China mutual funds and ETFs invest in a wide range of asset classes in the emerging-market nation of China and its special administrative regions, including Macau and Hong Kong. Depending on their mandate, these funds may invest in equities, fixed income, commodities, and alternatives. However, equities are the most common asset class. These funds cover a wide range of sectors and industries, as well as market capitalization. Lastly, these funds can be passive (aka index funds) or actively managed. The Chinese economy is characterized by a heavy reliance on fixed asset investment and exports, although the consumer segment is becoming more important over time. Key industries within the economy include information technology and financial services. Being exposed to an emerging market economy, these funds tend to be riskier than investments in developed market economies. As such, conservative-minded investors will usually avoid funds. However, more aggressive investors may purchase them, as they have the potential to generate higher return due to higher risk, including those arising due to geopolitical concerns, economic issues and currency valutation, among others.
