Ping An Investment Arm Questions US Allocation

HONG KONG, March 23 (Reuters) - Insurer Ping An's, international arm is questioning further ​U.S. investments, its CEO said, ‌citing the country's unreliability.

"The key question for me to consider is ... how much ​and whether you continue ​to deploy capital into the U.S. ⁠because ... the U.S. is becoming ​less reliable," said Hoi Tung, CEO ​and Chairman of Ping An Overseas Holdings at a Milken Institute symposium in Hong ​Kong, when asked about the ​U.S. and Israeli war on Iran.

"Let's think about ‌whether ⁠we should trim down a bit."

Globally some investors have started looking outside the world's biggest capital markets ​as U.S. ​policy ⁠under President Donald Trump turns unpredictable.

U.S. investors, too, have been pulling ​money out of their ​own ⁠stock market at the fastest pace in at least 16 years as ⁠Big ​Tech returns fade ​and better-performing overseas markets look more attractive.
