China CleanTech Index January 2014 Result Outperforming Chinese and World Markets Again

Sydney, Feb 10, 2014 AEST (ABN Newswire) - The China CleanTech Index recorded a 1.3% gain in January 2014 and outperformed three of its four benchmarks.

The China CleanTech Index rose from 44.37 to 44.93 over the month of January recording a 1.3% gain. This compared to the NEX gain of 3%, the CTIUS loss of 5.8%, the Shanghai Composite loss of 3.9% and the MSCI loss of 3.8%.

The China CleanTech 20 recorded a loss of 4.6% over the month which is an unusual divergence in performance from the wider index and shows that the smaller companies in the index outperformed their larger peers.

The best performing sub-indices for the month were the China Efficiency Index with a 13.3% gain and the China Solar Index with an 8.4% gain, continuing its long run of gains. The two weakest sub-indices through January were the China Hydro Index which recorded a loss of 4.4% and the China Waste Index recording a loss of 2.8%.

The ongoing gains for the sector may be being driven by the heavy smog that has continued to beset much of the central and northern east coast through the winter months.
