Anthony Fasso, AMP Capital chief executive international and head of global clients, said: "There are JVs you can enter with a higher percentage but most often these are with a smaller financial sponsor. Given the sheer size of this, it’s important to note that China Life is the single largest domestic institutional investor in China."
