WisdomTree launches China equity ETF in strategic partnership

Provides access to A- and H-shares

WisdomTree has partnered with Chinese asset manager ICBC Credit Suisse Asset Management (International) to launch an ETF tracking the S&P China 500 index.

Listed on the London Stock Exchange, the new ETF, ICBCCS WisdomTree S&P China 500 UCITS, offers broad coverage of Chinese equities, including onshore and offshore stocks, and other international listings. The index consists of the 500 largest, most liquid Chinese companies, chosen based on a number of criteria, including liquidity of at least $1m over the past six months and a market cap over $300m. Where next for China A-shares? It targets a broader sector weight than other Chinese equity indices, with a higher proportion in tech stocks and less weighting to financials. Nizam H...
