Senator Jack Reed said a hearing set for Thursday will be the first in a series investigating whether the market structure created by the SEC contributed to the near failure of Knight Capital and the botched flotations of Facebook and BATS Global Markets. It will also examine whether some high-frequency traders have an unfair advantage.
WisdomTree Launches First China Dividend ex-Financials Fund (CHXF)
CHXF Offers Diversified Exposure to Growth Potential of China
Fund removes volatility of financial sector, presenting meaningful alternative to traditional China index-based strategies
September 19, 2012-- WisdomTree (WETF), an exchange-traded fund ("ETF") sponsor and asset manager, today announced the launch of the WisdomTree China Dividend ex-Financials Fund (CHXF) on the NASDAQ Stock Market.
CHXF is designed to provide broad-based exposure to Chinese dividend-paying stocks outside of the financial sector and has an expense ratio of 0.63%.
Luciano Siracusano, WisdomTree Chief Investment Strategist, stated "The case for investing in China has become increasingly apparent to investors, but we believe some of the most popular China index-based strategies fail to offer diversified exposure. In fact, the FTSE China 25 Index1 -- tracked by the biggest China ETF in the U.S. -- has more than 50% of its weight in the financial sector. 2 We think investors should be able to access the growth potential of China without taking on such concentration risk, and have designed CHXF to offer a broader, diversified basket of Chinese dividend-paying securities."
