The Woo Group To Open Shenzhen Composite Index Fund

Online, August 16, 2013 (Newswire.com) - The Shanghai Composite, mainland China´s main benchmark, is down more than 5% on the year and the Hang Seng in Hong Kong has not fared much better. But a smaller index in Southern China, the Shenzhen Composite Index has gone against the trend and is up more than 14% on the year and is one of the best performing markets in Asia. While the Shanghai Composite is mainly composed of large state owned companies the Shenzhen market is mainly composed of younger small and middle sized private companies. The market also has many small technology sector firms, making it similar to the Nasdaq in the United States.

The index fund will be comprised of 40 firms, which analysts at The Woo Group believe will outperform this already thriving market. The fund will be actively managed and periodically rebalanced to ensure the highest levels of profit. Initially, 60% of the fund will be invested into technology, healthcare and, property development firms; the remaining 40% will be divided amongst a broad range of sectors.

"We at The Woo Group believe that the drivers of the next phase of Chinese growth will not be the megalithic industrial and financial stocks traded in Shanghai but smaller technology companies, property developers and healthcare firms with large growth potential. Although economic growth is slowing in China and there are concerns over the stability of the banking system, our analysts are confident that our new Shenzhen Composite Index Fund will generate consistent profits," said Chief Executive Officer Jason Woo during a telephone interview on Thursday.
