For Chinese citizens the Year of the Ox began on February 12. Horoscopes for this year say it is a good one for building up reserves and making long-term investments. During the week ending Feb. 24 investors appeared to be taking this to heart. China Bond Funds set a new weekly inflow record and China Equity Funds posted their second largest inflow since EPFR started tracking them while flows into Hong Kong Equity Funds hit a 24-week high.

The first week of September saw EPFR-tracked Money Market Funds absorb over $65 billion as investors waited to see which way interest rate winds are blowing in the US and Eurozone. Also giving them pause for thought are the health of China’s economy, the durability of the latest bump in oil prices and the resilience of key real estate markets.
