What`s driving the growth of China`s healthcare market?
3 reasons for investors to participate in the growth of China’s healthcare sector:
An ageing population
The Chinese middle class is growing and getting older. By 2049, older people are likely to outnumber the young in China. They are becoming more health-conscious and are demanding high-quality health products and services. Modern cancer therapies are replacing traditional healing methods, for example. Due to rising incomes, Chinese people are also spending more on their health.
Focus on research and development
Due to technological progress, many Chinese companies are already industry leaders. A new focus is on research and development in the medical field, ranging from modern medical devices through to innovative drugs. An increasing number of international corporations are commissioning Chinese companies to develop drugs. Through reforms in the healthcare system, medicines are approved faster and the quality is improved.
Easier access for innovative companies
The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) approves promising companies faster, and young biotech firms find it easier to list on the stock exchange. In addition, there are more investments from capital providers.

As this fund is invested in a particular country, you should be prepared to accept greater fluctuations in the value of the fund than for a fund with a broader investment mandate. The fund may invest in certain securities listed in China which can involve significant regulatory constraints that may affect the liquidity and/or the investment performance of the fund. The fund invests in a limited number of holdings and is less diversified. This may result in large fluctuations in the value of the fund.
