51 per cent a year ago, survey says
Kwang Kam Shing, Hong Kong CEO and chair for North Asia at the biggest US bank, said that there remained significant potential for growth in foreign investment across Hong Kong and mainland China, as investors continued to demonstrate strong interest in uncovering new opportunities, recognising distinct differences between the markets.
“There is still a noticeable gap between the markets,” Kwang said. “Valuations here are considered appealing compared with other regions.”
The poll was conducted during JPMorgan’s Global China Summit in Shanghai last week, which drew more than 2,900 executives, regulatory officials and institutional funds from over 30 countries and markets.
Kwang said international investors were set to increase their exposure to China for asset diversification.
