Investors are pumping money into exchange traded funds focused on Chinese equities despite jitters over Chinese government interventions which have rattled a number of stocks and sectors this year.
President Xi Jinping’s “common prosperity” agenda has wiped more than $1tn from the market value of Chinese equities since February as a series of regulatory blows have targeted sectors from video games and technology to property and education.
Yet three China-focused ETFs, ChinaAMC MSCI China A 50 Connect, E Fund MSCI China A 50 Connect ETF and China Universal MSCI China A 50 Connect ETF, were among the top 15 globally for net inflows in November, according to ETFGI, a London-based consultancy, pulling in a combined $4.6bn.
