CNXT

CNXT is one of the more innovative China ETFs to launch in years. It's a highly niche-y ETF that targets 100 of the largest stocks listed on Shenzhen's SME and ChiNext Boards, which cater to smaller- and medium-size enterprise companies. Many companies included in the index tilt toward tech and consumer-related companies and startups needing less stringent listing requirements. CNXT is part of a new class of China funds called RQFII ETFs, which directly hold mainland-listed shares through a quota system. Prior to Dec. 10, 2021, the fund was named VanEck Vectors ChinaAMC SME-ChiNext ETF and tracked the SME-ChiNext 100 Index.
