    If you want a China fund, can you answer this question: do you want to invest primarily in their global trading or their domestic economy? 
  • Hi,
    price 'live' again, 1214.95p, -3.08p, on 05/10/20.
    So, must've been a holiday weekend clitch.
    Don't like that set up so thinking of switching to BG China B Acc.

    Switching because they don't operate on holidays, bit harsh

    Hi,
    just seemed odd, though could be because fund recently came under First Sentier from First State.

    So you want to switch fro one fund that invests in Chinese companies, that doesn’t allow investors to trade on a Chinese holiday, because the Chinese securities won’t be priced or tradable in the market, to another fund where we have not checked if they apply the same logic?

    At best if the second fund is still pricing, the price would be a fair value or to put another way a best guess or estimate if they do not stale or suspend the fund as well for the same reason.

    Not advocating either fund or approach, but that is an odd reason to make a decision.  

    It’s a bit like saying I’ll goto a petrol station out of hours to buy a can of cider, because my local Tesco’s shut at 10.  You may get a similar product, but you may or may not pay a premium for it.

    You are effectively limiting your choice through unconscious need for convenience.
