Pictet had moved out of Chinese equities in December 2020 because of rising uncertainties relating to slowing economic growth as well as a regulatory crackdown on the country's technology sector, Tavazzi said.

Chinese stocks have a weighting of around one third in the MSCI Emerging Market benchmark.
