China Forum 2020 - in a nutshell
China Forum 2020 - in a nutshell
- China's economy has seen a surprisingly strong V-shaped economy;
- China high-yield bonds currently offer strong potential risk-adjusted returns currently;
- China onshore fixed income offers an attractive return/risk profile compared to most global markets and CIOs should be rethinking their asset allocations;
- China has done a good job of containing the COVID-19 virus, the outbreak has accelerated a series of investible trends like consolidation within industries; the shift from offline to online across business segments; and increased investment in Research & Development and innovation;
- We remain constructive on China equities as long-term structural changes remain intact; markets are buoyant but long-term investors must stay disciplined
