How confident are CEOs as they lean in to 2024? Is inflation still a major worry for businesses or has it been banished? How concerned are company managers about shifting geopolitics?

For well over a decade we’ve been asking our worldwide network of sector analysts these questions (and about 80 more) - to get a unique bottom-up picture of the companies they cover. Their conclusions form Fidelity International's annual Analyst Survey.

This month, FionaO'Neill, Head of Global Cross-Asset Research Capabilities, Gita Bal, Global Head of Fixed Income Research, and Kris Atkinson, Fixed Income Portfolio Manager, join Richard Edgar to dig through the results. 

With additional contributions from analysts Liz Brockway, Eric Tse and Aki Takaesu.

Rich Pickings: The long-term themes challenging investors

The story of China's economy and stock market has long been one of rapid growth. But as policymakers pivot to focus on the quality - instead of the velocity - of growth, investors are turning their attention to something more long-lasting: shareholder returns.

Dividends and buybacks are moving up the agenda of regulators and companies in China, generating interest for investors across the market, even in sectors of the so-called ‘old’ economy.

In this episode, Catherine Yeung, Investment Director, and Marty Dropkin, Head of Equities for Asia Pacific, are joined by two of Fidelity International’s portfolio managers: Lynda Zhou and Dale Nicholls. Together, they explore a change in the mindset of Chinese management teams, which industries are most prepared to ramp up payouts for their shareholders, and the role of regulators and investors in the process.

With additional contributions from Shanghai-based analyst Bunny Huang and Singapore-based Portfolio Manager Jochen Breuer.

The Investor's Guide to China: Shareholder return (#29)

Where people live within China - and why - is fundamental to understanding the country’s changing demographics. That, in turn, has important implications for the Chinese economy, consumption trends, and where investors should be looking.

In this episode, Catherine Yeung, Investment Director, and Marty Dropkin, Head of Equities, Asia Pacific, take you across China through the lens of Fidelity International’s Asia Economist, Peiqian Liu, and Jarlon Tsang, Managing Partner and Head of China at the venture capital firm Eight Roads, Fidelity’s sister company.

What role do migrants play in the past, present, and future development of the Chinese economy? Which Chinese provinces and cities could be home to the next unicorn? What do emerging migration patterns mean for China's cities and their businesses? And what does all of it mean for property markets?

With additional contributions from Portfolio Manager Hyomi Jie and Shanghai-based analysts Eric Zhu and Fiona Shou.
