Our read on ASHR

ETF.net Research

In short

AThe mainland, not the offshore proxy. ASHR tracks the CSI 300, an index of the largest and most liquid stocks listed inside China's domestic A-share market, and it has been doing that job since 2013.

Stated mandate

The fund tracks an index representing the largest and most liquid stocks in China's A-share market.

Why people hold it

  • Roughly 300 mainland-listed companies picked for size and liquidity, so one ticker covers the heart of China's domestic market rather than its offshore listings.
  • Hugs its index closely and trades actively, which is why it rates as one of the stronger implementations among the China funds we cover.
  • The 0.65% expense ratio comes in under the 0.70% median for China single-country ETFs, unusual for a fund reaching a market most rivals do not touch directly.
  • Running since 2013 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund, so the A-share access plumbing has years of live use behind it.

Worth knowing

  • Broad China exposure can be had for less: FLCH charges 0.19% and JCHI 0.15%, both well below ASHR's 0.65%.
  • One country, one market. There is no other geography in the basket to cushion a move in Chinese equities or a shift in Beijing's policy.
  • Distributions land once or twice a year, so this is a growth-style holding rather than a steady income stream.
