Time to buy Chinese stocks

Time to buy Chinese stocks? Fraud, corruption, impenetrable ownership structures, credit-bubble, underdeveloped financial markets, command economy, ageing population, dodgy accounting. These are just some of the reasons for not investing in China. But after recently visiting Beijing and Shanghai my first thought was how much development there was to go. The Chinese people have a lot to look forward to. Platinum Asset Management's March quarterly report shows that the Chinese stock market is priced lower than Asian indexes were at the trough of the Asian-Crisis nearly 20 years ago. Investing in China is not for the faint hearted and we expect that there's plenty of pain to come as the economy slows. While there's no room for complacency, Chinese stocks are currently priced for disaster and there are plenty of fast growing stocks that will flourish for years to come. (VIEW LINK)
