Just one comment… Index funds are lazy. They do well when the entire market is going up and perform horribly when the market is going down. On the other hand.. a targeted fund like MCHFX will probably outperform FXI in a stagnant or downward market atmosphere. The reason being that a selection of well picked stocks that don’t represent the overall market will outperform. When picking, this should be considered as well I think.

great article! it’s interesting that these Chinese companies perform differently on HK vs NY stock exchanges. perhaps FXI is over-traded while PGJ is under-traded . . .

Thanks your research. I think China and India are the greatest countries to invest this decade.

This is a great post, thank you. Besides this useful info, I want to share with you my experience with an aonline china stcok research company, Chinvestor .

They refer to FXI in their newsletter quite a lot and they favor it over to PGJ. There is a na ctual study rthey posted the time PGJ became publicly traded. They suggested FXI being superior over PGJ due to fundamental reasons. They got it right, FXI’s performance has been superb in contrast to PGJ.

There is an active message board over at Chinvestor’s site with an ETF session. Look in there to find related postings.

Good luck China investors

Well done.

This is a great analysis of key foreign funds. I like to follow chinese stocks, because I too agree there is a large growth potential in that region of the world.

I wrote a post on Chinese stocks that sheds some insight on 2 strong chinese stocks and an india-based company.

P.S. This post has made my Editor’s Picks for this week’s Carnival of Investing.
