Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
Matthews first four active ETFs have only a year under their belts, so hard to tell if investors will benefit from the new vehicles, many of which are clones of existing OEFs. MEM and MEMX have not been bad at all.
I’m through with Matthews after the fiasco with MAPIX. I held this fund for more than seven years and still lost money. It did well for a while and then collapsed. I didn’t realize it had changed management and its investment strategy until it was too late. The whole situation tells me that Matthews is not a well-run company— to take one of its most successful and popular funds and essentially run it into the ground.
