Their dollar (YUAN,RMB) is greatly undervalued and will have no choice but rising in value over the next decade. I want in on that rise? Any ideas, Any ways to invest now in the currency so when it rising I don’t only get the benefits of accrued interest but the increased value of the YUAN?
How can I buy or invest in China (mainland) Currency?
Your first responder gave you a partially correct answer. An excellent way to take advantage of the undervalued currency is to invest in Chinese assets. Your 1st responder is not quite correct in that only Chinese can invest in Chinese companies. There are a few ways around that. Many Chinese companies are traded on the Hong Kong exchange. These can be invested in by foreign investors. Also there are mutual funds that can and do invest in the Chinese A shares which foreign individuals can not currently invest in. But mutual funds can. CAF is such a fund. CHN also but not to the extent of CAF. Stocks that U S investors can buy are CHL, ACH and about 20 to 30 others. They are traded on the U S exchanges.
The advantage of owning shares is that your investment is growing with the Chinese economy, which I might add is growing very rapidly.
Reply:Invest in Chinese assets. Since you would need to buy these assets with Chinese currency, it would essentially have the currency appriciation with it. Since some investments can lose value easily, and others don't change much I would go with the safest investments. Perhaps real estate. Chinese real estate is booming. If you don't have enough money to get into real estate, try a bank account. If you have RMB just leave it in the bank and let it accrue interest. This might not work if inflation is greater than interest rates. I would go into stocks, but only Chinese citizens are allowed to own them. If you know any Chinese people that you can trust, then have them hold the assets for you in stock perhaps.
