China’s economic growth promises opportunity — primarily in companies located elsewhere, Rutledge Capital Chairman John Rutledge said Tuesday on CNBC.
“I think that the rumor that China is dead is greatly exaggerated, and at these prices, I like it,” he said on “Fast Money.”
Rutledge acknowledges that the Chinese economy is slowing “a little.”

“It’s not a crisis,” he said, adding that its GDP is likely to grow at a rate of 7½ to 8 percent.
But investing in the Shanghai Composite Index isn’t necessarily the best way to play it, Rutledge argued.

“Buy the stocks of companies that sell things to china but are located elsewhere,” he said.
Rutledge owned Rio Tinto, Yum Brands, Caterpillar, BHP Billiton and Freeport-McMoRan.
