Xtrackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF(AMEX:ASHR)

ASHR was the first US-listed China ETF capable of accessing the China A-share market directly. The fund is able to hold A-shares in the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges through the subadvisor, Harvest Global Investments, which has an RQFII license up to a specific quota. If the quota is reached, the index will have to either get its quota increased, use derivatives to maintain exposure, or limit or halt creations, so monitoring is warranted. The funds focus on mainland A-shares also gives it a large-cap tilt and a heavy bias toward financials. The RQFII quota can make creations difficult. The index is reviewed semi-annually.
