Most investors assume that the more liquid the ETF, the easier and cheaper it is to trade. This is true in markets like the US, where on-screen liquidity is prevalent, but Asia markets are not as straightforward. China A ETFs with on-screen liquidity are easy to trade, but easier does not always mean cheaper to trade. There is market risk in trading on-screen and though it is easier, it can actually be more expensive than trading via the underling liquidity of China A stocks inside the ETF.

The immediate threat of a US-EU trade war has subsided with President Trump’s sudden reversal on tariffs, but the underlying tensions remain unresolved. Denmark has already denied the existence of any deal to cede Greenland, suggesting this reprieve may be temporary. This constant policy whiplash reinforces the view of major institutional investors like AkademikerPension that US Treasuries are increasingly fraught with headline risk. As their CIO notes, the 'massive credit risk' posed by US governance issues means investors must look beyond the immediate news cycle and plan for a future where US assets are no longer the sole definition of safety. This environment validates the case for Asia Investment Grade (IG) as a superior alternative. The asset class is not only shielded from Western political brinkmanship but is also undergoing a positive transformation. We are seeing a healthy diversification in issuers, highlighted by Kuaishou Technology entering the market to fund its AI ambitions. This signals that Asia IG is evolving from traditional sectors into a dynamic, tech-forward asset class. For investors seeking stability without sacrificing growth, the Premia J.P. Morgan Asia Credit Investment Grade Bond ETF offers diversified exposure to these solid sovereign and corporate credits, serving as a prudent hedge against the unpredictable winds of Washington.“
