I am sharing our Providend's April Market Review. The market review is our investment team's update on the portfolio performance, explaining where the gains and losses can be attributed. But in this April's market review, my colleague Choon Siong and Chye Hsern decide to reflect upon the challenges in China the past few years, and take stock of how they are currently. It is our ongoing efforts to risk coach and enlighten to our clients different aspect of our portfolio. They cover 1?? The impact to China banks from China government's efforts to improve the real estate situation. 2?? The challenges that plague Local Government Financing Vehicles (LGVs) 3?? How is the housing market 4?? The positive trends that can be observed. Ultimately, there are risks and challenges. Due to that, potentially there is a equity risk premium to be captured. I often say we crafted a portfolio with humility with sound fundamentals and evidenced-based. We don't know whether China will continue to do poorly or when they will turn the corner but we want to have adequate exposure to the risks, at a level we can accept, so that we can capture the returns when the risk premium shows up. https://lnkd.in/gSNpivRP

Investing in China’s Low-Interest-Rate Era ???? As traditional savings and investment products yield diminishing returns, individuals and institutions alike must explore new strategies to preserve and grow wealth in this evolving economic landscape. ?? Key Insights 1?? The New Low-Rate Reality China's central bank has implemented multiple rate cuts in 2024 to stimulate growth, driving deposit rates below 2% at major banks. This shift marks a significant departure from the relatively high-interest-rate environment of the past decades. As a result, Chinese investors are facing limited options for safe, high-yield investments, compelling a shift towards alternative asset classes. 2?? Investment Strategies for Individuals With shrinking returns on traditional products such as money market funds and fixed-term deposits, investors are looking at alternatives such as: USD-denominated deposits and products: Offering higher yields (3-4.5%) but carrying currency risk. High-dividend stocks: A potential long-term income strategy in a low-rate environment. Gold and alternative assets: As a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty. Passive index funds: Providing exposure to diversified equity markets with lower management costs. 3?? Institutional Shifts: Banking and Asset Management The low-rate environment is reshaping the financial industry, forcing banks to: Seek higher-yielding assets, such as SME loans and government bonds. Boost non-interest income streams to counter shrinking interest margins. Consolidate operations to enhance efficiency and resilience in a more competitive landscape. Fund managers are also adapting by increasing their exposure to long-duration bonds and exploring opportunities in overseas markets through QDII (Qualified Domestic Institutional Investor) programs, despite existing regulatory constraints. 4?? The Insurance Industry Under Pressure Life insurers are particularly affected by falling rates, with existing high-interest policies leading to potential spread losses. Insurers are now: Lowering guaranteed returns on new policies. Increasing allocations to long-term government bonds to better align with liabilities. Exploring diversification into global and alternative investments to boost yields. ? Looking Ahead: What Should Investors Do? In this new low-rate era, diversification is key. Investors should consider balancing their portfolios with a mix of: ? Safe-haven assets like bonds and gold. ? Growth opportunities in equities and high-dividend stocks. ? Global diversification to tap into higher-yield markets. ? Strategic risk management to navigate currency fluctuations and market uncertainties. Whether through domestic assets or international opportunities, adapting to this new environment will be crucial for long-term financial success. #Investment #ChinaEconomy #InterestRates #WealthManagement #FinancialMarkets #AssetAllocation #RiskManagement #EconomicGrowth

Aubrey Investment Manager and Founder, Sharon Bentley-Hamlyn, comments on why investors should now be reviewing their allocations to European equities: ? "The ECB is in poll position to be the next central bank to cut interest rates, after the surprise move by the Swiss National Bank, which cut by 25 bps last week.?Swiss inflation is already at 2%, Eurozone inflation is 2.6%, so closer to target than either the US or UK.?The fact the European index is up 7% year to date suggests investors are already refocussing towards Europe, mainly through ETFs, indexed funds.?The Top 10 index stocks (27% of the index) are up nearly 10% on average year-to-date. ? President of the ECB, Christine Lagarde, has signalled the first interest rate cut will come in June.?The Greek central bank governor is reported to have said rates could be cut twice this summer and four times over 2024.?Any cut in interest rates should see European growth, mid cap and smaller companies perform catch-up with the main index, particularly those still delivering good earnings growth. Investors should be reviewing their European allocations at this point.?We have seen how fast midcap ‘growth’ moves when sentiment improves.?Our European Strategy rose 20% in November/December alone but has been in the doldrums since.?We indicated at the start of the year that investors should buy the dips.?We believe the window of opportunity is here right now and can be expected to close as summer approaches, and beyond.”???????
