If you've followed our monthly reviews closely, you would have noticed that funds investing into the China market have continuously displayed average losses since October 2013! However, the past one month signified a turnaround as funds investing into the China market finally made some positive gains. Is this a sign of better things to come from the China Market?
In this review, you will find out the GAINS made by funds under the Greater China category over the past one month. Not forgetting there are a few new funds making their entry into the Top 10 ranking which are worth checking out.
We are also introducing the top performing fund identified based on Yield To Date (YTD) to our review. Basically, the YTD performance will tell you which fund has performed well (in terms of return) over a period measured from the 1st of January every year till the date of review.
