Investing in the Chinese stock market how?

[tescorank]

The Chinese stock market rose by 38 per cent in 2014, and growth this year is expected to be “more wild and more spectacular” as new, small investors continue to pile in, how do we over here get some of the action-just on their equivalent of ftse overall?

I know this doesn't answer your question directly, but I invest in China via the Henderson China Opportunities fund - the past 12 months performance has been 33.6% and all done through the convenience of a platform (I use CoFunds but there's loads of choices which are cheaper than CoFunds).

If you can invest in a fund within your ISA allowance there wont be any tax to pay either, its unearned income otherwise.

I'm in a China special Situations Fund, its done very well.

Good point about the ISA. I believe Gartmore also do a HK & China fund - worth looking into.

It has been a lively week on the Chinese market....

You might want to have a look at Fidelity China Special Situations. Despite a very strong performance in the last year it is still at a fair discount to NAV (about 11% i think) and Dale Nicholls the new manager seems impressive. Investment trusts can be cheaper to hold on some platforms but you will pay stamp duty on the purchase. Not one for widows and orphans though....

I'm heavily invested in China, but I wouldn't be looking to add any more money now. The Chinese stock market is a law to itself and controlled by actions of the government in its adhoc appliance of rules and regulations, as seen over the last six weeks of volatility.

Only invest now what you can afford to completely loose, if you make some money cash in your profits regularly.

I got out of Fidelity when it moved back into profit a year or so ago. The returns on the HSBC250 have been comparable so have avoided it for now. Current price is looking good, especially for those who had a share split early on.
