Index Slumps with Shanghai Exchange

All of the sub-indices fared poorly over the month. The best performing sub-indices for the month were the China Solar Index with a 15.8% loss and the China Hydro Index with a 15.9% loss. The two weakest sub-indices through January were the China Efficiency Index with 32.8% loss and the China Storage Index with a 29.7% loss.

China & Environment Provides Strong Investment Thesis
The combined investment themes of China and environment provide a compelling case for investment. The sector remains volatile as it matures and reacts to environmental and industry development policy shifts. The quality and scale of the companies included in the sector varies widely and strong research into both sub-sectors and companies is essential before committing to the sector. However, the cleantech sector in China presents a very strong medium term investment thesis and the China CleanTech Index provides the first level of data to enable informed investment decisions to be made.
