What will the year of the sheep bring?
Source: J. P. Morgan Asset Management. As at 31 Dec 2014.
The targets and aims provided are the Investment Manager’s targets and aims only. There is no guarantee that these targets and aims will be achieved.
The opinions and views expressed here are as at the date of this document, which are subject to change and are not to be taken as or construed as investment advice.
China is entering a ‘new normal’ phase where debt/GDP is being stabilized and incremental reforms are being
rolled out using the anti-corruption campaign as the stick (and survival as the carrot)
GDP growth is likely to continue a deceleration path towards a theoretical sustainable rate of 6.5% in the next 5
years
There will be growth areas: organic (e-Commerce, SUV auto sales), policy-driven (environmental) or both
(healthcare)
We also see opportunities in the financials sector given expected monetary easing

The PBoC surprised the market with an interest rate cut…
… followed by an announcement to broaden the
definition of deposits
PBoC will expand the base for calculating loan-to-deposit ratios by
including savings geld by banks for non-deposit taking financial
institutions into bank deposits
Under current rules, banks in China are allowed to lend up to 75% of
their deposits held
The new definition should make an additional 5 – 5.5 trillion Yuan
available, which is expected to ease liquidity conditions and lower
financing costs for domestic companies
