After the selloff: What's next for Chinese equities?

In our recent client call, CIO Paras Anand took investors through the spate of regulatory actions across several sectors in China which saw Chinese equities plunge. Read the summary of the call where we discuss the policy impacts.
The Investor's Guide to China: China in the World
With a 14.7% share of worldwide exports in 2020, China is firmly at the centre of global trade. With it's five-year plan to reduce the country’s dependence on international trade, even as it continues to project its influence globally, China is seeking to redefine its role in the world.

This Fund is subject to the risk of stock market fluctuations. Investors accessing the Fund through a master trust or wrap account will also bear any fees charged by the operator of such master trust or wrap account. Any apparent discrepancies in the numbers are due to rounding.

2Total returns (net) have been calculated using exit prices and take into account the applicable buy/sell spread and are net of Fidelity’s management costs, transactional and operational costs and assumes reinvestment of distributions. No allowance has been made for tax. Returns of more than one year are annualised. The return of capital is not guaranteed.
