Secrets To China Stocks

By Mike Swanson

China has one of the largest economies in the world and has survived the recession well. The Chinese government has had an active stimulus program and the economy is growing. It is little wonder many investors are seeing this emerging market with thoughts of investing in China as the best way to invest in the world. There are a few options international investors rate highly.

Going into China directly by setting up your own operations is usually difficult. Instead most operations entered in joint ventures with local operations. This allows the foreign company to operate while the local company provides the local cultural understanding and expertise.

Purchasing stocks in Chinese companies is another option. However it pays to be aware that there are a number of government regulations about what types of company stocks foreigners can buy. Many companies have tier A and Tier B shares with only one tier being available to foreigners, the other for the locals.

Private Equity Funds focusing on various Chinese sectors are another popular and less risky way to get into the Chinese markets. However firms still have problems getting the right information out of their Chinese based partners to fully understand what is happening on a daily basis and strategically. For this reason many private equity firms actually actively avoid Chinese investments.

Property is booming in China. Growth rates simply have not stopped and construction can be seen everywhere. Many investors have focused on Beijing and Shanghai, the two main cities, but when there are other cities in China with populations of over 20 million each there are no shortage of opportunities. A continuing trend of rural drift to the cities is supporting the need to accommodation.

Investing in China, is investing in an emerging economy. Like any foreign foray you need to understand how the markets operate and what opportunities really mean. In these circumstances good advice and good research are critical components of success. - 23305
