Will EWH directly include Shein after the IPO?
Not immediately. ETFs tracking the MSCI Hong Kong Index will add Shein only after it meets the index inclusion criteria, which typically requires a certain market cap and liquidity. However, the positive sentiment can lift EWH broadly.
Is EWH a buy ahead of Shein's IPO?
If the IPO sparks a broader Hong Kong market rally, EWH could benefit. However, it also carries risks including China regulatory actions and interest rate sensitivity.
