The Invesco Golden Dragon China ETF (PGJ) is the top-performing equity ETF over the past week, propelled by the Chinese stocks’ rally.
The Chinese stocks rally this week came as Beijing pledged to increase initiatives to bolster China’s economy. Stocks surged on Tuesday, as global hedge funds bought Chinese stocks at the fastest pace since October 2022, Reuters reported.
“Efforts by the Chinese government to further boost its strong local economy, relative to much of the world, has supported investor sentiment,” Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi, said. “While broader emerging market ETFs have exposure to China some advisors may want to augment it with dedicated country ETFs.”
According to LOGICLY, the top 13 best-performing equity ETFs over one week are all funds that offer exposure to Chinese stocks – with one exception, an iShares ETF providing exposure to Brazil.
