Three favorite ETFs for investing in China

This post is part of a special report, Global advisors look to China.

"In my view, there is no sign of a sustainable rally in the US stock market on the horizon," says Glenn Rogers, asking, "So, against that gloomy backdrop, what's an investor to do?"

The contributing editor to Gordon Pape's Internet Wealth Builder suggests, "One area that looks interesting to me right now is China." Here, he highlights a trio of exchange-traded funds invested in the China market.

"The Chinese government is unencumbered by highly-paid bankers and fractious two-party politics so they have been able to move quickly to stimulate their economy and are generally well-positioned to come out of this downturn in good shape.

Xinhua 25 (FXI): The Dow Jones of China

"When you own iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index (NYSE: FXI), you own the 'best-of-the-best' blue chip stocks traded in the Chinese market," explains Doug Fabian in his The ETF Trader.

"I had been waiting for what I thought would be the inevitable turnaround in Chinese stocks. Much to my dismay, that turnaround hadn't really materialized -- that is, until now.

"For the past couple of months, the value of the iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index (NYSE: FXI) has undergone a prolonged move to the downside.

"However, the recent strengthening in price has led me to believe that a short-term bottom may be in place for Chinese stocks. I now am recommending that you add the iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index to your portfolio.

"I like to say FXI is the Dow Industrials of China. This investment seeks results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 index.

"As FXI has just started to turn off of its lows, I think it has a strong possibility of moving up another 5%-to-10% from here. Make the move into FXI and jump on that fast train to China. We also note that the iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index just underwent a 3-for-1 share split."
