CHIQ in Focus

The MSCI China Consumer Discretionary 10/50 Index follows a rules-based methodology that is designed to select constituents of the MSCI China Index. The fund charges 65 bps in fees (see all Asia-Pacific (Emerging) ETFs here).

Why the Move?

China's retail sales jumped 8% year over year in November 2019, after a 7.2% gain in the previous month and above market estimates of a 7.6% rise. This marked the largest rise in retail trade since June. This explains the latest jump in the China consumer ETF. The announcement of the phase-one U.S.-China trade deal was an added tailwind.

More Gains Ahead?

The fund has a Zacks ETF Rank #3 (Hold). It also has a positive weighted alpha of 39.20, which gives cues of further rally.
