S&P Webinar: Capturing the Complete China Story – On Shore and Off
Thursday 20th October '16
Historically, foreign investors in China have had restricted access to the onshore market. But the game has changed recently, as various domestic and foreign investment schemes have broadened capital flows between domestic and international markets.
As China's capital markets become increasingly liberalized, demand is growing for investment products and benchmarks that cover the entire China equity market, both onshore and offshore. But where do the opportunities lie?
Join us to hear industry specialists discuss:
+ Efficient entry strategies for gaining exposure to China
+ The S&P China 500's role as a comprehensive barometer of the Chinese equity market
+ Sector strategies that align with the sources of China's economic growth
