Investors look for stronger options overseas

Investors from China are increasingly scouting for opportunities in overseas markets due to the wild swings in the domestic capital markets and currency weakness, said an industry report published on Monday.

The report, jointly published by Manulife-Teda Fund Management Co Ltd and Manulife-Sinochem Life Insurance Co Ltd and based on responses from 216 investors across China, said that investors are particularly interested in real estate, mutual funds and fixed-income products.

The overall investment sentiment remained bullish during the second quarter of the year and 67.5 percent of the investors on average said they believed it was the right time to make investments and had a positive outlook, the report said.
