Investing in China

A groundbreaking title that explores the new and developing opportunities for foreign investors in China’s transforming stock and capital markets, at this critical point in their history.

The author, Winston Ma, is one of a small number of native Chinese that have worked as an investment banker and practicing capital markets attorney in both the United States and China. He brings a unique and invaluable insight to this increasingly important focus for international investment.

Investing in China is an accessible read - it describes current market developments, financial products and transactions in a practical manner, avoiding complex maths. With a clear approach and engaging writing style, Winston Ma provides an authoritative overview of the historic opening up of these markets.

• Acquire a cutting-edge picture of China’s stock market at the birth of a new era;

• Appreciate the increasingly active foreign M&A and MBO markets, as China accelerates both State-Owned Enterprises privatisation and M&A framework modernisation;
• Understand the unique trading behaviour and structuring features of the investment vehicles resulting from the "Chinese characteristics" of the market and regulatory landscape;
