Contemplating China
China is now the dominant exposure within popular EM Equity benchmarks. So what does this mean for the majority of portfolios that have direct or indirect exposure to the country?

In this session, Jason Hsu, Chairman & CIO of Rayliant will explore:

  • China versus a more diversified EM exposure
  • The investment thesis for China for a global investor
  • Whether or not a "western-centric" approach to investing works in China

Jason is founder, chairman and CIO of Rayliant Global Advisors (RGA), a global investment management group with more than US$25 billion in assets managed using its strategies, as of Dec 31, 2020. Rayliant applies quantitative methods to access behavioral-based alpha prevalent in inefficient markets like China. Jason also co-founded Research Affiliates, a smart beta and asset allocation leader with over US$145 billion in assets managed using its strategies.

Jason sits on the editorial board of the Financial Analysts Journal, the Journal of Investment Management, the Journal of Investment Consulting and the Journal of Index Investing. He is an adjunct professor of finance at UCLA Anderson School of Management, and a visiting professor at Tsinghua University (China), Kyoto University (Japan) and National Chengchi University (Taiwan).

Jason has published more than 40 journal articles and is a contributing author to nine handbooks in finance and economics. He has won two Graham and Dodd Scroll Awards; one Graham and Dodd Reader’s Choice Award; one Graham and Dodd most prestigious award, three Bernstein Fabozzi/Jacob Levy Awards; and three William F. Sharpe Awards. He also co-invented the Fundamental Index, awarded best index by Global Pensions magazine in 2007, 2008 and 2009.

Jason received his Ph.D. in finance from UCLA Anderson School of Management. He received his M.S. from Stanford University and B.S. from the California Institute of Technology.
