Description

L&G China CNY Bond UCITS ETF tracks the issuer-declared index: J.P. Morgan China Custom Liquid ESG Capped Index. The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.30%, plus 0.00% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. Replication is full physical replication (the KID declares buying every index constituent); income is distributed to investors. The fund has assets of about 92 million euro, was launched on 9 December 2020 and is domiciled in Ireland. In our registry it is the largest by assets among the 2 ETFs declaring the same index.

The fund’s objective — in the issuer’s words

The investment objective of the Fund is to provide exposure to the government and policy bank bond market in the People’s Republic of China. The Fund is passively managed and aims to track the performance of the J.P. Morgan China Custom Liquid ESG Capped Index (the “Index”), before the deduction of fees and expenses. The Index is designed to provide exposure to CNY denominated government bonds and policy bank bonds issued in the People’s Republic of China, in accordance with its methodology.

Keep reading the KID section ▾

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in bond securities that, as far as possible and practicable, make up the Index in similar proportions to their weightings in the Index. Where it is not possible or practicable to invest directly in all of the constituents of the Index, the Fund may also invest in bond related securities and instruments that are not constituents of the Index but have similar risk and performance characteristics, and may use financial derivative instruments for efficient portfolio management or to assist in tracking the performance of the Index. This Share Class aims to pay semi-annual dividends out of the Fund's net income by electronic transfer. Shares in this Share Class (the "Shares") are denominated in USD and can be bought and sold on stock exchanges by ordinary investors using an intermediary (e.g. a stockbroker). In normal circumstances, only Authorised Participants may buy and sell Shares directly with the Company. Authorised Participants may redeem their Shares on demand in accordance with the "Dealing Timetable" published on http://www.lgim.com.

The depositary of the Fund is the Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Dublin Branch. Further information about the Fund and the share class can be obtained from the Company's prospectus and the annual and semi-annual reports, which are available, in addition to the latest prices for the share class and details of any other share classes, free of charge at: www.lgim.com.

Intended Retail Investor:The Fund is designed for investors looking for a combination of growth and income from an investment in eligible fixed-rate CNY denominated government and policy bank bonds which can form part of their existing savings portfolio. Although investors can take their money out at any time, the Fund may not be appropriate for those who plan to withdraw their money within five years. The Fund is not designed for investors who cannot afford more than a minimal loss of their investment.

From month-end NAVs, over the fund’s full history, on the series shown in the chart (dividends reinvested where declared). Deeper colour = larger move.
Issuer-declared series with dividends reinvested: the total performance, comparable with accumulating funds. Switch it off to see the price (NAV) alone, which drops at every dividend payment.
Source: LGIM. Issuer-declared historical series; inflation: Eurostat and national statistical institutes, latest available July 2026 — for later days the index stays at the last published value (institutes publish with a few weeks’ lag). The «adjusted for inflation» view expresses value in today’s purchasing power for the selected country; volatility always stays nominal, as elsewhere on the site (deflating it would add artificial swings caused by the monthly cadence of the price index). Past performance is not indicative of future results: these are facts, not a recommendation.

Tracking difference — fund vs index

How much the fund returned above (+) or below (−) its index, year by year. It measures the actual deviation: the combined effect of costs (TER and transaction), securities-lending revenue and replication optimisations — which is why it can beat the TER. Tracking difference was positive in 0 of the last 5 calendar years: a past observation, not an indication of future outperformance.
