THERE is an austere gap between Chinese investors' targets of annual investment income and the actual returns they received, a recent survey showed.
Chinese investors are seeking a mean annual rate of return of 10.5 percent, higher than the actual return of 7.1 percent, Legg Mason Global Asset Management said in a survey report released yesterday.
"This gap is likely to be wider in reality given the disparity between asset class performance over the last 12 months and the return investor believe they are getting from their income-based investments," said Matt Schiffman, managing director and head of global marketing at the Legg Mason.
The survey also found that 76 percent of polled Chinese investors believed that "now is a good time to invest in fixed-income products" and 43 percent of them planned to increased their exposures to fixed-income assets.
Inflation, uncertainty in the global political and economic situation, lack of transparency, complexity and lack of liquidity are major concerns for Chinese investors, according to the report.
The report based on a survey of 3,000 affluent investors with investable assets of more than US$200,000 in 13 markets, including 200 of them in Chinese mainland.
