Lots of new chinese investors using margin trading who have only experienced a rising market have now been hit by government curbs on margin trading, hence today's large drop (along with house price falls data). I am expecting a panic from newbie China investors selling out while they are still in profit. So a volatile stockmarket index will get even more volatile. Thanks for the info on FCSS, will have a look at it. I think I was very lucky to get out of FXC at a profit (helped by sterling's falls, of course).

In fact FCSS has done much better than FXC.

Have twice bought CHNP recently -as soon as I have it dropped.FCSS far less volatile even if reward not as good.

Not much on this board about following Chinese Stockmarket via ETF . I have just sold my holding in FXC at a small profit but the ETF did not really follow the SSI unlike ASHR but that one I can't buy in my SIPP. I can buy RQFI which as far as I can see is the sterling version of ASHR, both invested in the CSSI 300 rather than the top 50 (mostly finance and therefore very dangerous IMO) that FXC and ASHR follow. If you want to follow just the top 50 A shares CHNP seems a better option as it directly own shares, I think. Obviously, when buying or selling you are also taking a punt on sterling versus the Chinese currency so you can get some quite fierce drops and highs. The one thing I don't like about RQFI is that the bid/spread can be as high as one percent though often a bit less than that. Be interested to hear of any other options that I buy in a SIPP wraper to follow the Chinese market, though I only want ETFs rather than single companies.
