The point of bringing up CN’s heavy allocation to U.S.-listed stocks is that trait makes the ETF a potential, emphasis on “potential,” destination for the widely anticipated Alibaba initial public offering. It should also be emphasized that it has not been confirmed that CN could include Alibaba, but it is not out of the realm of possibility, either.
Remember, Alibaba’s decision to proceed with a U.S. listing limits the number of China-specific ETFs that can make room for the stock due to various indexing constraints for those funds. [Alibaba’s Limited ETF Options]
CN, which charges 0.71% per year, has gained 4.7% since its April 30 debut, better than quadruple the performance of ASHR over the same time.
