TAO vs. ETF Alternatives
TAO Description
The Guggenheim/AlphaShares China Real Estate 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 Real Estate Index (the “Index”). The Index is designed to measure and monitor the performance of publicly issued common equity securities of publicly-traded companies and real estate investment trusts ("REITs") which are open to foreign ownership and derive a majority of their revenues from real estate development, management and/or ownership of property in China or the Special Administrative Regions of China such as Hong Kong and Macau. 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 expenses, the performance of the AlphaShares China Real Estate Index. The Index is designed to measure and monitor the performance of the investable universe of publicly-traded companies and REITs deriving a majority of their revenues from real estate development, management and/or ownership of property in China or the Special Administrative Regions of China, such as Hong Kong and Macau. The Index was created by AlphaShares, Inc. (“AlphaShares” or the “Index Provider”) and is maintained by Standard & Poor’s (the “Index Administrator”). The Index methodology is published at www.alphashares.com. The Index will include equity securities of companies of all capitalizations, as defined by AlphaShares. AlphaShares does not guarantee the inclusion of all relevant securities in the Index.

- Wednesday, April 18, 2012, 7:37 AM Residential land prices in China were off a fraction in Q1 - the first quarterly drop in 3 years, reports the China Land Surveying & Planning Institute. The group, however, warns of "hot money" flowing into the industrial sector as developers turn towards that cheaper land on which to do their building. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, April 18, 2012, 7:32 AM Home prices fell in 62 out of 70 tracked Chinese cities in March, according to a private survey (official survey here). The figure was slightly worse than February, but an improvement from November's level. The China Real Estate ETF: TAO +21.9% YTD. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, April 18, 2012, 7:27 AM Home prices fell in 46 out of 70 tracked Chinese cities in March, up from declines in 45 in February, reports the NBS. On a Y/Y basis, home prices declined in 38 cities vs. just 27 in February. Home sales were 17% lower during Q1, says Credit Agicole's Dariusz Kowalczyk, citing separate data. Shangahi +2% last night, led by property developers. Go figure. 3 Comments [Global & FX]
- Friday, April 13, 2012, 9:41 AM Several banks are cutting mortgage rates and speeding approvals in China's first-tier cities, an apparent attempt to drum up business in the slowing sector. Some lenders are offering 1st-time homebuyers rates 15% below the government-set 7.05% level, as opposed to a year ago when they were forced to charge 10% above that mark. Comment! [Global & FX, Financials]
- Friday, April 13, 2012, 9:13 AM More on China's GDP: Q1 annualized growth dips to 7.4% from 7.8% in Q4 and below the government target of 7.5%. Consumption spending contributed 76% of the growth vs. a 10-year average of 42%. Real estate was the main drag with prices, floor space started, and floor space sold all in negative territory. 7 Comments [Global & FX]
- Thursday, April 12, 2012, 10:08 AM Construction activity appears to have picked up a bit over the past months in China, according to a Standard Chartered Survey. Yet looking at a chart of sharply rising property inventory, one wonders if that's a good thing. As for 2012's big stimulus - social housing - survey respondents believe little if any of these projects are actually new. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Thursday, March 29, 2012, 4:56 PM The chairmen of Sun Hung Properties (SUHJY.PK -13.1%) - Ray and Thomas Kwok - were arrested on suspicion of corruption last night by Hong Kong's ICAC. Their company is the largest developer by market value in Asia and the family is worth $18.3B. The timing is of interest, coming after the election of a new HK chief executive and amid sentiment against rising house prices and developers. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Thursday, March 29, 2012, 8:12 AM Chinese shopping mall developer Renhe has its credit rating cut to B with negative Creditwatch, by S&P. "Property sales and liquidity could weaken significantly more than expected," says the agency. "Canary in a coal mine," asks the Bond Vigilantes, noting the firm's bonds are off 15% and stock down 35% this week. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, March 28, 2012, 8:01 AM Profit estimates for Chinese firms remain "far too optimistic," says SocGen, seizing on the report that Y/Y industrial profits shrank in the year's first 2 months. Among the losers in Shanghai's 2.7% plunge last night: Alum. Corp. of China (ACH) -5.8% and Jiangxi Copper JIXAY.PK) -5.5%. FXI -0.3% premarket. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, March 27, 2012, 3:11 PM "The market has never been as hot as it is now," says Zhang Xin, CEO of property Chinese property developer Soho China. Her business is office properties in Beijing and Shanghai and there is great demand for more space, but tight credit means no one can get funding for more buildings. 3 Comments [Global & FX]
- Friday, March 23, 2012, 10:00 AM "The downside risk is a period of declining growth not for a few quarters, but for a few years," says the Peterson Institute's Nicholas Lardy. Of the opinion many in China are in denial about a significant property correction, Lardy says stock market reforms could hasten the real estate slide as folks see another outlet for their investment dollars. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, March 21, 2012, 12:18 PM Having trouble making money from property sales and the flow of credit from banks cut off, Chinese developers are raising funds elsewhere and looking for alternative businesses to invest in. This comes at a cost as bond issuance is costing Chinese property firms more than double the average global yield. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 11:18 AM "There's a changed psychology among buyers," says Patrick Chovanec, waving off the myth that Beijing can flip a switch and get the country's property market booming again. He's also skeptical a building boom from affordable housing will save the day, saying the money to finance this isn't readily available. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Monday, March 19, 2012, 9:30 AM In addition to falling Chinese property prices is a sharp slowdown in sales, SocGen's team noting a 20% decline Y/Y for January and February combined. It's the worst result since 2008 and the worst since the series started in 2006. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Sunday, March 18, 2012, 9:55 PM Home prices fell in 45 of 70 tracked cities in China in February (48 out of 70 in January), according to the National Bureau of Statistics. On a Y/Y basis, prices declined in 27 of the towns vs. just 15 in January. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, March 14, 2012, 9:10 AM More on last night's remarks from China Premier Wen: He warns of "chaos" in the market if property curbs are relaxed. The chairman of property developer Soho China (SOHOF.PK) calls the remarks "bad news" for players with high levels of debt. In addition to a steep drop in Shanghai, Hong Kong shares give up big gains to close red. EWH -0.6% premarket. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
