Bridgewater CIO: Hong Kong plays an important role in pan-Asian securitization

Bob Prince, Co-Chief Investment Officer of Bridgewater Associates, stated at the Hong Kong Financial Summit that from a business perspective, Hong Kong has a very broad outlook in the pan-Asian region. Although capital markets across Asia are continuously expanding, the level of securitization in various places is very low, but Hong Kong has the potential to play a very important role in this, and the Greater Bay Area concept is also very good. When asked how Trump's return to the White House would affect the U.S. economy and markets, he pointed out that the market has uncertainties, and Trump seems to deliberately want to create uncertainty. Although his policies are favorable for business, they are expected to pose a risk of inflation returning, which will affect the choice of the Federal Reserve Chairman in a year and a half. He also noted that the Trump administration does not want interest rates to fall, while the market initially expected interest rates to decline, which would be more favorable for the stock market. Regarding his past profitable investments in the Chinese market, he stated that the investment strategy focuses on investment balance and will pay attention to the macroeconomic situation and liquidity of different markets
