Invesco S&P China A 300 Swap UCITS ETF Acc

What this fund is

Invesco S&P China A 300 Swap UCITS ETF Acc is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from Invesco, traded under the ticker C300 (ISIN IE000K9Z3SF5). It lets you buy a basket of holdings in a single trade, spreading your money across them rather than one company. In plain terms it is about owning small slices of companies, so you share in their growth when they do well — and their falls when they don't, spread across its target market. Rather than a manager picking stocks, it simply replicates the S&P China A 300 Index index — the passive, low-cost approach, and its largest holdings include APPLE INC, TESLA INC and MICROSOFT CORP. Spread across roughly 94 holdings (the ten largest ≈ 37.3%), no one position makes or breaks the fund.

By geography it is weighted towards ~71% United States, ~9.9% Switzerland and ~5.1% Netherlands. Its heaviest sectors are ~25.7% Technology and ~17.3% Health Care. Investors often use a broad fund like this as a long-term 'core' holding — a single building block that covers much of a global portfolio in one trade. Its ongoing charge (TER) is 0.35% a year — about €35 a year on a €10,000 holding, taken automatically from the fund. It is an accumulating share class: dividends are rolled straight back in, compounding your returns rather than landing in your account as cash.

It tracks its index through a swap agreement rather than owning every holding (synthetic replication); it is domiciled in Ireland and UCITS-regulated, a European standard built to protect everyday investors and trades in USD. On the standard KID risk scale it is rated 4 out of 7 and its price has swung about 18.4% over the past year — a gauge of how much the value moves, not a judgement of quality. It launched in 2022, and its KID suggests a holding period of 5 years. As with any investment, its value can go down as well as up, and past performance is not a guide to future results.
