“GXC also outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets index during 2014, rising 8.0%, but it lagged FXI. However, its three-year standard deviation of 15.2 is lower than FXI’s 17.9,” according to S&P Capital IQ.
To its credit, GXC has outperformed FXI by 630 basis points over the past five years.
“GXC has a lower 0.59% expense ratio, but trades less regularly. Average daily volume of nearly 200,000 has resulted in a wider $0.05 bid/ask spread. Both ETFs earn a favorable ranking input for holding stocks with above-average S&P Capital IQ Quality Rankings,” said S&P Capital IQ. [Don’t Ignore This China ETF]
