Chinese stocks are becoming more attractive after initial share sales and derivative trading pushed the benchmark index to a bear market, investor Mark Mobius said.

Buying opportunities are "getting more and more now with the market going down", Mobius, who oversees about 34 billion U.S. dollars in emerging-market assets as executive chairman of Templeton Asset Management Ltd, said. While initial public offerings "draw money out of the market and depress prices, it doesn't mean that the company or economy is not fundamentally sound".

Chinese companies raised 23.5 billion U.S. dollars this year through Thursday, about 4 billion U.S. dollars less than the total for last year.
