Our read on KBA

ETF.net Research

BMost US-listed China ETFs buy the offshore version of China. KBA goes onshore, tracking 50 large caps that trade in Shanghai and Shenzhen through Stock Connect, an approach it has run since 2014.

Stated mandate

The fund tracks the MSCI China A 50 Connect Index, which represents 50 large-cap Chinese A-shares listed in Shanghai and Shenzhen and accessible through Stock Connect.

Why people hold it

  1. 01Onshore by design: it tracks the MSCI China A 50 Connect Index, 50 large-cap A-shares listed in Shanghai and Shenzhen and reachable through Stock Connect.kraneshares.com
  2. 02The original in its lane. Launched in 2014, it was the first MSCI-linked China A-share ETF in the US and the first here to track the A 50 Connect index.kraneshares.com
  3. 03A tight basket, not a sweep: 50 large, liquid mainland names versus the nearly 500 in the full MSCI China A index.kraneshares.com
  4. 04Run by a China-focused ETF specialist alongside Bosera, a large mainland asset manager, and it sits in the upper half of US-listed single-country China funds on our review.kraneshares.com

Worth knowing

  1. 01Onshore access carries a price: 0.79% a year, above broad China peers such as MCHI (0.59%) and FLCH (0.19%).
  2. 02Fifty stocks in one country. Sector shifts and single-name moves land harder here than in a broad emerging-markets fund.
  3. 03The exposure travels through Stock Connect, the Hong Kong link into mainland exchanges, so the plumbing depends on that channel staying open.kraneshares.com
