Overview

Why KWEB?

  • China Tech Innovators: Exposure to Chinese internet companies that provide similar services as Google, Meta, X, Amazon, etc.
  • Middle Class Growth: Holds companies aligned with domestic consumption trends among China's growing middle class.
  • Policy Support: China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026–2030) emphasizes "technological self-reliance" which we believe could create long-term growth opportunities for Chinese technology companies1.
  • China AI Exposure: KWEB holds prominent companies in China’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) development, including Alibaba, Baidu, and more.

Capturing China's AI Innovation:

  • KWEB gives investors exposure to many of the companies leading China's AI race. Alibaba, Baidu, and Tencent each operate a top-ten global AI application by monthly active users as of January 20262. Alibaba’s Qwen large language model (LLM) surpassed 700 million downloads, becoming the world's most widely used open-source AI system3. Baidu’s ERNIE Bot, Tencent's Hunyuan 3D Global, and Kuaishou’s K-ling AI also continue to drive cloud adoption. KWEB companies increased their total revenue attributable to cloud computing and AI services by 12% year-over-year (YoY)4.
  • China's AI industry is positioned for continued growth. The country aims to expand its core AI industry to over $140 billion by 2030 and boost related sectors to $1.4 trillion across the same period.5 The extent of China's AI development drew global attention in 2025 with the release of DeepSeek’s R-1 model, which had comparable performance to the top US models with lower training costs.
  • Decades of policy support and technology investment in China have created a strong foundation for further AI advancement. China operates the world's largest electrical grid6, accounts for 26% of the world's computing power and is home to 47% of the world's top AI researchers5.

China E-Commerce & Internet Growth Potential:

  • China has a large middle class population of over 500 million people7 which represents a sizeable market opportunity for the companies held in KWEB. China's internet population reached 1.11 billion people in 2024. With a penetration rate of only 78% (compared to 93% in the US), there is significant potential for user growth8.
  • Online shopping accounted for 35% of retail purchases and retail web sales totaled $2.2 trillion in China in 2024 (compared to $1.1 trillion in the United States)7.
  • Data generated from E-Commerce and internet services provides the companies held in KWEB with the proprietary, high-volume datasets necessary to train increasingly complex AI models, which further bolsters Chinese AI development. China's annual data volume grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26% from 2022 to 2026, ranking first in the world5.
