The Fund invests most of its total assets in the equities of member companies of the FTSE China A50 Index. This is a RQFII fund. Note that this fund holds the physical shares of the listed companies included in the FTSE China A50 Index (and hence is not a synthetic ETF index fund which only has derivatives exposure to the companies included in FTSE China A50 Index).
You must take special note that CSOP FTSE China A50 ETF is the first physical ETF based on the FTSE China A50 Index and offers investors the most direct channel for participation in the China blue-chip market.

CSOP A50 ETF index fund is different from iShares FTSE A50 China Index ETF index fund (HK stock quote 2823.HK). The latter is another popular A50 ETF index fund also traded on the HKSE, but this is a synthetic ETF index fund that also tracks FTSE China A50 Index.
