Trade tensions are high heading into 2019, and it’s not looking like the U.S. or China are going to be making any resolutions this new year. Authorities in the two countries have enacted new tariffs on products that are commonly exchanged, including cars, smartphones, and soybeans. President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping agreed upon a temporary truce at the G20 Summit earlier in December, but investors and market analysts are holding their breaths for the next chapter in the U.S.-China trade war.
Trade tensions or not, many U.S. exchange-traded funds (ETFs) remain interested in China-based corporations. In fact, there are a number of ETFs focused exclusively on China equities at this time. For many of these funds, the fallout from the U.S.-China trade war has been disastrous. In fact, at the time of writing, only a handful of ETFs investing in China have managed to eke out positive returns year-to-date. In this article, we take a closer look at some of the best — or in many cases, the least bad — ETF performers investing in Chinese companies right now.
