Krane Funds Advisors LLC is now offering its Krane Model Portfolios on the Adhesion, Envestnet and Vestmark Turnkey Asset Management Platforms (TAMPs).

A global asset management firm, the company offers China-centric exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as well as China investment strategies, according to a news release. The company is the investment manager for KraneShares ETFs and Krane Model Portfolios. 

“We are excited to provide our strategies to a broader range of clients by partnering with Envestnet, Adhesion and Vestmark, three of the leading platforms in the industry,” Jonathan Shelon, KraneShares COO, said in the news release. “We believe that our strategies being offered by these platforms represent a validation of our belief that China should be treated as a standalone asset class in portfolios. We look forward to working with advisors that use these platforms to help them implement world-class China and Emerging Market strategies.”

In today’s global economy, it is deemed important to have a diverse portfolio. According to the news release, the company’s portfolios feature core, strategic and thematic portfolios from emerging, global and Chinese markets. As China continues to emerge as a key global economic force, the release said that it is becoming a key part of any investment portfolio. There is no additional cost for the model portfolios, other than the cost of the ETFs used in each model. 

Moreover, the release noted that Krane is offering four types of portfolios, including its dynamic emerging markets model; dynamic China growth model; China growth model; and China innovation model. 

According to the news release, the company started Krane Model Portfolios two years ago, focusing on improving allocations of China and emerging markets. It also is showing how the KraneShares ETFs can be combined to boost portfolios. The company’s focus is delivering fundamental strategies that are based on key existing partnerships and its investing expertise. More information is available at portfolios.kraneshares.com.
