The pending Evergrande bankruptcy is not a systemic shock with the potential to ripple through financial markets, says Nick Niziolek, CFA, Co-CIO, Head of Global Strategies, Senior Co-Portfolio Manager, in this Quick Take video.
There’s a key difference, he says, between Evergrande and the Sept. 15, 2008, collapse of Lehman Brothers, which required an emergency response from global policymakers at the start of what would turn into the Great Financial Crisis. In contrast, Niziolek says, the Chinese government for the last year has signaled that they would curtail their support of China’s highly leveraged property market and that defaults were to be expected.
Watch to learn the two signs that would indicate to the Global Equity team that conditions may be getting out of control, and could be more concerning.
Watch this video for Niziolek on the Calamos Evolving World Growth Fund (CNWIX)’s underweight in China, and where the team specifically believes the country continues to offer opportunities. He comments on why he considers China an ideal market to use convertible securities, to help dampen the downside while pursuing the potential for equity upside. He also touches on the fund’s positioning in India.
