"These are local shares, local names that you would have to be a local Chinese person to buy easily," the firm's chairman and chief investment officer told CNBC. "It paints a very different picture because China is sort of a different part of its growth curve."

As of Friday's close, the Rayliant Quantamental China Equity ETF is up more than 24% so far this year.
