Xtrackers Harvest Csi A500 UCITS ETF 1D

Xtrackers Harvest Csi A500 UCITS ETF 1D is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from Xtrackers, traded under the ticker AH50 (ISIN LU1310477036). 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. It passively tracks the CSI A500 Index index — mirroring that market instead of paying a manager to pick winners, which keeps costs low, and its largest holdings include ZHONGJI INNOLIGHT LTD A, CONTEMPORARY AMPEREX TECHNOLOGY LT and EOPTOLINK TECHNOLOGY INC LTD A. Spread across roughly 470 holdings (the ten largest ≈ 20.6%), no one position makes or breaks the fund. By geography it is weighted towards ~99.8% China. Its heaviest sectors are ~37.7% Technology and ~16.6% Industrials. It is commonly used to tilt a portfolio towards one market, usually alongside broader, more global funds rather than on its own. Its ongoing charge (TER) is 0.65% a year — about €65 a year on a €10,000 holding, taken automatically from the fund. Income such as dividends is paid out to you as cash (a distributing share class). It holds the underlying investments directly (physical replication); it is domiciled in Luxembourg and UCITS-regulated, a European standard built to protect everyday investors and trades in USD. On the standard KID risk scale it is rated 6 out of 7 and its price has swung about 20.9% over the past year, which describes how much its price tends to move rather than whether it is good. It launched in 2016. Like any investment, it can lose value as well as gain, and what it did before does not predict what it will do next. (Fund data sourced from Xtrackers.)
