INVESTORS looking to put money into China might do well to explore the unit trusts offered by Jardine Fleming.
The JF Greater China Trust divides US$75 million in assets between the stock exchanges of Hong Kong, Taiwan and China.
'These markets carry certain amounts of risk but all yield high returns,' investment director Patrick Wong, of Jardine Fleming Unit Trust, said. Since February, the fund had shot up 30 per cent.
Mr Wong said Jardine analysts were eager to see China lower its bank's interest rates.
'Indicators lead us to believe this will happen in the next two months,' he said.
He said government infrastructure investments would further fuel the market.
Mr Wong said the Greater China Fund only had 10 per cent of its total holdings directly in the Shenzhen and Shanghai exchanges. The trust's remaining assets were divided between stocks listed on the Taiwan and Hong Kong exchanges.
