Mark Mobius, executive chairman at Templeton Emerging Markets Group, speaks during the SALT conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, US on May 17, 2017.SHANGHAI — Billionaire investor Mark Mobius told Fox Business he cannot take his money out of China due to the country's capital controls, cautioning investors to be "very, very careful" about investing in an economy under a tight government grip.
"I have an account with HSBC in Shanghai. I can't take my money out. The government is restricting flow of money out of the country," Mobius, founder of Mobius Capital Partners, told Fox Business in an interview published on March 2. "I can't get an explanation of why they're doing this... They're putting all kinds of barriers. They don't say: No, you can't get your money out. But they say, give us all the records from 20 years of how you made this money... This is crazy."Mobius led emerging market investments at Franklin Templeton Investments, where he was for over three decades, and is known for his bullish view on China.
"Now you have a government which is taking golden shares in companies all over China. That means they're going to try to control all of these companies... So, I don't think it's a very good picture, when you see the government becoming more and more control-oriented in the economy." The self-declared "Indiana Jones of Emerging Market investing" told Fox Business he's increasing exposure to alternative markets such as India and Brazil.
