I wanted to provide some advice for individuals who would like to invest in China, but aren't sure where to start. International equities rose 40%+ last year, compared to the ~22% gain from the S&P 500, making International investing an attractive opportunity.
There's a lot of talk about $BABA, $JD, $TCEHY and a lot of other Chinese companies, but sometimes it's hard to choose which one is going to be the best. My recommendation would be to look into $HAO and $YAO ("Small Cap" and "All Market" Chinese Index ETFs, respectively).
These two are low-expense and a great way to expose your portfolio to the wonderful opportunities that are cropping up in China, without the hassle of trying to figure out which EXACT company in China is going to be the best investment for 2018. These are also accessible on Robinhood.
EDIT: Correction -- The expense ratios are a little hefty for these ETFs. I was looking at a few others when I had originally submitted this post and got these mixed up. $GXC is a great alternative, but here's a compiled list of ETFs in case people would like to compare and contrast.
If nothing else, I'm just trying to help point people in the right direction for International investing. Not trying to claim one ETF is better than another, or that the two ETFs mentioned above are the best.
