As of Nov 4, 2026, ETFIQ places 25 stock ETFs in the China region, with a median fee of 0.65%, against 0.50% for Europe funds.

### In plain words

A China ETF owns companies based in China or listed under its rules, including mainland and Hong Kong firms. Some own only large firms, others technology firms or smaller companies.

ETFIQ counts 25 funds; the median fee of 0.65% is above Europe’s 0.50% and Japan’s 0.49%, because trading in China’s markets costs more. Holdings close in Asian time, so the price can differ from value at the US close. Rules, taxes and share access can change.

### Questions

Does a China ETF own mainland shares? Some do, some own Hong Kong or US-listed shares. The holdings page shows which.

Why is the fee higher? It costs more to trade and keep shares there.

Where do I see what is inside? On the fund’s holdings page, dated.
