More foreign specialists with experience in mature market are willing to join China-based team to introduce advanced investment and management strategy, however, as we mentioned before, China is not a liberal market, it would be better to hire local talents (junior to senior level) to set up the new business here.
QDII quota eventually will be renewed after 3 years' backwater state. Potentially the business will welcome a new boom. Talents familiar with overseas market and products are becoming hot again.
With so many ways to invest in China market, the QFII business is declining. Candidates who only have QFII experience should begin to consider where to go for further development.
