Swiss bank seeks to expand its footprint in the country’s $3.9-trillion retail fund market

UBS aims to launch the China fund unit in about two years, the people said. The bank’s asset management arm began hiring key personnel in recent months for the planned business, including a head of the company, one of them said.

It comes amid intensifying competition in the mutual fund industry in the world’s second-largest economy, heightened by the scrapping of foreign ownership caps two years ago. UBS kicked off work late last year to set up the new fund unit after failed attempts to buy full ownership of its China mutual fund joint venture and after the stalling of talks to form a joint asset management business with China Life, the sources said.

Both the sources declined to be named as they were not authorised to speak to the media on the subject.Growth opportunity

AMABHUNGANE: New Frame’s demise shines a light on China-aligned unions, parties and disinformation networksEvidence suggests that the publication was held hostage by its main donor, Roy Singham; that its failure to diversify its funding was a feature, not a bug; and that when it came to be regarded as less useful politically, it was deliberately abandoned, rather than being given the chance to gain real independence. Unanswered questions remain about Singham’s role — and about his relationship with his presumed Chinese overlords. CoruscaKhaya vijayprashad RaniaKhalek For your comments. I have my own views about New Frame/Pithouse in that it slanted the Jacob Zuma years in favour of prevailing wisdom existing among 'liberal' media that favours neoliberalism . Have not seen blow by blow pieces on Phala Phala yet.
