The fourth in the Portfolio Spotlight series is CXSE. CXSE stands for WISDOMTREE CHINA EX-STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES FUND. This ETF is mainly for diversification purpose mid to long term. It serves to protect against rotational play (e.g. sector rotation) as well as geographical diversification. CXSE currently holds the position of reserve in my team. ETFs are measured using different set of metrics from Equities.
1)Liquidity

It’s average spread % is only 0.11 ($0.07). Liquidity defines the bid ask spread of a fund. The higher the liquidity , the smaller the bid ask spread, hence higher opportunity for profit.

3)Market Cap Size

CXSE’s holdings consists of a whopping 89.31% stocks which are large market cap and 10.19% which are mid cap. There are no small and micro cap stocks. This buffers the ETF from shocks due to unpredictable events such as company bankruptcies or accounting fraud which is more likely to happen to small cap companies.

5)Diversification
