Robert was born in Taiwan, speaks Mandarin fluently and reads and writes Chinese. But what really sets him apart from other investing experts is his rich history of investment success and his understanding of what’s happening across Asia today. While employed with Goldman Sachs, Robert learned a great deal about international markets, equities, interest rates, currencies and commodities markets. Since then Robert has started his own money management firm, Absolute Return Capital Advisors.

In order to stay on top of investment opportunities across Asia, Robert visits China regularly, as well as employs a boots-on-the-ground team of analysts in China to provide him with up-to-the-minute details on what is happening.

Robert’s advice is that now, more than ever, investors looking to build their wealth must look outside of the U.S. for real and sustainable growth. To attain superior absolute return in the new century, buy-and-hold U.S. stocks are just not going to deliver the profits that he thinks every investor should expect. And in looking to make the biggest returns, Robert’s found that the single best place to find great returns is China, where the economy continues to grow almost 10% a year.

Top 4 IPOs Up 186%

I recently heard someone compare investing in China to "the Wild West." This is actually a very accurate description. China is the new frontier of investing, and it's a dangerous place for people who don't know the financial landscape. But for those of us who know the financial terrain, the culture, and have spent years investing in the region, China is a gold rush for investors. A major driving force behind the Wild West analogy is the booming IPO market. I get asked about these types of investments all the time. There have been quite a few of them over the last two years, and there's likely to be many more to come. One of the questions that I get most often from investors is "How can we tell if a newly offered China stock is worth buying?" Evaluating an IPO is probably more of an art than an exact science. Because I've been doing it for so long, I've developed a rigorous process of evaluating these new listings. It means big profits—fast—for China Strategy subscribers. Interested in learning more about these winning IPOs delivering large and rapid gains?
