Baillie Gifford China Growth Trust PLC, down 5.9% at 373.50p, 12-month range 363.50p-658.00p. JPMorgan China Growth & Income PLC, down 7.1% at 487.81p, 12-month range 481.80p-875.98p. JPMorgan Asia Growth & Income PLC, down 6.4% at 408.66p, 12-month range 407.50p-550.00p. Shares in the China-focused funds were lower amid fears of contagion from the potential collapse of battered Chinese real estate firm Evergrande. The firm, one of the country's biggest developers, is on the brink of collapse as it wallows in debts of more than USD300 billion. With the property sector accounting for more than a quarter of Chinese GDP, there are concerns of a spillover into the domestic and global economy. "From the perspective of world markets is the concerning situation with huge Chinese property developer Evergrande which appears to be teetering on the precipice with concerns about contagion from the situation infecting the wider economy in China," said AJ Bell's Russ Mould.
