Investing in China

Anthony Bolton's comments this week have been interesting and the drop by around 8% this week of Bolton's China Special Situations Funds (FCSS) are a stark reminder of the fact that one should always maintain at least an element of awareness of the fact that China is by no means a guaranteed certainty for growth int he coming years.

Having said that though, in reality, the consumer spending and desire of the Chinese people certainly suggests that even if there is a slow down in the Chinese economy over the next year. What Bolton has said is that China will probably slow down BUT it could very well still generate around 8% growth.

If you balance a potential 8% average growth against other possible returns i.e. from UK banks then China still seems a very good bet for the next 12 months.
