(KSTR) KraneShares SSE STAR Market - Ratings and Ratios

KraneShares SSE STAR Market 50 Index ETF (NYSE ARCA: KSTR) is designed to provide exposure to the top 50 companies listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchanges Science and Technology Innovation Board (STAR Board), focusing on firms with the largest free-float market capitalizations. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its net assets to securities in its underlying index or to instruments exhibiting similar economic characteristics. As a non-diversified fund, it may concentrate its holdings in a smaller number of issuers, which can increase volatility. The STAR Board is known for hosting innovative and technology-driven companies, offering investors access to high-growth sectors in China.

The funds underlying index tracks the performance of 50 leading companies on the STAR Board, which emphasizes emerging industries such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology. By targeting this niche, KSTR provides U.S. investors with a unique opportunity to participate in Chinas rapidly evolving technology and innovation ecosystem. However, due to its concentrated exposure, the fund may exhibit higher sensitivity to market fluctuations compared to diversified ETFs.
