UBS outlines a strategy for navigating China's 'slow bull' market, characterized by the stock market replacing property as a wealth reservoir and supported by long-term capital inflows.

Key Takeaways

  • 1.The A-share market is strategically replacing property as China's primary wealth reservoir to offset negative wealth effects from the real estate downturn.
  • 2.Investors should structurally overweight growth styles, particularly in the 'greater tech' sector (electronics, telecoms, computer, and national defence) which aligns with self-reliance initiatives.
  • 3.Long-term capital inflows from ETFs, insurance funds, and the 'national team' (Central Huijin) are structural stabilisers reducing market volatility.
