About Us

The world is tilting eastward. Funds are flowing to Asia, and to China in particular. But thus far the lion's share of investor exposure to the rise of China is gained through a limited number of mainland companies listed in Hong Kong. Shanghai remains peripheral - for now.


At FT China Confidential, a team of researchers on China at the Financial Times, we think that a lot is about to change. Not only is the recent rebound in Shanghai stocks boosting investor interest but the growing sophistication of the domestic Chinese funds industry is also highlighting the opportunities that exist in one of the world's fastest-growing stockmarkets. In addition, Chinese money is surging overseas - and searching for the best managers in New York, London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai, Sao Paulo and elsewhere as it does so.


China Confidential Funds, a new research service launched by FT China Confidential in October, is dedicated to illuminating the mainland fund industry. Our team of fund industry experts in Shanghai search out the interesting trends in fund performance, strategy, interactions with overseas funds, regulatory changes, distribution and management. We also use a proprietary system to track the emerging flows of Chinese money.
