China enjoys strong start to 2023 but diversification pays

‘The traditional 60/40 portfolio was dead and buried last year but the outlook now looks far better – it has been resuscitated.’

A sense of optimism surrounds the country’s prospects as it reopens.

JP Morgan Asset Management gets the nod to complete its acquisition of China International Fund Management.

It is only the second asset manager to have both a wholly owned fund management company and a majority-controlled wealth management joint venture.

The UK asset manager shared five investment themes in China that it overweighs in 2023.

No-one is suggesting China is anything but volatile but things are starting to get interesting.

Short-term sentiment has been boosted after the Chinese government announced plans to relax restrictions, said market observers.

The adjustments will be implemented in about three months time.

Despite the global slowdown in growth, most Asian economies and asset classes will benefit from broader reopening, said the British asset manager.

But easing of restrictions could open the Covid floodgates or heap more misery on global inflation woes.
