Renminbi Yuan & Bond Fund

China is the world's second largest economy and a leading player in world trade. The renminbi yuan is moving onto the world stage just as a renminbi yuan bond market is developing in Hong Kong. The Guinness Atkinson Renminbi Yuan & Bond Fund invests directly in renminbi yuan denominated bonds and cash instruments.

At Guinness Atkinson we believe:

  • China's currency should continue to appreciate against the US dollar due to the relative strength of China's economy.
  • As China's economy transforms from an export to a consumer oriented economy, a stronger yuan should help check Chinese inflation.
  • China's global economic presence and massive levels of global trade should afford it a greater role in the international finance system.

Performance

The Renminbi Yuan & Bond Fund launched on June 30, 2011 at an initial net asset value of $12.50. The current price of the Fund can be found on our home page. Most recent performance is identified below.

All performance data shows average annualized returns, except for periods of one year or less, which are actual returns.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the Funds may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Total returns reflect a fee waiver in effect and in the absence of this waiver, the total returns would be lower. Performance data does not reflect the 2% redemption fee for shares held less than 30 days and if deducted the fee would reduce the performance quoted.

Short term performance, in particular, is not a good indication of the fund's future performance, and an investment should not be made based solely on returns.
