China Update: A-Share Inclusion & The Economy

  • China Macro Economy: After returning 38.7% in 20171, the Chinese equity markets, as represented by the MSCI China All Shares Index, are down -26.6% YTD (10/31/18).2 Kevin Liu, a Senior Strategist at China International Capital Corporation (CICC) will provide an economic update and outlook on China.
  • MSCI A-Share Inclusion: On September 3, 2018, MSCI completed the first inclusion phase of China A-Shares within the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The full proposed inclusion weight is projected to reach 14.7% of the Emerging Markets Index.3We believe multiple inclusions could provide a sustained catalyst for the outperformance of the Mainland market.
  • China Portfolio Implementation: China’s size and representation in a portfolio can be significant, and there are many ways to assemble a China portfolio depending on goals and preferences. Some clients seek exposure with a single strategy that encompasses the full market or segment, while others combine high conviction sectors and themes. KraneShares has designed a suite of China-focused ETFs to help investors achieve their specific China-investment goals.

Risk Disclosures:

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There can be no assurance that a Fund will achieve its stated objectives. Indices are unmanaged and do not include the effect of fees. One cannot invest directly in an index.

This information should not be relied upon as research, investment advice, or a recommendation regarding any products, strategies, or any security in particular. This material is strictly for illustrative, educational, or informational purposes and is subject to change. Certain content represents an assessment of the market environment at a specific time and is not intended to be a forecast of future events or a guarantee of future results; material is as of the dates noted and is subject to change without notice.

KBA may invest in derivatives, which are often more volatile than other investments and may magnify KBA’s gains or losses. A derivative (i.e., futures/forward contracts, swaps, and options) is a contract that derives its value from the performance of an underlying asset. The primary risk of derivatives is that changes in the asset’s market value and the derivative may not be proportionate, and some derivatives can have the potential for unlimited losses. Derivatives are also subject to liquidity and counterparty risk. KBA is subject to liquidity risk, meaning that certain investments may become difficult to purchase or sell at a reasonable time and price. If a transaction for these securities is large, it may not be possible to initiate, which may cause KBA to suffer losses. Counterparty risk is the risk of loss in the event that the counterparty to an agreement fails to make required payments or otherwise comply with the terms of the derivative.

The ability of KBA to achieve its respective investment objectives is dependent, in part, on the continuous availability of A Shares and the ability to obtain, if necessary, additional A Shares quota. If KBA is unable to obtain sufficient exposure to limited availability of A Share quota, KBA could seek exposure to the component securities of the Underlying Index by investment in other types of securities. KBA is subject to political, social or economic instability within China which may cause decline in value. Emerging markets involve heightened risk related to the same factors as well as increase volatility and lower trading volume. Fluctuations in currency of foreign countries may have an adverse effect to domestic currency values. KBA may invest in Initial Public Offerings (IPOs). Securities issued in IPOs have no trading history, and information about the companies may be available for very limited periods. In addition, the prices of securities sold in IPOs may be highly volatile. In addition, as KBA increases in size, the impact of IPOs on KBA’s performance will generally decrease.

Narrowly focused investments typically exhibit higher volatility. KBA’s assets are expected to be concentrated in a sector, industry, market, or group of concentrations to the extent that the Underlying Index has such concentrations. The securities or futures in that concentration could react similarly to market developments. Thus, KBA is subject to loss due to adverse occurrences that affect that concentration. In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, investments in smaller companies typically exhibit higher volatility.

ETF shares are bought and sold on an exchange at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. However, shares may be redeemed at NAV directly by certain authorized broker-dealers (Authorized Participants) in very large creation/redemption units. The returns shown do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Beginning 12/23/2020, market price returns are based on the official closing price of an ETF share or, if the official closing price isn't available, the midpoint between the national best bid and national best offer ("NBBO") as of the time the ETF calculates the current NAV per share. Prior to that date, market price returns were based on the midpoint between the Bid and Ask price. NAVs are calculated using prices as of 4:00 PM Eastern Time.

The KraneShares ETFs and KFA Funds ETFs are distributed by SEI Investments Distribution Company (SIDCO), 1 Freedom Valley Drive, Oaks, PA 19456, which is not affiliated with Krane Funds Advisors, LLC, the Investment Adviser for the Funds, or any sub-advisers for the Funds.
