HSBC MSCI China A

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. By tracking an index that represents the performance of Chinese A‑shares, the fund allows investors to access businesses that are primarily available to domestic Chinese investors.
