Our read on GXC

ETF.net Research

In short

AThe whole China market in one ticker: roughly 1,400 stocks from megacaps down to small caps, tracked since 2007. Most China funds buy the famous names. GXC buys the phone book.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks to provide returns that generally correspond to the total return performance of the S&P China BMI Index.

Why people hold it

  • Holds roughly 1,400 names across large, mid and small caps, so the portfolio reaches well past the handful of megacap internet stocks that dominate narrower China funds.ssga.com
  • Running since 2007, one of the longest-tenured US-listed China index funds, with a track record covering several full boom and bust cycles in the market.ssga.com
  • Tracks the S&P China BMI Index tightly and sits in the upper tier of its single-country China peer group on our review.

Worth knowing

  • The 0.59% expense ratio sits at the pricier end of the shelf. Plain index rivals such as FLCH and CXSE charge less for China exposure.
  • Volume is light next to the category's biggest China funds, so bid-ask spreads can widen. Limit orders are the usual defense.
  • One country, one policy regime: Chinese regulation, politics and currency moves drive the whole ride, and payouts land only once or twice a year.
