I'm just getting back to a square footing with my asset allocation and portfolio model in the US. It's taken a few years to figure out how to be a diversified investor with a long term approach, compared to a tech head growth junkie during the 90's. Yesterday was a brilliant example of diversification, with my stocks increasing my portfolio value .07% and my bonds decreasing my portfolio .17%. Anyways to put in in context of China or anywhere else, start buying good banks, insurance companies, oil stocks, or internet stocks in China. I have 3 US banking stocks - C, JPM, and WB. If I wanted China exposure, the best thing would be to sell JPM and buy a Chinese bank or insurance company like LFC. Repeat with any other industry from utilities and telecom to internet stocks. At this point, I don't see a China portfolio as a separate portfolio, but an expansion of diversity within my industry subgroups where I am searching to improve quality.
