- The founding of KraneShares and the investment philosophy behind the firm
- Common misconceptions US investors have around China
- Different Chinese share classes and exchanges where Chinese companies list
- The rise of domestic consumption in China, and “new China” vs. “old China” sectors of China’s economy.
