Beginner's Post: What Exactly Does Xiege's "Playing Mixed Blood" Mean? What's the Strategy?

In the previous post, some friends thought I didn’t explain clearly. It’s not that I refuse to explain, but that fully clarifying it takes too much time and effort. Excluding the understanding issues of beginners, even the narrative alone could fill a book. I can’t help but share some basic, simple points.

First, what is a “Hybrid Fund”? A hybrid fund is a fund that exists across two or more different markets or asset classes. For example, the Korea-China Semiconductor ETF holds positions in South Korea’s Hynix and Samsung, accounting for about 32%, and also includes Cambrian, SMIC, and Hygon Information, making up roughly 47%. This gives it the attributes of both Korea and China. You can think of it as a combination of the Korean electronics index and the Chinese chip computing power index. If you simplify further, it’s like a blend of the Chinese index and the Korean index. Holding it is equivalent to holding indices from both China and Korea. Since these markets move differently, their ups and downs won’t be perfectly aligned, which greatly reduces risk compared to holding stocks from just one market.
In the A-share market, there are many such products. For example, Hong Kong media internet stocks can be roughly seen as a mix of Chinese internet technology and US tech stocks. Global oil and gas energy can be viewed as about 80% US oil and gas index and 20% Chinese oil, coal, and electricity indices. There are also Southeast Asian tech, Asia-Pacific select, emerging Asia, and many more—just look for them yourself. Besides stock hybrid funds, there are commodity hybrids, stock-commodity joint hybrids, multi-country hybrids, and so on—explore on your own.

Writing is tiring, so I’ll keep it simple. To hedge against the risk of A-share declines, the idea of diversification across markets is key. That’s where the advantage of hybrid funds comes in. The so-called “natural hybrid” (by Brother Yexie) is like a chicken with multiple attributes—since it’s natural, there’s also artificial hybridization. For example, if you buy a Nasdaq ETF + France’s CAC + A500 ETF + Gold ETF + Jiashi Oil LOF, you’ve created an artificial hybrid of China, the US, France, and commodities.

Now, I’ll briefly discuss the pros and cons of natural and artificial hybrids and their operation methods… but I’m too tired to continue. I’m nearing retirement, my head isn’t in the best shape, so I can’t force myself to keep going. Sorry again.
