Overview

Investment Strategy:

KCAI tracks the 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 Quant Insight (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.
  • Low Concentration: No individual stock can make up more than 5% of the ETF.
  • Frequent Rebalancing: Rebalanced monthly using proprietary AI investment decision making technology.

Why AI for China A-Share Exposure:

  • 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.
  • Unique characteristics of the China A-shares market, such as high retail ownership and volatility, make it a potentially important source of alpha.
