HAO vs. ETF Alternatives
HAO Description
The Guggenheim/AlphaShares China Small Cap Index ETF (the "Fund") seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the Fund’s fees and expenses, of an equity index called the AlphaShares China Small Cap Index (the “Index”). The Index is designed to measure and monitor the performance of the publicly-traded mainland China-based small capitalization companies. The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its total assets in common stock, American depositary receipts (“ADRs”), American depositary shares (“ADSs”), global depositary receipts (“GDRs”) and international depositary receipts (“IDRs”) that comprise the Index. Guggenheim Advisors, LLC (the "Investment Adviser") seeks a correlation over time of 0.95 or better between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Index. A figure of 1.00 would represent perfect correlation. The Fund, using a low cost “passive”or “indexing” investment approach, will seek to replicate, before fees and expenses, the performance of the AlphaShares China Small Cap Index. The Index was created by AlphaShares ("AlphaShares" or the "Index Provider") and is maintained by Standard & Poor’s (the “Index Administrator”). The Index methodology is published at www.alphashares.com. For inclusion in the Index, AlphaShares defines small-capitalization companies as those companies with a maximum $1.5 billion market capitalization. AlphaShares does not guarantee the inclusion of all relevant securities in the Index.

- Monday, May 20, 8:22 AM Guggenheim announces the closing of its Chinese Yuan bond ETF (RMB), effective June 14 as the fund failed to generate significant investor interest since its 2011 launch. The fund’s May dividend distribution will be suspended which should maximize the amount shareholders will receive at liquidation on or about June 21st. Comment!
- Tuesday, March 12, 7:19 AM Shanghai falls 1%, with regulator plans to increase the supply of shares by resuming IPOs the excuse du jour. Most affected by the bump in supply would be small caps (HAO), and they declined 3.4%. China Life Insurance (LFC) fell 1.7% as its shares began trading again after Monday's suspension. FXI -0.8% premarket. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Monday, January 7, 3:00 PM For those interested in Chinese stocks, but wanting to state away from the state-owned mega caps favored by FXI or GXC, Dennis Hudacheck recommends the China Consumer ETF (CHIQ) and the Guggenheim China Small Cap ETF (HAO) - really more of a mid-cap fund. For true small cap exposure, there's the MSCI China Small Cap Fund (ECNS). Performance comparison. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, July 25, 2012, 2:57 AM China’s slowing economy faces significant downside risks and relies too much on investment, says the IMF in its annual review (.pdf), and the yuan is still "moderately" undervalued. The report urges China to boost consumption and to direct savings away from housing. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, July 17, 2012, 3:28 AM Profits at Chinese state-owned enterprises fell 11.6% in H1 to 1.02T yuan ($160B), the Ministry of Finance said late yesterday. Private companies are likely to follow suit. Analysts warn investors should be bracing for a hard landing for Chinese stocks, with a big fall likely in H1 corporate profits and outright losses possible for companies in the materials sector (ETF: CHIM), including steel and petrochemical producers. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, July 3, 2012, 2:54 PM The most popular China ETF, FXI, is a play on a handful of the country's mega-cap state-owned businesses, with the big 4 banks making up 25% of the weighting. Still top-heavy with mega-caps, GXC and YAO hold a wider variety of stocks. Want to get completely away from the biggest firms? Try the small cap (HAO) or Consumer (CHIQ) ETFs. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Thursday, May 31, 2012, 1:25 AM Chinese stocks will keep rising, with the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index poised to add 15% by year-end as slowing inflation gives the government room to loosen monetary policy and allows for bank lending to pick up, according to Beijing Gao Hua Securities Co, Goldman Sachs' China partner. 3 Comments [Global & FX, Quick Ideas]
- Monday, January 9, 2012, 2:19 AM Over the weekend, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao called for efforts to boost confidence in the country's stock market, increased oversight of its financial markets, and rule changes to allow private-capital investment in banks and insurers. If put in place, the policies could be a positive short- and long-term catalyst for China. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, October 12, 2011, 7:35 AM With many of its smaller companies starved for credit and turning to the underground market - and exorbitant rates - for borrowing, China unveils steps to ease the crunch. Among the measures are lower reserve ratios for smaller banks, making bond issuance easier, and tax breaks. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Monday, June 27, 2011, 8:07 AM Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao says China will find it difficult to meet its 4% inflation target this year but expects it to come in below 5%. In May, inflation was 5.5%. Wen, who is on a trip to Europe, also forecast that the economy would grow above 8%-9%. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Monday, May 30, 2011, 2:46 PM Shanghai's attempt to snap a seven-day slump fails at the last minute. While some economists aren't worried about the recent Beijing-induced drop in growth, others worry deeply entrenched inflation will force China to keep its foot on the brakes for a long time. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, May 18, 2011, 8:20 AM Underperformers in 2011, emerging markets, particularly India and China, could benefit from the sell-off in commodities as easing inflation pressure allows central banks to take their foot off the brake. With stock valuations low on a relative basis, look for liquidity to shift from commodities to these markets. Comment! [Global & FX, Quick Ideas]
- Thursday, May 12, 2011, 11:20 AM "The Chinese economy is slowing down more than people realize," says Goldman's Jim O'Neill, who believes it's no coincidence that commodity prices are turning south. The effusive BRIC bull says this is a good thing as it will allow China to stop tightening money. Did it ever start? 4 Comments [Global & FX, Commodities]
- Wednesday, May 4, 2011, 7:27 AM China shares -2.3% following the hawkish tone in the PBOC Q1 monetary policy report. "Stabilizing prices and managing inflation expectations are critical," says the report which also say bank reserve requirement have no "absolute ceiling." 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, May 3, 2011, 9:42 AM Fervent China bull Jim O'Neill of Goldman lowers his temperature a few degrees, expecting more monetary tightening as the latest data show neither the economy slowing nor price pressures abating. He notes China A shares have given up 1/2 of YTD gains, suggesting a loss of confidence by the locals. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Friday, April 29, 2011, 4:30 AM Rather than deciding on whether to bet on China or take a punt with India, smart investors should seek exposure to both: "Picking one and leaving out the other would be a high-risk strategy," one strategist says. The good news: Both of the world's most populous countries can point to powerful population trends that bode well for continued strong growth. 3 Comments [Global & FX, Quick Ideas]
