Praises for "Investing in China"

Reviewed by Dr Zhiwu Chen, Professor of Finance, Yale University School of Management

Winston Ma's book, Investing in China, offers a state-of-the-art coverage on what investment vechicles are available today in China. Given the fast pace of financial innovations there, his authoritative, detailed and practical introduction into China's capital markets is timely and the most up-to-date. As is often the case, financial products in China are not always exactly what their names would suggest to a Westerner. Studying their "Chinese characteristics" is a must. This is a book recommended for anyone interested in investment opportunities and recent developments in China.

Investing in China is a thorough and very readable explanation of the evolution and current situation of China's stock market. It covers not just equities and quasi-equity instruments, but also strategies for active as well as passive investors to enter and grow in one of the world's largest and fastest growing economies. Few are better equipped to handle a project of this breadth and complexity than Winson Ma, trained in the law and an investment banker by trade, as comfortable in China as he is in New York.
