About MCSMX

The Matthews China Small Companies Fund is an actively managed mutual fund specializing in equities of small-cap companies based in China, including those listed in Hong Kong. Its primary objective is long-term capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its assets in common and preferred stocks of smaller enterprises that exhibit substantial ties to the Chinese market. By focusing on entrepreneurial firms and sectors responsive to domestic innovation and consumer demand, the fund seeks to capture growth opportunities in China’s dynamic economy. Investments are typically concentrated in higher value-added industries such as technology, consumer discretionary, industrials, and real estate, reflecting the evolving landscape of China’s economic development. The fund is non-diversified, which means it may be more exposed to risks inherent to the Chinese market and small-cap stocks, including higher volatility and lower liquidity compared to larger firms. Since its inception in 2011, the Matthews China Small Companies Fund has offered investors access to an underrepresented segment of the Chinese equity market, making it a targeted option for those seeking exposure to the growth prospects of smaller Chinese companies.
