Reading. Fees of 0,07 % per year represent 7 € collected each year for 10 000 € invested, directly in the share value. China and Asia ETFs expose to highly regulated markets: depending on the index, you hold shares of Hong Kong, Shanghai or US ADRs, with very different results. Positions come from the issuer's publications; performance is calculated on the closing prices of the VPL listing, dividends not reinvested, in the listing currency.
