The exchange-traded funds that invest in the stocks of China-based companies constitute China ETFs. These funds include both index funds and funds specific to categories and sectors. China ETFs have become new avenues of investments in the past few years as China has become the upcoming market for new businesses.
The performance of China ETFs has largely been affected by the trade war between the US and China. Additionally, China ETFs are also a bit tricky to invest in with the differences in underlying indexes, shares, offerings, and structures. However, they still continue to generate good returns on investment and are expected to continue doing so.

Factors to Consider Before Investing in China ETFs
The most significant factor to consider before investing in China ETFs is the geo-political risks surrounding them. Investors must remain aware of the impact of the trade tensions between the US and China on the performance of China ETFs.
China ETFs are demonstrating high volatility and risks in the present times. However, if the selection of the funds is made after due diligence and extensive research, China ETFs hold the strong potential for promising returns. Many China ETFs have bounced back from their lows, and more are expected to perform better in the times to come.
Which China ETFs Should I Buy?
A large number of China ETFs trade on the US stock exchanges. Among them, we have compiled a list of the top China ETFs to make the selection easier for you. Despite the trade tensions, a few China ETFs have been able to generate positive year-to-date returns.
Investors must decide if they want to invest in index funds or sector-specific funds. Additionally, the assets under management of the fund selected must be more than $10 million, and the expense ratio must be low.
