I am the Chief Investment Officer of KraneShares, a China-focused provider of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). As a pioneer within the ETF industry I experienced the surge in popularity of ETFs firsthand, helping an industry-leading global ETF provider grow AUM from a few million to over $1.5 trillion. Leveraging my experience working in capital markets, voracious appetite for global financial news and a touch of humor, I aim to provide readers with an informative daily roundup of key headlines and data from Chinaโs financial markets. In addition to contributing to Forbes, I am often interviewed on and quoted in Bloomberg, CNBC and The Wall Street Journal on matters surrounding Chinese markets.
