Although Chinese equities were up slightly over the past week, the KraneShares Tactical Emerging Markets Model TR (KRANETACTEM.TR) sold off the KraneShares MSCI All China Health Care Index ETF TR (KURE.TR) and allocated that percentage weight into the KraneShares MSCI Emerging Markets Ex China ETF TR (KEMX.TR).  As a refresher, the KraneShares model seeks to maintain major themes in emerging markets, providing an overweight or underweight exposure towards Chinese equities. KEMX acts as a sweep down indicator, absorbing any allocation that it ranks higher than in its respective matrix.

The change in the model reflects an ongoing theme of emerging markets ex China showing more relative strength against Chinese equities. KEMX now only ranks behind two other funds within the matrix and earns roughly 2/3'rds of available allocation within in the model. We will continue monitoring the KraneShares model for further changes.

The table below is a review of important technical data on a select group of KraneShares ETFs. Significant changes within the past week are highlighted in Green if positive or Red if negative. This portfolio is designed to be used as a "radar" screen to bring your attention to potentially important technical changes that may require your attention and potential action. When evaluating the Fund Score, the strongest issues have scores of 4 or higher while those ETFs with scores below a 3 are no longer considered solid citizens.

The distribution curve places each ETF on a bell curve according to their respective degrees of overbought or oversold status using a 10-week distribution. ETFs that are statistically oversold will appear on the left-hand side of the bell curve, while those that have become statistically overbought will appear on the right-hand side of the bell curve. Perhaps the most useful attribute of this feature is that it displays the entire universe on the curve at one time to give us a general picture of whether the KraneShares ETF universe is generally overbought on a near-term basis, or generally oversold. Our best opportunities are to buy strong relative strength ETFs that have regressed back toward mean conditions based on market weakness, or have become oversold based upon extreme market weakness. Weekly Distribution is a short-term gauge that is most helpful in timing entry and exit points, while the longer-term information of trend and relative strength is a more controlling factor in the decision of whether to buy or sell.
