Financial journalist opinion

CNYA: Relying Too Heavily On Financials

CNYA offers diversified exposure to China's domestic A-share market, with strengths in tech and industrials but heavy financial sector weighting. Short-term risks remain due to China's property market struggles and global trade tensions, making the outlook too uncertain for a buy recommendation. Government stimulus and strong projected GDP growth (4.8% in 2025) support long-term opportunities, especially in EVs and infrastructure.

CNYA: Exposure To A-Shares Makes It A Buy, Despite High Expense Ratio And Overvaluation

CNYA offers wide diversification with 433 different A-share positions, but comes with a higher expense ratio of 0.6% and a relatively high P/E ratio of 16.26 compared to H-shares. A-shares often trade at a premium compared to H-shares, leading to lower dividend yields and higher risks, which should be a concern for investors. Despite its diversification and exclusion of ADRs and VIEs, CNYA holds some overpriced assets, making it a decent but not ideal long-term investment.
