Has China ‘Come of Age’?
China continues to be a big story for Australia on the back of the mining boom, however, its story of growth has now transitioned to one spurred on by a burgeoning middle class looking to tap into our services industry. As China continues to develop into a modern economy Nikko Asset Management believes we need to reframe our thinking around it to ensure we continue to benefit from its growth, as well as viewing it through the greater lens as it relates to global equity allocation.
Is There Still Value to be Found in Developed Markets?
In an age where asset prices have risen steadily for years it can be difficult to uncover value. Advisers need to help their clients apply a strategic filter across their portfolios to evaluate their investments and ensure they are aligned with their goals. More importantly, advisers need to think critically about the fund managers they’re working with: how they assess value and what gives them an edge – all with the end client in mind.
The Connected Client: What is the Expectation for Engagement?
We live in a world where there’s no shortage of investment information for advisers and investors, but how do you cut through the noise to make informed decisions? Nikko Asset Management questions whether the flood of information is doing more harm than good. Managing director Sam Hallinan makes a case for why it’s now more important than ever for investment managers to filter the messaging they send advisers so they can, in turn, have meaningful conversations with their clients to help them realise their investment potential and manage their behaviour.
