Thematic (Sector/Industry)

Despite China's risks and macroeconomic issues, we believe even small rates of growth will yield significant opportunities for luxury firms.China's size, economic growth potential, and ultimate expansion of the high-end consumer market can substantially alter the outlook for many brands.With Chinese consumers already responsible for 30% of global luxury goods purchases, the continued growth of wealthy and upper-middle-class consumers appears to offer great potential, but also a high basis of comparison.We believe the market will experience solid growth, driven by the vast number of consumers entering the middle class. With this trend, we believe Chinese consumers will behave more like their Western counterparts, with more frequent lifestyle purchases of aspirational luxuries on a per household basis and fewer purchases of status symbol goods that were often a store of wealth.We see brands such as Ralph Lauren, Tiffany, Burberry, and Swatch as the most likely beneficiaries.Analyst: Paul Swinland
