The information technology, consumer discretionary and staples, and health care sectors are driving what has been called Chinas New Economy, said Bagaria. They are among the top sectors represented in the underlying index for CNXT.

In addition, the Fund is subject to risks associated with foreign and emerging markets investments including liquidity, valuation, currency, and non-diversification, among other risks. Companies with medium- and smaller-capitalizations are also subject to elevated risks.
