Investing in China

Tomorrow I will spend the day at KU professor George Bittlingmayer's Investing in China Conference. Professor Bittlingmayer is a Wagnon Distinguished Professor of Finance and this conference should be a great event.

It is really a good deal for KU and for Kansas City, because there will be portfolio manager and expert in investing in China coming to Overland Park from all over the globe. This is part of the University of Kansas Business School's attempt to become a real opinion leader in finance and investing.

China is probably the hottest topic in the investment world. It is a huge country by virtually every measure possible, and growing faster than any large nation on the globe. China faces a series of challenges as it grows, and those challenges are part of what can make China a difficult and confusing place to invest and do business. The opportunities are virtually endless, but so are the potential pitfalls. Tomorrow we will hear from expert in Chinese business, investing, and culture, it should be an interesting day for anyone investing any money in the next ten years.

I will be writing a series of articles for Professor Bittlingmayer based on this conference, so I will keep everyone updated and will probably post some of the highlights to this site.
