HSBC MSCI China A

Details

ETF description

This ETF invests in companies listed on mainland China, offering exposure to the Chinese domestic market. These companies operate across various sectors, including technology, financial services, consumer goods, and industrials, providing a diversified approach to investing in China’s growing economy.
