Amundi MSCI China ESG Selection Extra UCITS ETF Dist

What this fund is

Amundi MSCI China ESG Selection Extra UCITS ETF Dist is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from Amundi, traded under the ticker LYHSI (ISIN LU1900067940). One trade buys a whole basket of holdings, so your money is spread out instead of riding on a single 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 follows the MSCI China ESG Selection P-Series Extra Net Total Return Index index (passive investing): it tracks the market rather than relying on a manager, keeping running costs down, and its largest holdings include TENCENT HOLDINGS LTD, ALIBABA GROUP HOLDING LTD and CHINA CONSTRUCTION BANK HK. Spread across roughly 168 holdings (the ten largest ≈ 58.1%), no one position makes or breaks the fund.

Its biggest country exposures are ~100% China. By industry it concentrates most in ~28.9% Consumer Discretionary and ~22.5% Communication Services. 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), and over the last year it paid out roughly 1.71% (its trailing yield).

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 EUR. Its price has swung about 20.1% over the past year, which describes how much its price tends to move rather than whether it is good. It launched in 2023. 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 Amundi.)
