Quality Business Intelligence Gives Investors Security in China’s Famously ‘Opaque’ Market, Says Kcomber

·        China’s reputation as a high-risk, ‘opaque’ market is primarily due to a lack of quality business intelligence

·        Kcomber has created KcomData service to address this deficiency and provide investors with accurate, reliable intelligence on target companies and markets

[Guangzhou, 18^th August 2014] China is the economic miracle of our age. The country has experienced three decades of unbroken, often double-digit growth, has emerged unscathed from two major economic crises, and is now widely expected to overtake the United States as the world’s largest economy within the next ten years. Yet, China is still widely regarded as a high-risk market. How can this be?

According to Kcomber, China’s leading business information firm, the biggest problem investors encounter in the Middle Kingdom remains the lack of reliable data. Though the Chinese government has made efforts to modernise its methods of collecting economic data, the system is still too decentralised and easy to manipulate. Misreporting of income and output by Chinese enterprises, sadly, is still common.

Kcomber has therefore created KcomData, a comprehensive business information service that relies solely on ‘primary data’ – data that has been verified first-hand by Kcomber’s own team of experts. This uniquely accurate service gives investors access to detailed reports on over 350,000 China-based companies, and Kcomber is also able to carry out full due diligence reports on any company on request.

Sunny Lei, Manager of CBD at Kcomber, commented: “Uncertainty is a cancer on investment, and this is why many investors still hesitate to invest in China. They know that there are unique opportunities to make large profits here, but when the push comes to shove they may choose supposedly ‘safer’ markets with less potential because they perceive China as ‘opaque’.

“We created KcomData precisely to give investors the confidence that comes from knowing you have reliable, accurate data in front of you. Now, our clients can take advantage of the huge opportunities available here safe in the knowledge that their decisions are based on quality intelligence. By taking away the uncertainty, we have taken away much of the perceived risk, too.”

Savvy Investors Have No Need to Fear China’s Commodities Markets, Says Kcomber

·         Markets are entering a period of increasing uncertainty, but those with genuine understanding of the situation on the ground in China will reap huge rewards

·         Kcomber’s Consolidated Commodity Data platform offers most comprehensive, accurate information on Chinese commodities available globally

[Guangzhou, 14^th August 2014] The ’10 year boom’ in China’s commodities markets is over, according to many Western analysts. Among these commentators, a prevailing narrative has emerged, namely that rising but uneven demand, massive oversupply, and fallout from the on-going investigations into fraudulent use of commodities to finance transactions in Qingdao will kill off China’s attractiveness to investors.

While it is true that China’s commodities markets are entering a period of increasing uncertainty, China’s leading business information firm, Kcomber, has reminded investors that this narrative is overly simplistic and based mainly on perception, and that there are still huge opportunities available for investors with knowledge of the real situation on the ground in China.

David, the manager of Agricultural Department at Kcomber, commented: “To be frank, these recent pessimistic reports about the future of the commodities markets in China are as overblown as the optimistic reports being released just a few years ago.  

“Analysts in the West are continually expressing surprise at a new set of positive economic figures released here, and sadly that is because they simply have not taken the time to understand China’s economic reality, and instead base their predictions on abstract concepts developed to analyse developed Western economies.

“In many ways the commodities markets here have become more high-risk than they were a few years ago, but China’s growth rate remains robust and there are huge opportunities for savvy investors. By far the greatest risk comes from investing in China, or anywhere, without a thorough understanding of the market you are investing in.”

To help investors and companies looking to deepen their knowledge of the Chinese commodities markets, Kcomber has developed Consolidated Commodity Data, a customisable ‘one-stop’ platform that not only provides clients with the most accurate, up-to-the-minute data available on their industries of choice, but also integrates qualitative research which will give insight, identify trends, and predict future market developments. Each platform is developed individually by Kcomber’s consultants to suit their clients’ needs.
