More Chinese electric car ETFs
ChinaAMC, one of China’s biggest ETF providers, is jumping on the china electric cars bandwagon and listing a new ETF that tracks the Teslas of China.
The ChinaAMC CSI New Energy Automobile ETF (515030) will track the CSI New Energy Vehicle Index, which is composed of A-Shares that are involved in making electric cars, vans and buses. This mostly includes car manufacturers but also companies that help build self-driving software and provide the capital inputs.
It is the third index fund in China to track this exact index, and the returns show why. The index has thrown off a massive 45% return the past year. However it did the same in 2015, and then proceeded to bomb -70%.
The fund charges 0.50%.
