Shanghai, June 20th 2017– The Bank of East Asia (China) Limited ("BEA China") today announced a partnership with Tianhong Asset Management Co., Ltd, resulting in the launch of the ZEAL Voyage China Fund. The fund leapt ahead of its more than 180 competitors in 2017 to claim the title of "the best stock fund in the Greater China region" awarded by the international fund rating agency Morningstar. ZEAL Voyage China Fund’s excellent performance and the competence of its risk and investment team have allowed the fund to outpace its counterparts in the industry.

Previously, BEA China has collaborated with China International Fund Management Co., Ltd to offer two MR funds for sale which invest in the Asian bond market and stocks in the Asia-Pacific region. The funds have proved popular with investors, and have seen their sales outstrip all other foreign banks since the beginning of this year.

In order to further expand the range of its products, BEA China has become the first foreign bank to invest in ZEAL Voyage China Fund, which is focused chiefly on the Hong Kong stock market. The availability of ZEAL Voyage China Fund as an option will allow mainland customers to better diversify their portfolios and spread risk. BEA China further gives investors full and easy access to its services through its branch network, mobile banking, and online banking.

BEA China has always put the needs of its customers first. The bank has a clear strategy for wealth management: the “Onshore+Offshore” model. BEA China provides professional, personalised portfolio solutions for investors. Together, we preserve and grow wealth.
