CLSA has increased its investment in Indian stocks while decreasing its investment in Chinese stocks. This decision comes after a period of optimism about the Chinese market, which has since faded due to concerns about trade tensions with the US and a lack of significant economic stimulus from Beijing.

Read why has CLSA reversed its allocation strategy, raising investment in Indian equities while cutting China exposure.

In just over a week since Donald Trump won the US Presidency, Hong Kong-based brokerage firm CLSA raised its India allocation to a 20 per cent overweight, while cutting exposure to China. This is seen as a tactical reversal from its early October update when it went ‘overweight’ on China following Beijing’s first stimulus on September 24.

China's recent economic woes, including trade tensions with the US and falling property prices, will likely continue to weigh on the Chinese equity market, it believes.
