HONG KONG, June 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Private retail investors have expressed their interest in China by an average of 15% of their portfolio into emerging markets in Chinese tech companies, says Pacific Chiba Trust. The private wealth management company has seen over 200% increase from North America & EMEA private retail investors specifically investing in Chinese tech companies since 2015.
Pacific Chiba Trust highlights that the Chinese technology industry, with an online market said to be worth over $6 trillion by 2020, is experiencing rapid growth and innovation. Its investors have been rushing to add Chinese tech companies to their portfolio. Analysts have attributed the Chinese government increasing its public investments to boost projects that may lack venture capital investment from companies as the major catalyst.
Adam Walsh, Director of Corporate Derivatives at Pacific Chiba Trust, said: "In the last decade only, we have seen technology companies listing on multiple global exchanges and breaking records from IPO launches to market capitalization."
"The general concept of Chinese tech companies is that they replicate the innovations the West has made. However, they have not only created competition but have paced ahead to create better products to offer services for retail consumers."
From e-payments to having the world's largest e-commerce companies and social media platforms, it comes as no shock to why investors are actively looking to get involved.
Large amounts of start-up companies have been created in recent years due to the influx of more western capital from venture capitalists, notes Pacific Chiba Trust.
With increasing population and GDP, there is obvious room for growth, which is key for investors in any markets. This is a notable factor when it comes to investing, hence Chinese technology companies are warranting so much attention.
"To put in perspective, the Chinese e-commerce market was estimated at over $800bn of goods and services sold every day versus the United States $400bn in 2016. It comes as no surprise to why investors are taking up positions," said Louis Hunter, Head of Mergers and Acquisitions at Pacific Chiba Trust.
