Need help finding a Heng Seng (China) ETF

[smartinvestor30]

I looked on ishares and powershares and did a google search but I can't find a good ETF which tracks the Heng Seng. Any help would be appreciated.


Also if there's an ETF that invests in Chinese bonds that would be great too.

My understanding is FXI is the more popular ETF for China exposure. Another alternative is EWH which looks to benchmark the MSCI Hong Kong Index. Hope this helps.

You've been here how long and you never seen my two huge threads on FXI and FXP?

I kid, I kid. :)

Not sure about the Chinese bonds though.

Speaking of... What's your take on those two ETFs these days anyway? Feel free to resurrect the old thread rather than post here.

Everyone and their mother knows about those, I just want something that tracks the Heng Seng as close as possible, FXI is composed of 25 companies...but the heng seng has 45 or so if I'm not mistaken. Also it says FTSE/Xinhua so isn't FTSE the U.K. index (in other words it's not all chinese stocks)????


Any other ideas? :confused:

Thanks I'll look through these. Obviously I can buy it through the futures market but I'd rather go with an ETF :mrgreen:
