Carmignac’s Investment Focus on China: Key Long-Term Trends & Chinese New Economy
Carmignac has developed a strong expertise on Emerging Markets and Chinese Markets since its inception in 1989. The focus on actively selected Chinese equities have been present in our global portfolios since then. The Chinese equity market has changed dramatically as the local economic base has moved from being mainly export-industry-led to focusing on innovation. Within Carmignac’s EM strategies we are investing in sustainable growth themes arising from China’s new economy with a high level of selectivity to identify the highest potential companies with a particular focus on sustainability. Our investment philosophy aims at allowing our clients to benefit from the country’s economic transition and long-term effort.
2020 turned out to be a very good year for Emerging Markets & China. After such a positive year, we can ask ourselves if this can continue in the coming quarters or is the move already behind us and it is too late to invest into EM / China ? Is the cyclical rotation in markets calling for a change in EM portfolio allocations going forward?
Haiyan Li Labbé, Fund manager & Greater China Specialist at Carmignac will discuss the opportunities and risks for EMs & China along with her favorite investment themes for 2021 & beyond.
