Selon le bureau d'études Aurel reprenant les propos du journal chinois "South China Morning Post", le fonds souverain "China Investment Corp" s'intéresserait aux groupes de luxe afin d'y prendre une participation pouvant aller jusqu'à 10% du capital. Les groupes LVMH, PPR et Richemont sont notamment cités.
