Investors
The investors research topic covers all of the major investor demographics in China, and corresponding characteristics for each group. This includes the underlying demand drivers, key product types targeting each group, investor behavior and rationale, degree of maturation and sophistication, and evolving opportunities for each group.
Examples of the key investor groups covered include mass retail, mass affluent, high (and ultra-high) net worth individuals, institutional investors (e.g. insurance companies), and China’s three sovereign wealth funds (CIC, NCSSF, and SAFE).
