BMO CHINA EQUITY INDEX ETF
ZCH-T
TOP PICK
Mar 24, 2025
International markets have done extremely well on a relative basis. The Chinese market had been quite depressed for quite some time, now finally started to break out. Very strong in last month or so. This ETF ranks highly in his scoring, looks amazing on the breakout. Capital is moving into Europe and China.
What interests him is that despite all the tariff talk, this ETF is doing incredibly well. Intriguing that Trump is issuing all these threats, yet this ETF is breaking out.
A lot of money is unclear on China. China wants to be the biggest economy of the world, as the reserve currency and wants to lead. However, they cannot do this without opening capital markets and letting it thrive. Accumulating every notch down. An opportunity to add every few pullbacks. However, there is limited visibility on the future.
China is the second largest economy in the world and will be first in the future. With the tilt towards equalization and communist philosophy. China has some growth challenges with bad demographics that is aging and shrinking. 1.4B people is still a huge number. Be mindful on trimming in rallies. 2-4% would be okay with up to 5% with the next few years. Focus on the China A shares, not the Hong Kong shares.
A fine way to play China in Canada. Exposure to the big-cap names. Thinks it is on sale. Wants to have this exposure. Should be no more than 5% of your portfolio. Likes it.
It'll take time to come back to where it was in 2021. There is a lot of supply that needs to get through. Should get back most of the recent decline in the last few months.
He bought it at the bottom. Per his normal strategy, he will sell at the top of its trading range. China was feared/disliked as an investment, which became a traded trade, and that's when he bought. Inevitably, sentiment reverses.
He's long-term on this ETF. There is defined support at $14, so if you buy at $14, you're okay. But be patient. If it breaks below that support, he will get it.
Everybody hated China because of real estate problems. Chinese government tends to step in and fix problems, and that's what they've been doing. He tried to buy off the floor, resistance around $17. Lots of faith that it'll get to at least that level, and maybe more.
(Note the short timeframe.) He's being patient, but exercising discipline. If it doesn't hold above where he wants, he'll be out. Chinese tech sector is way cheaper than the American side. Only a 2% position for him, waiting to see what happens.
