Therefore we have built a one-stop multi-asset solution for China investors where you get access to China's growth potential through equity investments and get income through investments in bonds.
Our unique multi-asset approach maintains a good balance between equities, bonds, cash, as well as between onshore and offshore investments.
In a neutral environment, we allocate 50% to equities and 50% to bonds, while 10% of each of those equity and bond allocations will be to onshore assets.
