CAS

The Simplify China A Shares PLUS Income ETF (CAS) invests primarily in China A share equities, which are listed on mainland China exchanges in Shenzhen, Shanghai and Beijing. They offer a much more diverse opportunity set across industries and market capitalizations than share classes normally offered to foreign investors. Exposure is gained via total return swaps, which offer a unique source of additional returns via favorable funding rates. A risk-managed options strategy is layered on top of the equities creating income by writing short term spreads on a variety of underlying assets, including equity, fixed income and commodity indices or ETFs.
