LAUNCH OF THE FIRST CHINA EV ETF ON SGX
Propelled by growing environmental awareness and technological advancements, the
electric vehicle and future mobility (EVFM) industry is one of the world’s
fastest-growing industries.
China is the market leader within this space, and is poised to maintain its
dominant position in years to come. Seeing the bright prospects of China’s EVFM
industry, the Nikko AM-StraitsTrading MSCI China Electric Vehicles And Future
Mobility ETF (SGX:EVS) was launched.
EVS seeks to deliver long-term capital growth by replicating the returns of the
MSCI China All Shares IMI Future Mobility Top 50 Index. The index tracks the
performance of Chinese companies listed in the US, Hong Kong, China, and other
exchanges that expect to derive significant revenue from energy storage
technologies, electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles, shared mobility, and new
transportation methods.
The ETF will also be the first China EV ETF listed on SGX. It comes with an
expense ratio of 0.70% and is available in two currencies – SGD and USD. Hence,
local investors who are interested in riding on the long term growth in China’s
EVFM ecosystem will no longer need to access overseas exchanges to find such
opportunities.
Currently, the closest competitor to EVS, is the Global X China Electric Vehicle
and Battery ETF (HKEX:2845). Both ETFs have holdings in prominent Chinese
battery manufacturers such as Contemporary Amperex Technology, BYD, and EVE
Energy. Additionally, China’s leading lithium producer Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium,
is also reflected in both their top ten holdings. We will be doing a more in
depth comparison of these two ETFs in an upcoming article, so stay tuned.

MOTLEY FOOL LAUNCHES TWO NEW ETFS
Motley Fool Asset Management, which is an affiliate of financial and investing
advice company The Motley Fool, has launched two new ETFs, the Motley Fool
Capital Efficiency 100 Index ETF (NYSE:TMFE) and Motley Fool Next Index ETF
(NYSE:TMFX).
Both funds draw their investable universe from a list of every company that is
actively recommended by a Motley Fool analyst, or among the 150 highest-rated
companies in a database following the company’s team of analysts and newsletter
writers.
TMFE then ranks those companies based on “capital efficiency,” a measure of how
much return a business generates from invested capital. The ETF tracks the
performance of the highest-scoring stocks in the universe as ranked by capital
efficiency.
Some of TMFE’s top holdings include large-cap names such as Visa, Johnson &
Johnson, Meta Platforms, Apple, and Alphabet.

On the other hand, TMFX aims to capture exposure to recommended stocks in the
universe, by eliminating the 100 largest-cap companies in that universe from
contention. The index then selects the next largest eligible stocks for
inclusion, thereby tracking the performance of mid-and-small-cap US companies.
Both these ETFs come with an expense ratio of 0.50%.

A NEW THEMATIC ETF FOCUSING ON PLANT-BASED INNOVATION DEBUTS
Our food and materials supply chain are on the verge of a global shift, as the
current system is inefficient and unsustainable. Pressing problems such as food
security, climate change, deforestation, and animal cruelty are some of the many
issues that need to be addressed.
The focus on innovating and improving the current food and materials supply
chain, thus represents an area of opportunity. A more efficient plant-based food
system that uses less land and water, and emits fewer greenhouse gases is one of
the answers to this challenge.
With this in mind, the plant-based food industry has bright prospects. According
to Boston Consulting Group, the plant-based food industry is expected to grow
740% from USD 39 billion to USD 290 billion by 2035.
To capitalise on this, newly formed investment advisor VegTech Invest debuted an
ETF, called the VegTech Plant-based Innovation & Climate ETF (NYSE:EATV). This
actively managed ETF includes 37 publicly traded companies innovating with
plants and plant-derived ingredients and producing primary products that are
animal-free, to propel a less damaging and resource-intensive supply system.
Notable positions include Beyond Meat (8.6%), MGP Ingredients (8.1%), Amyris
(7.2%), ELF Beauty (6.8%), and Oatly (5.2%). The ETF comes with an expense ratio
of 0.75%.
Investors interested in thematic strategies on food technology may also find
other similar ETFs such as the Global X AgTech & Food Innovation ETF
(NASDAQ:KROP) and VanEck Future of Food ETF (NYSE:YUMY), which come with expense
ratios of 0.50% and 0.69%, respectively.

A BRAND NEW CRISPR GENE EDITING ETF DEBUTS: YAY OR NAY?
Gene editing is the process whereby DNA strands are edited to remove and/or
replace damaged or mutated parts of human genomes that cause diseases like
diabetes, cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease, cancer and more.
When it comes to gene editing, CRISPR (clustered repeating interspaced short
palindromic repeats), is the most commonly used technology. It acts like a
cut-and-paste tool within cells, to modify DNA and correct mutations.
Seeing the potential of gene-editing technology, Kelly ETFs launched the Kelly
CRISPR & Gene Editing Technology ETF (NASDAQ:XDNA) on 12 January 2022. The ETF
is designed to capitalise on the next generation of healthcare by investing in
companies disrupting the genomic and life science industries.
XDNA tracks the Strategic CRISPR & Gene Editing Technology Index, which measures
the performance of developed market companies that specialise in DNA
modification systems and technologies. The subsectors of this fund include
CRISPR & Gene Editing Technology, Gene Editing Development Solutions and Gene
Editing Sequencing Solutions.
However, the ETF has an expense ratio of 0.78%, which is not particularly
attractive considering that there are cheaper alternatives available. For
instance, the iShares Genomics Immunology and Healthcare ETF (NYSE:IDNA) as well
as the Global X Genomics & Biotechnology ETF (NASDAQ:GNOM) come at an expense
ratio 0.47% and 0.50% respectively. Hence, it’s a nay for us.

ETF SPOTLIGHT: ISHARES HANG SENG TECH ETF
2022 is a politically important year for China. The Chinese Communist Party will
host its 20th National Party Congress in November, to determine whether or not
President Xi continues for another presidential term. In such a year, Chinese
policymakers tend to prefer social and economic stability.
After focusing its policy on curbing financial risks and reducing debt in the
economy in 2021, Beijing is starting to shift its focus towards supporting
stable growth in the economy. This was emphasised during the recent annual
Central Economic Work Conference, where Chinese leaders mapped out their
priorities for 2022.
In contrast to the previous year, where the disorderly expansion of capital and
tech companies was talked about, there was also less mention of the crackdown on
large technology companies. This, coupled with the fact that most rectifications
by internet companies have already been implemented, are signs that regulatory
pressures are easing.
Given the steep selloff in Chinese tech stocks, we think that valuations are now
too cheap to be ignored. Investors who are positive on the long-term growth
prospects of this sector may use this opportunity to add to their positions. The
iShares Hang Seng TECH ETF (HKEX:3067) is our preferred ETF for exposure to
China’s technology sector.
