ETFs

Posted by btr Wed, 28 May 2003 23:49:02 GMT

I did some research on ETFs for fixed income and market exposure in China at ETFConnect. Here's the list:

  • TFT - ETF Advisor Trust Treasury 1 Fixed Income Trust Receipts: it can be used as cash equivalent, and currently yields about 1.26%. Edit: I found out today that TFT was closed for liquidation at AMEXTrader.
  • GCH - Greater China Fund, Inc: Other 6.10%, China 24.60%, Taiwan 30.70% (% for COUNTRY DIVERSIFICATION)
  • CHN - China Fund: China 5.40%, United States 7.90%, Taiwan 33.90%, Hong Kong 47.10% (too little exposure in China)
  • JFC - Jardine Fleming China Region Fund: China 24.40%, Taiwan 26.30%, Hong Kong 49.10%
  • TCH - Templeton China World Fund: Taiwan 7.70%, Hong Kong 34.70%, China 40.30%
  • The market moved higher in the morning then gave up most of gains and ended slightly higher. Profit taking maybe ...

    A lot of selling on MSFT pushed price to drop 0.38 in volume of almost 100 million shares.

    When you have a patient with a high fever, you don't sit around asking what caused the fever, you focus on getting it down, says Dennis Gartman about today's ECB "backdoor bazooka." It may not solve Europe's financing problems, but it will provide much needed liquidity to the banks and prevent any disorderly deleveraging, at least over the near-term. Sometimes, Gartman says, just buying time is the best you can do. (video)
