As China's economic growth exceeded expectations in the first quarter and the new "National Nine Rules" were implemented, foreign institutions have been bullish on A-shares in succession. At the same time, with the disclosure of the first quarterly report of listed companies, QFII (Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor) appeared in the list of top ten shareholders of tradable shares of many companies, with an obvious increase in shareholding. In addition, the positions of many foreign public funds such as BlackRock in their heavy positions in the first quarter have been unveiled one after another. Schroder Fund and Lianbo Fund issued the first equity product, releasing a signal of continuing to overweight the Chinese market and full of confidence in China's economy and market prospects.

   Foreign Capital Firmly Sings More A-shares

Based on such factors as optimistic about China's economic growth prospects and large room for A-share valuation improvement, many foreign institutions have been singing more and more about China's assets.

UBS upgraded MSCI China Index to "overweight".

Goldman Sachs believes that with the improvement and standardization of the A-share capital market system, it is expected that there will still be more value to be released in the stock market. The potential for valuation improvement is about 20%, and more optimistic estimates may be up to 40% of the potential upside.

Morgan Stanley also maintained its position of standard allocation of Chinese stock market, preferring A-share to offshore Chinese market.

According to the survey of HSBC Holdings, more than 90% of emerging market funds began to increase their holdings in China's stock market.

Huang Senwei, senior market strategist of Lianbo Fund, told the reporter of Securities Daily that A-shares have configuration advantages. In addition to the relatively low proportion of foreign capital, relevant policies aimed at improving the quality and corporate governance of listed companies have just begun to be introduced one after another, representing many high-quality enterprises with abundant cash flow and stable dividend distribution ability still need to be explored by the market.

"Compared with the increase of American stocks in recent years, which is concentrated in a few large technology stocks, A-share investment opportunities are relatively extensive." Huang Senwei further said that, for example, export-oriented "China's invisible champion" enterprises with increasing overseas market share, high dividend enterprises benefiting from the domestic low interest rate environment and capital market reform policies, and undervalued cyclical stocks that are expected to benefit from stimulus policies and economic recovery.
