East Capital
Swedish asset manager East Capital has launched a UCITS version of its China A-Shares strategy.

The new fund will provide investors with easier access to investment opportunities in the Chinese onshore equity markets, facilitated in recent years by capital market reforms and the stock connect programme.

The strategy aims to deliver long-term capital appreciation by investing in high-quality companies across China. It will incorporate ESG considerations within its investment and stock selection process. It will be benchmarked against the MSCI China A Index.
