151: Brendan Ahern, CIO of KraneShares

KraneShares offers a suite of China-focused ETFs, providing individual investors with a convenient way to round out their investment portfolios. Brendan Ahern, chief investment officer of KraneShares, explains why they’re uniquely positioned in the ETF space. Brendan reminds us of China’s rapidly growing middle class and that more than half of China’s economy today is driven by the service sector. Tune in and learn what sets KraneShares apart and how investors can capitalize on China’s growth.

In today’s episode you’ll learn:

  • About Brendan’s background
  • About KraneShares and how it’s different from other ETFs
  • About the biases and misperceptions that foreigners have about China
  • Statistics that demonstrate the rise of China’s middle class and that China’s economy is about much more than manufacturing and exporting
  • About the advantages of being in individual investor (rather than an institutional investor or hedge fund)
