Our read on ASHS

ETF.net Research

BA pure play on the small end of mainland China: roughly 500 of the smallest, most liquid A-shares, indexed and left alone. Running since 2014 at 0.65% a year.

Stated mandate

The Fund passively seeks to approximate an index tracking small-cap companies in China's A-Share market, specifically the 500 smallest and most liquid stocks.

Why people hold it

  1. 01Specific mandate: roughly 500 of the smallest, most liquid stocks in China's onshore A-share market, tracked by index rather than stock-picked.
  2. 020.65% a year sits a shade under the middle of the China ETF pack, though broad-China alternatives run cheaper (FLCH at 0.19%, JCHI at 0.15%).
  3. 03Live since 2014 and it stays on its stated small-cap A-share index instead of drifting. Lands in the upper half of its China peer group.
  4. 04Spreading across about 500 names keeps any single mainland company from steering the whole portfolio.

Worth knowing

  1. 01Small fund, thin trading. Spreads can widen, so limit orders and patience matter more here than with the household-name China trackers.
  2. 02One country, one size band, no hedging. That concentration shows up as one of the rougher rides in its China cohort.
  3. 03Not built as an income line: distributions have not been a regular feature of this fund.
