Many investors are interested in investing in the Chinese stock market, but to achieve this goal, you don’t have to buy Chinese companies’ shares. Actually, buying the FTSE China A50 index is a great way to tap into the growth potential of the Chinese stock market. So, the questions are: do I need to open an account to invest in China A50 index? Can I invest in the A50 index with a small amount of money? What are some easy ways to invest in the FTSE A50?
Let’s take a look at the answers to the above questions: since the ftse A50 is an index, direct investment in an index typically requires more capital from investors and usually means you have to open a futures trading account. However, for investors with a small amount of fund, they can consider investing in the FTSE A50 through an ETF on the US stock market. One ETF that tracks the A50 index is AFTY. If investors already have an existing account for trading U.S. stocks, they can trade AFTY directly without opening additional accounts, making it easy to invest indirectly in the A50 index.
Since ETFs trade like stocks, you can go long on AFTY, or you can also go the other way and short the ETF. You can find AFTY ETF on almost every stock brokers’ trading system, including: TD Ameritrade, IB, E*TRADE, Snowball Securities, Tiger Brokers and Firstrade.
