JP Morgan Asset Management has expanded its ‘BetaBuilders’ suite of low-cost, passively managed funds with the launch of Europe’s first China aggregate bond ETF.
The fund is the first ETF in Europe to provide Chinese aggregate bond exposure.
The JPM BetaBuilders China Aggregate Bond UCITS ETF has been listed on London Stock Exchange in US dollars (Ticker: JCHA LN) and pound sterling (JCAP LN), on SIX Swiss Exchange in US dollars (JCHA SW), and on Xetra (JCHA GY) and Borsa Italiana (JCHA IM) in euros.
The ETF has come to market with $50 million in assets.
The fund is linked to the Bloomberg China Treasury + Policy Bank + Liquid IG Credit Issuers Index which consists of fixed-rate, investment-grade debt issued on China’s Interbank Bond Market by the Chinese government, policy banks, and corporate issuers.
