We believe that emerging markets (EM) should be a core allocation in a well-balanced equity portfolio.
China’s rapidly diversifying and increasingly consumption-led economy is significantly under-represented in both global, all country indices and many investors’ equity portfolios, including in those with a broad allocation to emerging markets. Headline exposure to China in emerging market equity indices is, for historical reasons, heavily tilted toward its offshore equities, which are primarily listed in Hong Kong and the US.
Below you’ll find our latest thinking on the rise of China.
If you would like to discuss in more detail contact our team who will be happy to help you.
Depending on risk tolerance and individual preference, we continue to advocate dedicated China allocations.
We provide you with a revised score showing the impact of the proposed interventions, highlighting the steps that would have the biggest impact on your score. We can undertake annual assessments to see if the changes are delivering the desired impact.
