Navigating Investment Opportunities and Risk Management with Equities First Holdings
HONG KONG SAR – 7 November 2022 – In collaboration with Economist Impact, Equities First Holdings Limited is thrilled to announce the second episode of podcast series Shelter from the storm: Investing in the Era of Uncertainty hosted on channel Asia Perspectives by Economist Impact.
Covering all topics from investment opportunities to risk management, the Equities First Holdings partnership with a subsidiary of The Economist group will consist of a total of five episodes, with an aim to educate listeners from wealth management experts and beyond.
Episode One of the podcast series featured the realignment of global supply chains in the Asia Pacific region under the inspection of the pandemic, deteriorating trade relations and ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. Moreover, it raises the question of how it impacts the region’s biggest trade market, China.
Equities First Holdings Limited and Economist Impact explores this topic by introducing Episode Two, Can China’s economic slowdown create opportunities in Asia?, through the lens of the Sino-American trade war and the dwindling property market.
The Impact of a Destabilised Sino-American Relationship
As trade relations between China and the United States continue to deteriorate, Chinese companies sharing trade on US exchanges risk facing delisting and losing access to American capital.
Despite moving towards an era of self-sufficiency — economic downturn due to an overheated housing market appears inevitable — and this shift will only further corner Chinese companies who face the brunt of the consequences.
