U.S. asset manager Fidelity International is highlighting China's looser monetary policy and the government's recent 1 trillion yuan ($137.10 billion) borrowing-and-spending sovereign bond plan as a tailwind for the country's stock markets.
London-based £3 billion fund manager Somerset Capital Management likewise finds China exciting.
The stock market has yet to recover, but has stabilised.
Morgan Stanley estimates long-only foreign investors now have their deepest underweight positions in China and Hong Kong equities in years.
Chinese stocks could see a short-term sentiment pick-up given foreign funds have such light positions in the market, said Redmond Wong, Greater China market strategist at Saxo Markets.
