					<p>The Chinese domestic equity market is one of the largest in the world by total market capitalization.<sup>1</sup> However, China remains underrepresented among global investors’ portfolios, primarily due to foreign investment restrictions. <sup>2</sup></p>
					<p>Recognizing the need for reform, China began working to allow more direct foreign investment in China A-shares, and now there’s a vehicle that makes such investment possible: Deutsche X-trackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF (ASHR), an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that consists of some of the largest and most-liquid stocks in the world’s second-largest economy.<sup>3</sup></p>

					<p>Most global benchmarks currently include relatively few Chinese equities, but that could change.</p>

					<h2>Reasons to consider China:</h2>
					<h3>A growing economy.</h3>
					<p>
						China has gross domestic product (GDP) of approximately $8 trillion and growth rates averaging 9% over the past 30 years.<sup>4</sup>
					</p>
					<h3>China is catching up to other advanced economies.</h3>
					<p>
						China’s per-capita gross domestic product (GDP) is one seventh of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD’s) average—which means China’s economic momentum could remain rapid in the foreseeable future.
					</p>
					<h3>Consumption and urbanization are increasing. </h3>
					<p>
						Consumption accounts for only half of China’s GDP, which is relatively low, and China’s urbanization ratio is significantly lower than that of other countries. As workers enter cities, they will demand infrastructure and services, driving economic growth.<sup>2</sup>
