This summary was created by AI, based on 2 opinions in the last 12 months.

The iShares China Index ETF (XCH-T) provides significant exposure to some of China's largest corporations, such as Alibaba and Tencent, making it a compelling option for investors looking to tap into the world's second-largest economy. With a diversified portfolio and deep valuation discounts, this ETF presents an attractive opportunity, particularly if trade relations between the U.S. and China improve. The unique monetary policies and business cycles of China make this investment a strong diversifier for a Canadian portfolio. While the management expense ratio (MER) is around 0.85%, which reflects the challenges of accessing Chinese securities, the overall outlook remains positive for those wanting to benefit from China's growth potential.

TOP PICK

Includes names like BABA and Tencent. Very large Chinese corporations. If the Trump-Xi goes even a little bit OK, this area will do well. Remember that China's the second-largest economy in the world. A nice complement to a portfolio, trading at deep valuation discounts. Robust, diversified exposure to the Chinese economy.

BUY
China growth.

The idea of China is a good one and a diversifying one. Their business cycle and monetary policy are so very different from what we have in Canada. Focus is on a single country. MER is around 0.85%, as it's harder to gain access to those securities. Pretty good exposure.

BUY

Holds large and mid-cap Chinese companies with broad exposure.

TOP PICK

Chinese stocks have sucked for 3-4 years due to political interference from Beijing. But XCH bottomed a month ago and is rebounding. If this breaks below $13.74, then that means there are more problems in China. Start with a small position. If this continues to rise, he will add to his holding, currently 3% of his portfolio. Risk-reward is really good.

DON'T BUY
Outlook on China Yes, China is reopening, but China is a strategic threat to North America and there's no transparency in their companies. China has the law of rules, not the law of rule (corruption). He owns nothing in China.
COMMENT
China will be the biggest economy in the world one day. You do want exposure to this big market. Weakness is an opportunity to add to this.
COMMENT

ZCH is more focused on the tech names with BABA counting for 22% of the holdings. There is virtually no financials. XCH has about 20% banks. Must understand what you own. Internet names have been pounded recently. KWEB could be a good way to play it.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 12/19, Up 13%) China lowered their tariff on US goods. We have a trend here but will have resistance in the high $20s. If we get through that then away we go. He would add to this name. It would, however, come off with any correction in the next couple of weeks.
TOP PICK
It covers the 50 largest Chinese stocks. We are coming back to test. Really good risk/reward.
WAIT

Doesn’t think 2014 is going to be China’s year. Maybe 2015 will be the year. There’s certainly some recovery in emerging markets banks.

COMMENT
China double bull ETF? China Index ETF is the only thing he has. Sector and Country plays are a little more expensive so it costs about 85 basis points, which is more than he likes to pay for an ETF. To get a double bull, he suspects he would have to go through the US.
BUY
China, Good for Asian exposure.
BUY
China Index ETF (XCH-T) versus CNX Nifty India ETF (XID-T)? Likes both a China specific and India specific product.
COMMENT
China Index ETF. Gives you a play on China. There has been such a pullback in China this would be a good time to look at this. Would consider having 5% of China in your portfolio.
DON'T BUY
(Market Call Minute.) China Index ETF. This is good but he would prefer emerging-market ETF (EEM-N) or Brazil over China right now.
