Thanks @glina ASHR and CNYA indeed look interesting. From what I understand CNYA is accumulating and is already in ICTAX, so I’ll pay the tax on virtual dividends. ASHR is US-listed so distributing like VWO etc.
CNYA tracks China A Inclusion Index (260 A shares) and not yet China A Index (427 A shares)
" The MSCI China A Inclusion Index is designed to track the progressive partial inclusion of A shares in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index over time. It currently includes large cap A Shares and in the event of further inclusion of A shares to the regional index, the newly eligible A shares will be added, reflecting those A shares compatible with Stock Connect and based on the offshore RMB exchange rate. " (ref)
KraneShares KBA has already moved to MSCI China A Index, though its TER is double of CNYA at 0.8
As for Chinese “exotica”: 1 bite at a time
