Over 80 percent of global investors plan to increase either significantly or moderately their organization’s allocation to Chinese investments over the next 12 months, according to an Economist Intelligence Unit survey on global investors’ China exposure, commissioned by Invesco. Only 4 percent plan to reduce exposure to China.
The China Position, a survey of 411 asset owners and professional investors across North America, Asia Pacific (APAC) and Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA), collected responses from executives at global organizations on exposure to Chinese investments. Respondents included asset and wealth managers, assets owners including insurance companies and sovereign wealth funds, as well as commercial banks. Assets under management at surveyed organizations spanned from $500 million to greater than $10 billion. Respondents generally described their organization’s China exposure as above average when compared to industry peers.
