Let China’s Middle Class Lead You Into Luxury

Tony Daltorio, Investment U Research

According to the World Bank, the global middle class could grow to 1.15 billion in 2030 – a huge jump from the 430 million middle class folks in 2000.

Driving the extraordinary growth is… you guessed it, the emerging “BRIC” nations. In 2000, developing countries like China, Brazil and India accounted for 56% of that number. But by 2030, analysts expect it to climb as high as 93%… with China alone accounting for 52% of the expected increase.

This represents a tremendous amount of wealth. A Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) executive compared it to adding a city the size of New York to the world… every three months.

Needless to say, that opens up amazing opportunities. But in order to succeed, companies who want to profit from this

Our friend Andy Rothman from research firm CLSA sent out an interesting chart last week following the release of Chinarsquo;s macroeconomic data for the month of September. As you can see from the chart, private investment (Non State-Owned Enterprises) growth accelerated to 37 percent on a year-over-year basis, a more rapid rate than that of state-owned enterprises. This is the first time wersquo;ve seen this happen since October of last year and it is the fastest rate of growth since November 2007. A more confident private sector should not only make Chinarsquo;s ongoing recovery more sustainable in a time of diminishing government-mandated stimulus, but also facilitate the structural transition of the Chinese economy toward private consumption. The private investment revival is largely driven by the real estate sector, which has seen inventory levels drop in major cities like Beijing and Shanghai. CLSArsquo;s on the ground survey revealed that 50 percent of middle-class families ...

Emerging Asia’s role in the market for high-end luxury goods is mushrooming, reflecting a shift eastward in the global balance of spending power. This shift has crept along for years but has accelerated recently due to the global economic crisis, which has hampered economic growth in many countries. US consumers ended up living beyond their means by borrowing against asset bubbles – housing, stocks, etc. – which have burst and may be weak for years.

By contrast, household spending by Asia’s developing nations is expected to increase as continued growth, rising populations and improving health/retirement provisions reduce the need for families to save for the proverbial rainy day. This is particularly true in China – which, unknown to most US investors, is already the third largest luxury market in the world, behind only the United States and Japan.

A new ETF giving access to Chinese A shares is to be launched in Singapore next month.

The United FTSE Xinhua China A50 ETF, to be offered by the asset management subsidiary of United Overseas Bank (UOB), will be the first China A-shares fund to be denominated and traded in Singapore dollars.

Chinese A shares are denominated and traded in Chinese yuan and listed on the Shanghai or Shenzhen stock exchanges. Historically, access to the A-shares market in China has been limited to Chinese nationals and qualified foreign institutional investors (QFIIs) approved by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC).

The FTSE Xinhua China A50 Index is designed to measure the performance of the 50 largest China A-shares companies, based on market capitalization.

ETFs tracking A shares are already dominant in the Asian market. The Hong Kong-listed iShares Asia Trust, which also tracks the FTSE Xinhua A50 Index, is the largest Asian ETF, with $6.7

Amid a weak retail environment, Coach, Inc. (COH), the designer and marketer of fine accessories and gifts, recently reported first-quarter 2010 results that topped expectations. Coach’s quarterly earnings of 44 cents a share surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 39 cents, but remained flat compared to the prior-year quarter. The better-than-expected result was buoyed by the successful launch of the Poppy collection, which includes a new line of handbags, footwear, watches and other accessories at a comparatively low price. Total net sales showed a marginal increase of 1.2% year-on-year to $761.4 million, driven by an 8.0% gain achieved at North American stores and strong growth in the China business with a double-digit rate increase in comparable-store sales. Comps at North American stores fell 1.1%, a sharp improvement from a 6.1% decline registered in the previous quarter. The rise in sales was a positive indication for ...
