KraneShares MSCI All China Health Care Index UCITS ETF (KURE.L) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of the MSCI China All Shares Health Care 10/40 Index, which measures the equity market performance of large- and mid-cap Chinese companies engaged in the health care sector; the index applies a 10/40 rule limiting any single constituent to 10% weight and the aggregate of issuers above 5% to 40%. The ETF employs full physical replication by holding all index constituents, including key holdings such as WuXi Biologics (Cayman) Inc., Shenzhen Mindray Bio-Medical Electronics Co. Ltd., BeiGene Ltd., Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd., and CSPC Pharmaceutical Group Ltd.; it is accumulating, reinvesting dividends, with a total expense ratio of 0.65% p.a. and currency unhedged in USD. Domiciled in Ireland as an Irish Collective Asset-management Vehicle (ICAV) and launched on January 14, 2021, the ETF lists on the London Stock Exchange, Borsa Italiana, and XETRA, with assets under management of approximately EUR 1 million and geographic focus on China (over 89% exposure), supplemented by Cayman Islands and Hong Kong listings.
