Overview

Investment Strategy:

KCAI tracks the Quant Insight (Qi) China Alpha Index, which seeks to outperform the CSI 300 Index by applying a systematic machine learning approach. KCAI’s index was developed by its sub-advisor Qi to generate excess returns in China A-Shares through an alpha optimization filtering process combined with proprietary AI technology.

KCAI Features:

  • Long Only: stock selection from the CSI 300 Index universe.
  • Diversified: No individual stock can make up more than 5% of the ETF.
  • Dynamic: Rebalanced monthly using proprietary AI investment decision making technology.

China A-Shares Highlights:

  • China A-Shares are vastly underrepresented in global indexes. While the United States has a weight of 64.70% in the MSCI All Country World Index, China only has a weight of 2.57%.1
  • China A shares have exhibited an unusually low correlation to global markets of less than 0.4 over the past ten years,2 demonstrating the potential diversification* benefits of adding an allocation to China A shares to a global portfolio.
  • The inefficiency of the China A-Shares market makes it a potentially important source of alpha.

1.) Data from MSCI as of 12/31/2023.
2.) Data from MSCI and Bloomberg as of 6/30/2024. Correlation is based on weekly observations of the MSCI China A Index and the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI).
