Top Trumps: China equities – 13 June 2024

This week FSA presents a quick presentation of two China equities funds: the Harvest China Equity fund and the Ninety One All China Equity fund.
Source: FE Fundinfo. All relevant fund data converted to US dollars for comparative purposes. Performance, alpha and volatility are annualised over three years with data as reported at the end of last month. Information ratio (IR) aims to measure a portfolio manager’s consistent ability to generate excess returns relative to a benchmark. The higher the IR, the more consistent the manager is.

Based on the popular 80s card game, each week we select an asset class and use FE fundinfo data to compare two funds based on their three-year performance, assets under management, alpha, volatility, ongoing charges and information ratio to decide which is the Top Trump.
