Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80 percent of its assets in the component securities of the FTSE China Capped Index and in depositary receipts representing such securities. The FTSE China Capped Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index maintained and calculated by FTSE Russell with a capping methodology applied quarterly to issuer weights so that no single issuer of a component exceeds 25 percent of the FTSE China Capped Index weight, and all issuers with weights above 5 percent do not cumulatively exceed 50 percent of the FTSE China Capped Indexs weight. The FTSE China Capped Index is based on the FTSE China Index and is designed to measure the performance of Chinese large- and mid-capitalization stocks, as represented by H-Shares (securities of companies incorporated in the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) that are denominated in Hong Kong dollars and listed on the Hong Kong Exchange), B-Shares (securities of companies incorporated in the PRC that are denominated in U.S. dollars or Hong Kong dollars and listed for foreign investment on either the Shanghai or Shenzhen stock exchanges) and A-Shares (securities of companies incorporated in the PRC that are denominated in Chinese renminbi and listed on either the Shanghai or Shenzhen stock exchanges). The FTSE China Capped Index also includes certain securities listed outside of the PRC known as N-Shares (issued by companies incorporated in certain foreign jurisdictions, which are controlled, directly or indirectly, by entities, companies or individuals in the PRC, derive substantial revenues or allocate substantial assets in the PRC and are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ or the NYSE MKT), Red-Chips (issued by companies incorporated in certain foreign jurisdictions, which are controlled, directly or indirectly, by entities owned by the national government or local governments in the PRC, derive substantial revenues or allocate substantial assets in the PRC and are listed on the Hong Kong Exchange), P-Chips (issued by companies incorporated in certain foreign jurisdictions, which are controlled, directly or indirectly, by individuals in the PRC, derive substantial revenues or allocate substantial assets in the PRC and are listed on the Hong Kong Exchange) and S-Chips (issued by companies incorporated in certain foreign jurisdictions, which are controlled, directly or indirectly, by entities, companies or individuals in the PRC, derive substantial revenues or allocate substantial assets in the PRC and are listed on the Singapore Exchange). FTSE Russell determines eligible securities for the FTSE China Capped Index based on measures such as the companys place of incorporation, listing country, investor protection regulations present in the country of incorporation, tax domicile, location of headquarters/ factors of production and currency of denomination.

Acciones chinas: Recuperación, ETF destacados y perspectivas

Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) is reportedly developing redesigned artificial intelligence chips for major Chinese tech firms after warning that tightened U.S. export restrictions on its H20 chip could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44830406/nvidia-to-take-55-billion-hit-over-china-chip-export-restrictions-but-top-analyst-dan-ives-says-hes-not-overly-concerned-all-part-of-the-high-game-of-poker">lead to multibillion-dollar losses</a>.
What Happened: Nvidia has informed key Chinese customers — including Alibaba Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), ByteDance and Tencent Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>) — that it is working on new AI chip designs tailored to comply with U.S. export regulations, reported Reuters, <a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/nvidia-working-china-tailored-chips-u-s-export-ban">citing</a> The Information on Friday.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang discussed the new plans with customers during a mid-April trip to Beijing, the report noted, citing three people involved in the conversation. This was shortly after the company disclosed that the export restrictions could result in a $5.5 billion revenue hit.
A prototype of the redesigned chip could be ready as early as June, the report said. Additionally, Nvidia is said to be developing a China-specific version of its Blackwell AI chip.

Colello pointed to rising competition from Huawei as a major challenge, saying, "I think it's pretty much game over for Nvidia in China."
On Thursday, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told U.S. lawmakers that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45157365/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-warns-us-lawmakers-that-export-bans-are-backfiring-fueling-huaweis-rise-in-global-ai-chip-race">restrictions on exporting AI chips</a> could be giving China's Huawei Technologies an edge in the global race for AI dominance.

Nvidia Reportedly Designing New AI Chips For Alibaba, ByteDance, Tencent After Jensen Huang-Led Company Warned US Export Ban On H20 Could Cost $5.5 Billion

<ul>
<li>President Donald Trump signed an executive order halting funding for NPR and PBS on Thursday</li>
<li>The order cited the outlets' "biased" and "partisan" news coverage as the reason for the decision</li>
<li>NPR and PBS have both issued statements saying they intend to challenge the order</li>
</ul>
Federal funding for National Public Radio and the Public Broadcast Service was halted on Thursday, after President Donald Trump signed an <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/05/ending-taxpayer-subsidization-of-biased-media/">executive order</a> directing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to halt the outlets' funding.
The order said the decision was made because both NPR and PBS publish news that is "biased" and "partisan."

