How can I invest in the Chinese stock market?

Answer 1

I would choose two or three of the China ETFs available by going to www.etfconnect.com and type in "China" on search box. Then research the 5 ETFs and 2 Index ETFs that come up. CAF does not have a long track record to evaluate but Morgan Stanley has done quite well in India and other Emerging Markets and I would strongly consider this fund as a China investment. Good luck!!

Answer 2

To actually invest in the Chinese stock market ask people around you that currently invest in the market (does not have to invest in the Chinese market) and ask them to refer you to their financial advisor. Then just ask them about the international funds that they offer and find the one you are looking for. But before you go, look on MorningStar to do a little research on your own to just see what investment firms have produced good results in the past. You want to invest in a fund that has a good track record and more importantly one with the same manager that it was founded upon.

P.S. definately look around b/c unfortunately the good funds are now closed. Meaning the manager of the fund has just the right amount of $$ he wants to work with. Such as Matthews Tiger fund. Its a great asian mkt fund.

Answer 4

You can trade individual stocks, but you're probably better off ( just a little safer) in mutual funds or ETF's
Go to yahoo/finance or msn/cnbc and look at their "funds" links.
It has been a great market for awhile...a little shaky the last week, but it will be one of the places this year to make your money grow.
