ST. LOUIS, Sept. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Fund managers' investment performance, brand credibility and online communications are key factors to attract Chinese investors, according to a new report published today by FleishmanHillard.
The report, The Future of Asset Management in China 2020, offers insights to global asset managers assessing opportunities in China. It is the second annual China-focused asset management report published by FleishmanHillard, which features analysis drawn from an online survey of mainland Chinese investors' attitudes and behavior, plus an overview of the latest industry trends.
The key findings of the report show that when selecting a fund manager, mainland Chinese investors put emphasis on performance, credibility and online communications. However, while Chinese investors will pay higher fees for foreign fund management relative to local managers, they expect to get some added value in the form of unique investment strategies and capabilities. Notably, ESG product offerings are a requirement for the majority.
"Despite the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical issues, the asset management industry in China continued to grow healthily thanks to the ongoing relaxation of market access rules for overseas asset managers," said Patrick Yu, Asia Pacific lead for FleishmanHillard's Financial and Professional Services practice. "Our second China-focused asset management report provides useful insights to help industry players understand investor expectations and plan their communications programs more effectively. Understanding the industry landscape and having a well-thought out communications strategy continue to be important for overseas asset managers to flourish and attract mainland investors."
The report includes the following findings from mainland investors:
