CITIC CLSA China Event will take place in Hong Kong on 19-20 April 2023

Hong Kong – 20 March 2023: The CITIC CLSA China Event will take place in Hong Kong on 19-20 April 2023, bringing together 120 institutional investors and 85 senior executives from 52 leading Chinese companies, along with an exceptional lineup of expert speakers to deliver actionable insights. The Event will focus on four main themes: Macro, property and finance; Consumer recovery; Innovation and security; and Energy resources and environment.

Reopening, as well as supportive policies for the property sector and the digital platform-based economy, could mark China as an outperformer in a year of weak world trade. CITIC CLSA’s equity strategists believe the removal of asymmetric risk means 2023 could drive a return to fundamentals in pricing Chinese assets, resulting in a 10% overweight for the domestic market. Over two themed days, our China stock analysts will highlight key domestic players ripe for recovery and multiple-rerating, especially in the internet, consumer, healthcare and financial segments, as our regional teams look forward to a tourism uptick following the easing of Covid controls.

Hans Fan, Deputy Head of HK/China Research at CITIC CLSA, said: “China is back in the game. The government’s 5% GDP growth target means that stable development will be the key theme for China in 2023. Against this backdrop, China is well positioned to provide extraordinary opportunities for global investors as consumption picks up and the property sector gradually recovers. Our CITIC CLSA China Event is committed to connecting onshore and offshore corporates and investors, through networking opportunities and best-in-class China expertise.”

Apart from large-group presentations, the CITIC CLSA China Event will also provide attendees meaningful interactions with China’s top players via one-on-one and small-group meetings. The two-day event will also tap into CITIC Securities’ broad network of relationships with corporates, government experts and industry specialists in China and connect investors with attractive, hard-to-access A-share firms.

Ding Luo, Deputy Head of HK/China Research at CITIC CLSA, added: “This is a rare opportunity for the investment community to access integrated research from top-tier CITIC CLSA and CITIC Securities’ analysts with a deep on-the-ground knowledge of key industry and sector growth opportunities across China. By leveraging CITIC Securities’ strong China expertise and CITIC CLSA’s international coverage and viewpoints, our CITIC CLSA China Event is a must-attend conference for investors looking to tap into the massive potential of the China market.”
