After years of sluggish returns, China-focused mutual funds in India are making a comeback, buoyed by improving performance in Chinese stock markets and renewed investor interest.

According to ACE MF data, China’s Shanghai Composite and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index have surged up to 35% over the past year, outperforming India’s Nifty and Sensex. This rally follows policy interventions by Chinese regulators to revive the economy, stabilise the property sector, and counter deflation.

Top-Performing Funds in China

Currently, four mutual fund schemes in India focus on the Greater China region (mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan):

Scheme1-Year Return (%)3-Year CAGR (%)AUM (₹ crore)
Mirae Asset Hang Seng TECH ETF53.3NA365
Nippon India ETF Hang Seng BeES43.49.3865
Edelweiss Greater China Equity Offshore Fund19.92.21,820
Axis Greater China Equity FoF17.2NA513

Mirae and Nippon’s ETFs, which invest directly in Greater China stocks, have led the recovery. In contrast, fund-of-funds (FoFs) like Edelweiss and Axis, which invest in global funds with China exposure, have posted moderate gains.

How Can You Invest in China’s Stock Market?

Post SEBI’s 2022 pause on overseas investments, only Axis and Edelweiss currently accept SIPs in their China-focused schemes. Mirae Asset and Nippon India funds remain closed to new investors, though existing investments continue.

Conclusion

With Chinese markets showing signs of recovery and supportive policy measures in place, investor confidence is returning. Despite weak long-term returns due to past challenges like COVID-19 and property sector issues, the recent surge presents a renewed, albeit selective, opportunity for Indian investors eyeing global diversification.
