Brilliant growth prospect
Technology in everyday life
Technological development is broadening in China with artificial intelligence and cloud computing becoming a part of everyday life. Amid geopolitical uncertainty and facing a decoupling risk with the US, China’s tech industry is embracing an inward economic pivot, looking to reduce its reliance on imported software and hardware.
Rising healthcare demand
The global health crisis has increased demand for healthcare services and products, including healthcare infrastructure, preventive treatment and vaccine development. China’s healthcare industry covers a considerable number of sectors, and spending on such services could continue to grow.
Consumption upgrades
As household income increases and the standard of living improves in China, its middle class is increasingly focused on lifestyle upgrades in both daily necessities and entertainment. Alongside supportive domestic policies, consumption is expected to become a key driver of economic growth.
Income investing advantages
Compelling dividend opportunities
With yields across the curve under pressure in an environment of low or even zero interest rates, it has become more challenging for global investors to find income. In terms of dividend level, China H-Shares look more attractive than those in other markets, offering greater income potential. Within China, sectors including financials, industrials, renewable energy and materials exhibit higher yield and robust earnings growth, offering a potential income foundation.
Dividend level across different regions

Indices used: MSCI World Index (Developed Markets), MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Emerging Markets), MSCI Europe Index (Europe), MSCI Asia Pacific ex-Japan Index (APxJ), MSCI China H Index (China H-Shares). Yield is not guaranteed. Positive yield does not imply positive return.
Bond yield potential looking appealing
China bonds also offer vast income potential. With developed market government bonds at low or negative levels, China bonds denominated in USD (credit) and CNY (government) may offer yield opportunities more appealing to foreign investors.

Potential diversification benefits
Different segments of China bonds come with distinct characteristics. The onshore market is an enormous segment not to be overlooked, but is skewed to government and government-related issuers. Relatively small in size, offshore bond markets have seen issuers of higher quality in general. When compared with those in Emerging Markets, onshore China bonds exhibit a lower correlation with global aggregate and developed market bonds, while offering relatively attractive risk-adjusted returns.
