Important Information
Investors should not base investment decisions on this website alone. Please refer to the Prospectus for details including product features and the risk factors. Investment involves risks. Past performance is not indicative of future performance. There is no guarantee of the repayment of the principal. Investors should note:
- Global X China Consumer Brand ETF’s (the “Fund’s”) investment in equity securities is subject to general market risks, whose value may fluctuate due to various factors, such as changes in investment sentiment, political and economic conditions and issuer-specific factors.
- The performance of companies in the consumer sector are correlated to the growth rate of the global market, individual income levels and their impact on levels of domestic consumer spending in the global markets, which in turn depend on the worldwide economic conditions, which have recently deteriorated significantly in many countries and regions and may remain depressed for the foreseeable future.
- China is an emerging market. The Fund invests in Chinese companies which may involve increased risks and special considerations not typically associated with investments in more developed markets, such as liquidity risk, currency risks, political risk, legal and taxation risks, and the likelihood of a high degree of volatility.
- The trading price of the Fund’s unit (the “Unit”) on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong is driven by market factors such as demand and supply of the Unit. Therefore, the Units may trade at a substantial premium or discount to the Fund’s net asset value.
- The Fund’s synthetic replication strategy will involve investing up to 50% of its net asset value in financial derivative instruments (“FDIs”), mainly funded total return swap transaction(s) through one or more counterparty(ies). Risks associated with FDIs include counterparty/credit risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, volatility risk and over-the-counter transaction risk. FDIs are susceptible to price fluctuations and higher volatility, and may have large bid and offer spreads and no active secondary markets. The leverage element/component of an FDI can result in a loss significantly greater than the amount invested in the FDI by the Sub-Fund.
- As part of the securities lending transactions, there is a risk of shortfall of collateral value due to inaccurate pricing of the securities lent or change of value of securities lent. This may cause significant losses to the Fund. The borrower may fail to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. The Fund may suffer from a loss or delay when recovering the securities lent out. This may restrict the Fund’s ability in meeting delivery or payment obligations from realisation requests.
Further Policy Rollouts to Support Market Rebound
NDRC to Brief Policy Stimulus Details on 8 Oct Press Conference
The strong China market rally has been bolstered by the significant policy pivot as announced by PBOC and other central government departments, and we could be seeing more concrete supports to the real economy as regulators further rollout details for the policies. Following the policy announcements, Premier Li Qiang promised faster implementation of easing measures on the Sep 29 State Council Meeting, which reaffirms the sense of urgency of Central Government to support the economy, and further elevated market sentiments.
On Oct 8, NDRC will host press conference to brief policy stimulus packages. Though no details have been disclosed, the market is expecting the gradual rollout of Rmb trillions of fiscal packages to support local government financing, bank recapitalization, social welfare and consumption. On Monetary policies, the September Politburo Meeting pledged to conduct further rate cuts, thus we could be expecting further policy rate and RRR cuts to provide more liquidity to the market. In addition, further execution details on the Rmb800bn innovative monetary policy tools to support capital markets announced on Sep 24 could be further catalyst for the market. On Housing policies, we already see relaxation of home purchase restrictions by four tier-1 cities, and concrete progress on central government’s support in buying back developers’ idle land to help home completions should provide more confidence on property market stabilization in China. The policy rollout progress will be gradual, and any concrete progress should be positively received by investors.
