Investing in China: Good Bet or Bad?

In our newest Today’s Adviser Takeaways video, Senior Research Analyst Liz Laprade delves into President Xi Jinping’s prioritization of “common prosperity” in China. She explains the destabilizing effect it has had on the Chinese economy and analyzed the performance of the iShares MSCI China ETFA type of security which allows investors to indirectly invest in an underlying basket of financial instruments (these may include stocks, bonds, commodities or other types of instruments). Shares in an ETF are publicly traded on an exchange, and the price of an ETF’s shares will fluctuate throughout the trading day (traditional mutual funds trade only once a day). For example, one popular ETF tracks the companies in the S&P 500, so buying a share of the ETF gets an investor exposure to all 500 companies in the index..
