Especially during recent period when Renminbi maintains stable, the ETF has been subscribed constantly, with current asset of over USD50 million, wherein asset under management (AUM) of this year rapidly increased 19 million with an accumulated volume of transactions within one week exceeding 500,000, becoming the most liquid product among its peers. With the outstanding performance, the product was recommended by ETF.com as the most innovative bond ETF.
Ms. Gaohui Huang, CEO of E Fund HK, stated, "Chinese onshore bond market has developed rapidly over the last decade, and has become one of the largest markets in the emerging economies. Half a year after its debut, the ETF already grows into the largest RQFII bond ETF in the US market, introducing a new way into Chinese bond market for US money market funds with low interest rate and bank deposit market, becoming an indicator reflecting US investors' interest in Renminbi."
"China money market can achieve a high return, which can't be achieved by other funds," said Mr. David Zhang, E Fund HK chief investment officer and co-portfolio manager of the Fund. "Chinese onshore commercial paper market is very liquid, with more than $270bilion USD outstanding amount and an average $3billion USD daily trading volume. As investors have great interest in Chinese market, the product will continue to provide a superior investment option for US investors." He added.
Mr. Jonathan Krane, CEO of KraneShares, said, "China has a very flat yield curve with relatively high interest rates versus the US, specifically in maturities under one year. For example, over the past twelve months China commercial paper returned 5.85%+ in USD compared to US commercial paper at less than 0.20%, that's a 5.65% difference.

Our cooperation, launching the ETF on the New York Stock Exchange, has been recognized by the local market and achieved outstanding performance, which further proves it is a right choice to cooperate with E Fund, because (capital/ investment ) turning to emerging markets is inevitable."
