China’s stock exchanges also offer exchange-traded funds (ETFs). ETFs are funds that track different stock exchange indices or assets, such as a commodity, and are traded on stock exchanges in the same way shares are. ETFs provide allow investors to speculate on a whole market or sector, rather than a specific company, and also enable foreign investors to invest in A-shares that are otherwise off-limits by trading composite index funds.
For example, an investor can invest in an ETF that tracks the SSE Composite (SHCOMP), the SSE’s main index, which tracks all A-shares and B-shares listed on the market.
Both the SSE and SZSE offer ETFs for a variety of indexes and assets, such as the iShares Core CSI 300 ETF, which tracks the top 300 companies on the SSE and the SZSE), and the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF, which tracks some of the top internet companies listed on the SSE and SZSE.
