US fund managers roll out US$ 2.5 billion China investments
despite frightening economic headlines coming out of mainland China, US fund managers have invested US$ 2.5 billion in stocks this year in the world’s second biggest economy. Research firm EPFR Global reported that the outlay follows outflows of US$ 2.6 billion in 2011. Meanwhile, international equity funds bumped their stakes in China and Hong Kong to an average of 4.4% in Q1 2012, up from 4% the same period in 2011, Lipper Inc reported. The confidence stems in part from Beijing spurring growth by loosening bank reserve requirements and speeding up infrastructure projects approval.

China, the world’s 2nd largest economy, continues to be the most important market for companies looking for growth and Chinese companies continue to globalize by investing and selling their products in new markets; what is your company’s strategy for engaging China?
