Investors flock to Chinese financial assets

Global investors are showing greater interest in Chinese financial assets as the nation's shining economic prospects help them to diversify their allocations from US dollar-denominated assets, a senior executive at global wealth manager UBS said.

In line with that trend, UBS is committed to functioning as a bridge for global investors to invest in Chinese assets as the country widens its financial opening-up, said Thomas Fang, head of China global markets at UBS.

"We've been pounding the table that the overall underweight of the China assets would not be sustainable. With the September policy pivot (which sharpened policymakers' commitment to economic growth), more and more investors are gaining confidence in the Chinese markets, both A and H shares," Fang said in an exclusive interview with China Daily.
