Overview

Update on China

We are constructive on Chinese equities despite tensions over trade. We see protectionist threats as largely negotiating tactics, while Chinese reforms, a stable growth environment and a solid earnings outlook support equities.

MSCI’s A-Shares inclusion, which began in June 2018, is a landmark event as the world’s second largest equity market is opened to foreigners.

Global ETP flows show investors are increasingly taking a country view on China instead of accessing it through broad EM index exposure.
