APB Leaders Week Webinar Series 2020: Getting Your China Investment Strategy Right | On-demand

Whilst there remains a lack of direction in which way the Chinese economy may go after the latest set of GDP data – dependent on local government stimulus efforts, or a return to global demand for exports – it remains a market where staying invested intelligently will benefit smart investors in the long-term. This session takes a look at some of the key sectors in China’s economy that our experts view as the brightest opportunities for investors, the optimum way to structure an appropriate risk-return China strategy and the product solutions available, and debate on how to get your China strategy nailed down in these volatile times to position for the recovery in consumption and industrial profit.
