ETF of the Week: VanEck ChiNext ETF (CNXT)

VettaFi’s vice chairman Tom Lydon discussed the VanEck ChiNext ETF (CNXT) on this week’s “ETF of the Week” podcast with Chuck Jaffe of “Money Life.” While the U.S. engages in a policy of fiscal tightening, China is easing, with the Shanghai Composite and CSI 300 both in a two-month rally that has resulted in a gain of 13%. While mainland markets have had challenges this year, the recovery and supportive fiscal policies have equated to outperformance compared to other emerging and developed markets.  CNXT tracks the ChiNext Index which is comprised of the 100 largest and most liquid securities listed on the ChiNext Market on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, and invests in China A-shares, the stocks that trade in mainland China.
