There is an exchange traded fund(ETF) in the making that will seek to mimic the performance of an index comprised of China-based small-cap firms. Claymore Advisors is working on the Claymore/Alphashares China Small-Cap ETF, which correspond to the performance of the Alphashares China Small-Cap Index, reports Armie Margaret Lee for The Mutual fund Wire.com. During times of prosperity, small-cap companies tend to outperform larger companies as they are more nimble and able to react to profit opportunities. It will be interesting to see if this holds true with this ETF.
