Interest in Chinese assets was particularly pronounced among sovereign funds in Asia-Pacific and Africa, with 88 per cent and 80 per cent, respectively, expressing intentions to increase their investments.
Around 73 per cent of North American funds, which are focused on long-term structural opportunities, showed a willingness to increase their exposure to China.
The global funds cited several factors when justifying their increased China investments. Some 71 per cent identified strong returns made in China, 63 per cent said they wanted to diversify and 45 per cent cited increased market access for foreign investors.
The most attractive sectors for investment in China were digital technology and software, advanced manufacturing and automation, and clean energy and green technology, the report said.
