KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (KWEB) has lost about 57.6% over five years, far underperforming the broader China large-cap ETF (FXI) which lost 20%. The high expense ratio of 0.70% is only a small part of the problem; KWEB’s heavy concentration in just 10 internet stocks, especially Alibaba and Tencent, exposes investors to significant regulatory risks in China. Additionally, volatile year-end tax distributions and market volatility make KWEB a risky, narrow bet compared to the more diversified FXI. Investors should reassess if they want pure China internet exposure or broader China market exposure given these costs and risks.
