As many of you know, we are very bullish on the long-term future of Chinese small cap and mid cap companies for two reasons:
1] The obvious reason – China is the fastest growing economy on the planet and nothing is going to slow down its ascent over the next 50 years and beyond. Investing in growth companies there just makes too much sense.
2] Great Results and Valuations - Despite some real problems in the Chinese small-cap space, we continue to believe that too many companies have suffered from “babies being thrown out with the bathwater” syndrome. Investors have to remain patient and wait for the smoke to clear – but when it does we see a great opportunity to profit from the real companies that have been left standing. As such, we’re going to continue reporting and remaining patient.
