Our read on CGRO
DMost China funds hand you the index and shrug at what's inside. CGRO is actively run around a "core values" screen: chase Greater China growth while steering clear of US sanctions and national-security tripwires.
The fund primarily invests in equity securities of growth companies with exposure to the economies of Greater China.
Why people hold it
- A live manager choosing the Greater China growth names it wants, screened against US sanctions and national-security concerns, rather than buying the index wholesale.sec.gov
- Greater China read broadly: mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, plus the ability to own US-listed companies that lean on China for their own growth.sec.govnasdaq.com
- The portfolio stays close to the Greater China growth mandate on the tin, one of the cleaner mandate-to-holdings matches among its China peers.
Worth knowing
- At 0.75% it runs above the 0.70% median for China funds, and well above index rivals like FLCH (0.19%) and JCHI (0.15%). Active screening is not free.
- A small, thinly traded fund. Spreads can be wider than the category's giants, and the bid-ask matters more than the headline fee on small trades.
- Non-diversified and single-country: a concentrated book in one market, so China policy and sanctions news land hard.sec.gov
