China’s rapidly developing and increasingly liberalised investment management (IM) sector presents a huge opportunity for international financial services groups.
The economy is soaring, markets are maturing and the country’s increasingly affluent citizens have built up residential savings of $1.84 trillion. This represents a savings to GDP ratio of 80%, a potential bonanza for investment managers.

Yet, there is still considerable room for incomers to get in at the ground floor of what remains a fledgling market. Looking ahead, greater freedom in both who can operate and how funds are invested is set to take the sector to a whole new level.
Entering the Chinese investment management industry is the fourth in the FS M&A flyer series and will look at the opportunities opening up in Chinese investment management and how international companies can claim a stake in this increasingly attractive market.
