Effective Thursday, 16 January, 2014 the db X-trackers Harvest CSI300 Index UCITS ETF (DR) enables European investors to participate for the first time in the performance of the Chinese CSI300 Index via physical replication. The ETF was issued by Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management together with Harvest Global Investments.

The new ETF provides investors with direct access to the 300 largest Chinese A-shares in terms of market capitalisation and liquidity. These equities are listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges and can only be purchased by foreign investors under certain conditions. Hong Kong-based Harvest Global Investments has the required RQFII (renminbi qualified institutional investor) authorisation, which means the ETF can invest directly in A-class equities.