</ul>
"Unlike in 1967, when the CPB was established, today the media landscape is filled with abundant, diverse, and innovative news options," the order read. "Americans have the right to expect that if their tax dollars fund public broadcasting at all, they fund only fair, accurate, unbiased, and nonpartisan news coverage… neither entity presents a fair, accurate, or unbiased portrayal of current events to taxpaying citizens."
A separate <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/05/president-trump-finally-ends-the-madness-of-npr-pbs/">statement</a> put out by the White House said that NPR and PBS are "entities that receive tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer funds each year to spread radical, woke propaganda disguised as ‘news.'"&nbsp;
The statement cited several examples of stories the Trump administration considered "trash that passed for ‘news'" or intolerant of "non-leftist viewpoints," including a "Sesame Street" segment that addressed racism during the Black Lives Matter movement and several NPR stories that dismissed the theory that COVID-19 originated in a lab.

The executive order can be challenged in court.

The situation has raised concerns over public health and potential violations of federal and local environmental laws.
The allegations were outlined in an <a href="https://southernenvironment.sharefile.com/share/view/b1dd4073b14940e2/foa5f606-cfa3-493f-9496-ec0eb02ddb2a">April 9 letter</a> from the Southern Environmental Law Center to the Shelby County Health Department. Memphis is in Shelby County.&nbsp;

SELC claims xAI is using a former Electrolux manufacturing site for its AI operations. It says the company installed and is operating 35 natural gas turbines—more than double the 15 turbines listed in its initial permit application.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Residents Alarmed by Scale of Unpermitted Emissions</h2>
The SELC said emissions data provided by the turbines' manufacturer show the facility is releasing between 1,200 and 2,100 tons of nitrogen oxides, annually.&nbsp;
These pollutants are known contributors to respiratory illnesses and smog. If confirmed, the site would be the largest industrial emitter of nitrogen oxides in Memphis, the SELC said. "We're profoundly overburdened with industrial pollution," the SELC added, highlighting concerns about the cumulative strain on the health of local residents.

The Memphis data center, referred to internally as "Colossus," began ramping up in 2024 after Musk founded xAI the previous year.&nbsp;

The Shelby County Board of Commissioners held a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikIsU34DsUs&amp;ab_channel=ShelbyCountyBoardofCommissioners">public hearing </a>on April 9 where residents raised concerns about the health impact of air pollution from the turbines. Community members, including KeShaun Pearson, director of Memphis Community Against Pollution, claimed longstanding issues with respiratory illnesses in Southwest Memphis.
Easter May Knox, who said she lives near the facility, described chronic breathing issues in her family. "When I open up that window, I smell everything but the right thing—and the right thing is the clean air," she said at the hearing.
Local officials and environmental groups also criticized the absence of Brent Mayo, a senior manager at xAI responsible for infrastructure development, after residents said they had invited him to attend the hearing.&nbsp;
SELC is urging the county's health department to issue an emergency stop order and impose daily penalties of $25,000 per violation until xAI complies with the <a href="https://www.epa.gov/clean-air-act-overview">Clean Air Act</a> and air permitting regulations.&nbsp;

'We're Profoundly Overburdened With Industrial Pollution,' Environmental Group SELC Says As Elon Musk's xAI Is Accused Of Breaking Clean Air Laws

At 58 years old, a <a href="https://youtu.be/kRWv8SlZpQg?si=PJaQYVjcMoLT05lD">caller to "The Ramsey Show"</a> said he's just plain tired. "I'm getting tired of working," he told Dave Ramsey, admitting he has "really nothing saved" for retirement. Despite pulling in $75,000 a year as a trim carpenter, his savings account has barely moved.
When asked why he hadn't put anything aside, he pointed straight to his past. "I was married to a spender, and at the age of 50, got divorced and walked away with zero dollars," he said.
Eight years later, he's still playing financial catch-up — and carrying debt that made Ramsey raise an eyebrow. The caller has $25,000 left on his mortgage and $20,000 on a motorcycle loan. "You almost owe as much on your motorcycle as you do on your house," Ramsey said. "That's weird."

