Danish pension funds are sticking to their investments in Chinese equities despite new and increasing risks in the world’s second-largest economy, shows a survey of the country’s pension funds conducted by AMWatch’s Danish sister media FinansWatch, based on a review of the funds’ exposure to Chinese equities.

”The approach to China has not changed fundamentally but, having said that, several risks associated with investments in China, including geopolitical risks, are more apparent today,” says Morten Rask Nymark, head of equities at Industriens Pension, in a written comment.

Mikael Bek, head of ESG at PenSam, agrees.

”As a global investor, Pensam invests broadly - also in Chinese bonds and equities. The geopolitical situation has naturally led to a critical focus on our exposure to China,” says Bek.
