SG to offer UK retail investors exposure to China

French investment bank SG, part of Société Générale, will offer UK retail investors exposure to the performance of Chinese equities from tomorrow with the launch of a new warrant linked to the Hang Seng index.

At the same time it intends to launch warrants on Petrochina, China’s biggest oil and gas company, and Infosys Technology, India’s largest information technology company. It is also launching warrants on Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffet’s investment vehicle.

“The three Asian underlyings give investors the opportunity to gain exposure to some of the more exotic but historically best performing shares, indexes and investment funds,” said David Lake, SG’s director of UK warrants.

“There is a lot of buzz around Berkshire Hathaway,” he added.

Warrants are traded on the London Stock Exchange, while retail investors can purchase them through brokers.
