As the year draws to a close, the intertwining of global economic shifts and market opportunities presents a critical juncture for investors to anchor their investment strategies. GTHT, aligned with its strategic goal of building a top-tier investment bank, leverages a global perspective and promotes inclusive finance to help investors enhance their long-term investment success rates. On December 18, GTHT launched a special live broadcast titled "A Strong Start," featuring an in-depth dialogue with Jim Rogers, an international investment maestro who has invested in China for 40 years and remains a long-term bull on China's capital markets. The discussion, joined by GTHT's top investment advisors and the chief economist of Guotai Junan International, delved into key topics such as opportunities in Chinese assets, global economic trends, and fundamental investment logic, offering investors insights that cut through market noise.
Jim Rogers, ranked alongside Warren Buffett and George Soros as one of the "Big Three Investors," co-founded the Quantum Fund and achieved a staggering 4,200% portfolio return over a decade. Notably, Rogers was among the earliest foreign investors to make significant bets on China and has repeatedly expressed long-term optimism about China's capital markets. The special broadcast aired on platforms including the GTHT app, Lingxi App, and Phoenix Finance. During the program, Rogers reaffirmed his commitment to holding Chinese assets and his bullish outlook on China's capital markets.
"China remains a focal point for me," Rogers stated. "I hold many Chinese stocks and am optimistic about China's future. In the next decade and century, China will emerge as the world's most important economy, which means abundant opportunities." He highlighted sectors benefiting from China's growth, such as tourism, transportation, and aviation, as well as undervalued agricultural industries. Rogers also praised the resilience of China's capital markets: "Over the past few years, China's market has shown remarkable resilience. While many markets collapsed, China remained stable. If another major downturn occurs, I hope to increase my holdings in Chinese assets because they will undoubtedly demonstrate resilience again."
Discussing global market trends, Rogers pointed out that most markets have been on an upward trajectory since 2009—a historically rare prolonged boom. However, he cautioned that when everyone profits effortlessly for an extended period, risks become more pronounced. On the much-debated AI sector, Rogers acknowledged that any new development eventually leads to bubbles, and AI is no exception. However, he believes AI has not yet reached bubble territory and warrants no immediate concern.
Regarding precious metals, Rogers revealed his long-term bullish stance, disclosing holdings in gold and silver. While he refrains from adding positions due to recent all-time highs, he sees long-term value and plans to increase exposure if prices retreat.
Rogers offered timeless advice to investors: "Stick to what you know. Ignore hot tips from others and avoid noise from TV or the internet." He urged young investors to eschew浮躁心态 (impatience) and focus on their strengths for sustainable wealth accumulation.
To complement the insights from the program, the GTHT app distilled actionable investment strategies tailored for Chinese investors, offering intelligent tools aligned with Rogers' approach to seize opportunities in China's 2026 capital markets.
