The China Small Cap ETF Is Better Positioned Than Many Of Its Peers
The Claymore/AlphaShares China Small Cap (HAO), “Which advanced 96.6 per cent in 2009, is still well positioned for 2010. In an already-explosive economy like China’s, the small-cap firms that underlie HAO have a distinct advantage over their state-owned peers. While industrials and materials are still the two most heavily weighted sectors in HAO, this ETF offers significant exposure to the consumer staples and health care sectors. As China’s economy matures, these areas of the marketplace will hold potential for well-positioned investors,” Don Dion Reports From The Street.
“HAO is better positioned than many of its peers to take advantage of growth in the health care and information technology sectors that are represented by large state-owned companies in capitalization-weighted peers like the SPDR S&P China ETF (GXC) and the iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 ETF (FXI),” Dion Reports.
“Several innovative HAO holdings, like batter maker BYD Co. and Dongfeng Motor Group, experienced tremendous growth in 2009, helping to boost the fund’s returns. As the Chinese government continues to promote private consumption and credit conditions improve for small businesses, HAO continues to have tremendous potential,” Dion Reports.
