VWO
From China Stock Market
The Vanguard Emerging Markets ETF seeks to track the performance of the Select Emerging Markets Free index. The fund employs a passively managed investment approach by investing all or substantially all of its assets in a representative sample of the common stocks included in the Selected Emerging Markets Free index. This index includes approximately 500 common stocks of companies located in emerging markets around the world.
The holdings in the Vanguard Emerging Markets ETF are concentrated in the fast-growing economies of Brazil, China, India, Korea, Russia, South Africa, and Taiwan. Since inception in March 2005, the ETF is up 48%. Buying VWO is the best way to play Emerging Stock Market around the world without entering each individual stock market.
The VWO is recently (Nov. 2006) voted as the "Best ETF in 2007" by the Motley Fool Caps community.
The VWO is not a China stock market ETF but companies such as Petro China is a holding in the VWO. This is one way to invest in China but also minimize the risk of too much concentration.
How To Invest
The VWO can be bought with a brokerage account, just like any other Exchange Traded Fund.