</ul>
It was co-host Jade Warshaw who first said the motorcycle needed to go, but Ramsey didn't hesitate to back it up. "It's gone," he said, adding that the bike could become "somebody else's great bike now."
Ramsey also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43117114/it-wont-be-enough-financial-experts-warn-gen-x-about-key-retirement-pitfalls">addressed the caller's exhaustion head-on</a>. While the caller said he didn't feel stuck anymore after getting out of his marriage and paying down debt, Ramsey pointed out that the real issue might be a lack of progress toward a clear finish line. "Part of what's making you tired is you feel stuck," Ramsey said. "If my work is going toward a goal that I'm excited about, I'm not as tired. That's all I'm saying."
Still, Ramsey didn't see the situation as hopeless. Far from it. He mapped out a plan: if the caller buckled down, sold the motorcycle, slashed expenses, and stacked $2,000 a month into savings, he could build a serious retirement cushion.

"If you saved $2,000 a month for 10 years, you'd have $240,000 plus growth. It'd be a half-million," Ramsey said. "You'd be 67 years old with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset">half-million dollars and a paid-for house</a>."
It turned out the caller wasn't starting from scratch: he already had $23,000 in cash, a paid-off truck, and a house worth more than he owed. Ramsey advised him to cancel a $100-per-month term life insurance policy and throw every extra dollar into retirement savings.
The bottom line, Ramsey said, wasn't about feelings — it was about math. "You can't art your way out of this one, you have to science your way out," he told him.
Work more now, stack cash, and by retirement, the Harley wouldn't be the only thing in the rearview mirror.

58-Year-Old With No Retirement Says His Ex Left Him Broke And He's Sick of Working — Dave Ramsey Says He Can Build a $500K Nest Egg in 10 Years

Saving for retirement can feel like a game of catch-up — and for a lot of Americans, no matter how responsible they've been, it can seem like the finish line keeps moving. Even living debt-free doesn't guarantee you'll wake up at 65 with a pile of cash.
That was exactly the situation for a <a href="https://youtu.be/-6jHkGtFdmU?si=WH8RYcOrgaDulv8S">66-year-old pastor from Kansas City</a> who called "The Ramsey Show" looking for advice.

<li>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?</li>
</ul>
"My wife and I pastor a small church," he explained. "It's not a career choice — it's a calling." After decades of modest pay, sometimes even skipping paychecks, he and his wife now bring in around $75,000 a year, helped along by Social Security. They're debt-free except for their home — but their retirement savings sit at just around $35,000.
The couple owes about $85,000 on a home now worth roughly $600,000. On paper, it sounds solid. But as the pastor pointed out, paper wealth <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44969001/65-year-old-with-110k-saved-asks-if-he-can-retire-in-7-years-dave-ramsey-says-you-have-no-money-and-tells-him-to-stop-401k-contributions">doesn't necessarily pay the bills in retirement</a>.
Ramsey gave him a clear, practical plan:
"You've got two goals in five years — get the house paid off and put $100,000 into mutual funds."
He mapped it out: by throwing an extra $1,800 a month toward their mortgage, they could eliminate the remaining debt in about two and a half years. After that, if they redirected that $1,800 a month into mutual funds, they'd stack up around $100,000 over the next five years. Combined with the $35,000 they already have — plus typical investment growth — Ramsey estimated they'd be "approaching $200,000" by the time the pastor turns 71.
"And between that and your paid-off $600,000 house, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42026823/this-is-how-you-get-wealthy-dave-ramsey-details-how-one-move-could-make-you-5-million-by-retirement">you're almost a millionaire</a> at that point," Ramsey said.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
The pastor paused, then admitted, "I never thought about it like that."
Of course, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42223593/70-of-millionaires-dont-think-theyre-rich-even-though-people-are-wealthier-than-ever-they-dont-feel-it">whether or not someone feels like a millionaire</a> depends on whether they're willing to cash in the house. Ramsey didn't hammer that point home directly, but it's worth noting: while a paid-off home is incredible security, you can't exactly peel a shingle off the roof and buy groceries.&nbsp;
Selling the house would turn the wealth on paper into something they could actually use — and that's a move Ramsey often suggests for callers in tight spots. Downsizing has practically become one of his signature punchlines, right up there with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44752907/dave-ramsey-says-if-you-want-to-know-what-driving-a-new-car-really-costs-open-your-car-window-once-a-week-and-toss-out-a-100-bill">telling people to sell the car</a> or start living like no one else.
"At least we know you could always sell the house and move to a $400,000 house," Ramsey said, framing it as a solid fallback plan, not a must-do.
Although the next five years would take discipline and hustle, the couple isn't doomed. By staying aggressive with debt payoff, investing steadily, and staying flexible about their housing situation, they still have a real shot at a secure retirement — with a lot more peace and a lot less "wolf" at the door.
