Despite the ugly run Chinese technology stocks have been witnessing this year, Thematic Chinese ETFs tracking the China Digitalization theme have attracted $743 million over the past month.
Bargain-hunting investors have been increasingly betting that it can't get any worse for the technology sector, one of many sectors that have been hammered by the perpetual government crackdown. Year-to-date, technology giants like Tencent Holdings (HK 0700, -17.2%), Alibaba Group holdings (HK 9988, -47.9%) and Baidu (HK 9888: -42% since March IPO) stumbled after Chinese regulators issues a flurry of fines in a series of antitrust investigations. President Xi Jinping also pressed technology tycoons to join his "common prosperity" campaign, calling them to share more wealth with the rest of the country. The wave of harsh measures triggered a massive sell off in the sector, an opportunity that attracts investors with large risk appetite.
