An
analyst at
investments advisory specialist Charles Stanley has joined
other analysts in predicting that Chinese investments will continue
to produce attractive returns this year.
Shauna Bevan, collectives analyst at Charles Stanley, has made her
comments after reviewing figures from the FTSE All-World Review
dated December 2006.
While stating that China was the world's best performing
stock market in 2006, Ms Bevan expressed her belief that
several factors could potentially have an adverse impact upon
returns in 2007.
Increased market volatility, risk associated with possible
political and
exchange rate instability, and fragmentation of the share
market could all be problematic, she warned.
But despite all this, we believe China will continue to
perform well relative to other regions for the foreseeable
future, she asserted.
In recent weeks, several investments commentators have commented on
the probable trends that will be seen in China in 2007.
Christian Deseglise, global head of emerging markets
business at
HSBC Investments, predicted that China's economic
growth will remain healthy this year.
Meanwhile, Henk Potts, equity strategist at
banking investments offshoot Barclays
Stockbrokers
, anticipated a good performance from China's
largest companies.
