China Investment Strategy
How we do it
- We strongly focus on identifying and tracking leading indicators for China’s investment-relevant economic activity, in order to predict its likely cyclical trajectory and the attendant implications for global growth
- This outlook for growth is then filtered through the lens of policy, which is informed heavily by BCA Research’s constraint-based approach to analyzing likely policy outcomes
- A joint assessment of the global economic environment and Chinese growth, policy, and financial conditions inform our fundamental view for key China-related assets
- Our view on asset fundamentals is married with both analytical and judgmental assessments of investor sentiment in order to generate specific asset allocation recommendations over a tactical, cyclical, and strategic time horizon
