Chindia Alternative

Chindia Alternative Funds or ETFs invest the majority of their assets in... Chindia Alternative Funds or ETFs invest the majority of their assets in so-called alternative assets in China and India. Alternative assets are generally defined as any asset other than publicly traded stocks, bonds, mutual funds, money market funds, or cash. Common alternative assets include hedge funds, real estate, private equity, venture capital, precious metals and other commodities, infrastructure, cryptocurrencies, and collectibles (such as art). A Chindia Alternative Fund or ETF may be actively or passively managed, and may, depending on its mandate, invest in one or more alternative asset classes. Alternative assets have seen tremendous growth in the last few decades. They have received significant investor inflows due to the perception that they can offer better risk-adjusted returns than traditional assets. At times, alternative assets may outperform traditional assets, and they may also exhibit returns that don’t move in lockstep with publicly traded equities and bonds. This can reduce the overall volatility of a portfolio. India has a relatively small alternative investments market but it’s growing at a fast rate. From 2014 to 2023 the ‘alts’ market in India increased from US$20 billion to US$72 billion. Growth was mainly driven by real estate and private equity. Meanwhile in China, global funds have retrenched as of late, preferring to invest in other nations instead. However, Chindia Alternative Funds or ETFs may be appropriate depending on the alternative in question and an investor’s risk tolerance. It’s important to note that alternatives may not perform as well as they did in the past, and risk aversion in public markets can spread over into alternative assets.
