I am a long term investor of FXI as I believe that it has lots of upside potential. China is the world's second largest economy with 1.4 billion people. To me, a well diversified portfolio is not quite complete without investingin China.
The best part of FXI is the low cost, value for money entry price and the nice regular distributions every 6 months while waiting for capital growth.
