Russia and Ukraine: The changing situation - March 3 update

Our panel of experts discuss what issues investors in China face today and what they may be able to expect in the Year of the Tiger and beyond.

Some of the questions explored include:

• How will China's “zero-Covid” strategy play out?
• Can inflation in China remain subdued amid surges in the developed world?
• Should we expect more far-reaching regulatory interventions in the near term?

Tom Harvey (Senior Equity Specialist), Don Amstad (Gobal Head of Client Growth), Nicholas Yeo (Head of Equities – China) and Ed Goh (Head of Fixed Income – China) will tackle these questions and more in what promises to be a lively, informative, interactive session.

Will Chinese markets roar in the Year of the Tiger?

Emerging market investors face a number of headwinds. Inflation is high and climbing. Central banks, both in emerging markets and globally, are tightening policy. The Chinese economy has slowed, as the country’s zero-Covid-19 policy takes its toll and regulations hit home. The geopolitical landscape remains a morass. So, the question is: do emerging markets make a compelling long term investment?  

In our view, 2022 will undoubtedly be a challenging environment for investors. However, valuations in both equity and bond markets have already priced in these headwinds to a large extent. As such, we believe this creates an attractive environment for diligent investors with proven research and selection skills.

In this webinar our experts discuss what they’ve learnt through their 35 years on-the-ground-experience of investing in emerging markets. Learn about how markets and companies have been transforming, and the evolution of investing strategies over time. We will also take  a closer look at the growing importance of ESG factors in the emerging market investing, particularly with respect to seeking alignment to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

Looking into the next generation of Emerging Markets

Investors often overlook international small-cap stocks. However, we believe that there are compelling reasons to consider international small caps now, as markets face major thematic shifts: aging populations, the energy transition and an ever-more digital world. These trends are here to stay and international smaller companies help investors capitalize on market disruptions.

Global shifts support international small caps

Latin American Equities Webcast Q2

Join us to hear from Devan Kaloo, ASI's Global Head of Equities & emerging markets veteran.

Devan updated us on the investment landscape in China as a raft of regulatory changes unfold at a rapid pace. He tackled some big questions concerning the future of investing in China, how ASI is positioned, and if the case for China is still intact.

China: What next?

China opened its economy to the world 40 years ago. Now markets are opening up too, as global indices add China’s stocks and bonds. As a result, investors can take advantage of the massive opportunities China has to offer. However, many are nervous about the risks involved, especially around environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. 

We are here to help. We have invested in China for over 30 years and ESG considerations have always been at the heart of our approach. Today, we are more optimistic than ever, as ESG standards improve and China commits to being carbon neutral.

To find out more about China’s risks and opportunities, please join our one-hour online seminar. There we will explore the case for investing in China’s growth story, with a focus on ESG.
