Considering Options on a High-Flying A-Shares ETF

Second, there is volatility, one of the pillars of options trading and A-shares have plenty of that. Consider the three-year standard deviation on CNXT’s large-cap stablemate, the Market Vectors ChinaAMC A-Share ETF (NYSEArca: PEK), is 26.6%, according to Market Vectors data. That is more than double the three-year standard deviation on the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.

CNXT is just 11 months old and already has almost $91 million in assets under management, nearly $43 million of which have flowed into the ETF this year.
