"It is important for investors interested in the China market to understand the short and long-term goals as well as ownership structure of public companies so that they can make a fair evaluation of potential return and risk of investments," said Drew Bernstein.  "However, when conducting due diligence, international investors have faced challenges and limitations to obtaining information on Chinese companies listed in the U.S.  We are starting to see the environment change as well-managed companies are voluntarily disclosing more information and the government of China is also passing reforms to make the country a more attractive destination for investors.  I look forward to a lively discussion with a distinguished group of panelists about investing in Chinese microcap stocks."
