ATax enables Chinese investors to maximise ChAFTA opportunities

Investment opportunities are rife amid the enforcement of the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement (ChAFTA), which is set to build a highly complementary relationship between the two countries and benefit investors, exporters, importers and consumers alike.

Chinese investors, in particular, stand to gain the most as they enjoy reduced tariffs and relaxed investment regulatory barriers in Australia, which has become China's largest import market for goods and services.

"The entire foreign investment landscape is changing, making it more crucial than ever to find a reliable partner who can help Chinese investors navigate Australia's investment options and make the best decisions," says 

Ben Au, chairman of asset manager ATax Financial Group. "Among the industries that are set to largely benefit from the ChAFTA's reduction in trade barriers is agriculture, as Australia is China's biggest foreign agricultural produce supplier."

Such in-depth knowledge in the local economy and specialised industries makes ATax the investment strategy expert of choice for clients across Australia and China. From an accounting firm to an end-to-end wealth manager, it continues to solidify its role as a one-stop solutions provider for Chinese investors - including significant investor visa applicants - through its managed investment schemes that are regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.

Apart from providing access to its master fund, ATax also helps clients create their own funds or find prospective agricultural lands and properties to invest in. The firm has reinforced its client commitment further by acquiring a top wealth management company. It will also open a customer centre in Beijing in September to complement its headquarters in Sydney and offices in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Nanjing.
