Picking the right exchange traded fund (ETF) for China can be difficult but not impossible. So which one is right for you? That’s a matter of what you’re looking for.
In the end, it all comes down to what kind of diversity you’d like, how the allocation is spread out among individual companies, what sectors you’d like exposure to, expenses and performance. Do you want indirect exposure? Or do you want some bigger exposure to China’s financials? It’s up to you – just look under the hood.
These are the four major ETFs tracking China that are available:
PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China (PGJ): Currently has total assets of $204.5 million, 102 holdings, and and expense ratio of .60%. This fund seeks to replicate, before fees and expenses, the Halter USX China Index, which is made up of U.S.-listed securities of companies that derive a majority of their revenue from the People’s Republic of China.
