Kiril NikolaevOct 23, 2015

Two currency-hedged ETFs that track China A-Shares and one smart beta ETF were launched this week on Tuesday, October 20. Below is a look at what these ETFs mean for you, and how you can more easily get exposure to China into your portfolio.

The other exciting ETF launch last week is the Loncar Cancer Immunotherapy ETF (CNCR), which offers exposure to the pharmaceutical industry with a focus on cancer research firms.

Deutsche X-trackers CSI 300 China A-Shares Hedged Equity ETF (ASHX B+)

This ETF tracks the CSI 300 USD Hedged Index. The index is comprised of the largest 300 A-shares in the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges. The index and the ETF are currency-hedged, which means investors worried about the Chinese Yuan can sleep better at night when they hold this ETF.

ASHX is similar to Deutsche X-trackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF (ASHR), except it’s currency-hedged. The holdings include the ASHR ETF, as well as short CNH currency contracts. ASHX has an expense ratio of 0.85%.

Top 5 sectors:

  • Financials 37.6%
  • Industrials 18.6%
  • Consumer discretionary 10.8%
  • Materials 7.0%
  • Information technology 6.3%
