Why consider investing in Fidelity China Special Situations PLC?

Since its launch in 2010, the trust has offered direct exposure to China’s growth story; from tech giants right the way through to entrepreneurial medium and small-sized companies, and even new businesses which are yet to launch on the stock market. Portfolio manager Dale Nicholls looks to identify and invest in companies that are best placed to capitalise on China’s incredible transformation. Investing in China’s most compelling growth drivers Dale believes a vast and still expanding middle class is increasingly driving stock market returns in China.

China is well established now as a major driver of growth and investment performance, not just in Asia, but in the wider world. The sheer size of China’s economy, its continued growth and ever-increasing global importance, should see investors increase their exposure to China as part of a balanced investment portfolio.
