Summary
The Global X MSCI China Utilities ETF (CHIU) offers targeted exposure to the Chinese utilities sector by tracking the MSCI China Utilities Index. Its appeal lies in its sector-specific focus, but its AUM and liquidity are lower compared to broad-based China ETFs. Investors should be aware of the specific risks associated with the Chinese market and the utilities sector. It is best suited for long-term investors bullish on Chinese utilities and seeking targeted exposure, understanding that sector-specific risks exist.
