AmCham Shanghai's Financial Services Committee (FSC) will host an event on 2024 China Investment Outlook on Thursday, April 11 from 12:00 - 1:30 pm in the AmCham Shanghai Conference Room.
As China continues to assert its position as a global economic powerhouse, understanding the complexity of its investment landscape is crucial for investors and businesses seeking growth and diversification.
Engage with leading industry experts and thought leaders as they discuss the latest trends, opportunities and challenges in China's investment ecosystem. This panel event will include top experts who will compare different investment strategies including: long-term investing versus short-term trading, private versus public markets, onshore (RMB) versus offshore (USD) exposure, as well as top-down versus bottom-up and value versus growth approaches. The event will start with a brief primer by Han Lin (NYU Shanghai) on the China economy. We will then be joined by a panel of financial experts consisting of Michael Zhang (Softbank), Wenjie Lu (BlackRock), Brett Barna (Barna Family Office) and Nan Li (Jiao Tong University) who will share their insights on the China investment landscape.
Lunch will NOT be provided.
