SMHC extends VanEck's semiconductor franchise, which includes the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) and the VanEck Fabless Semiconductor ETF (SMHX). China's domestic semiconductor industry has become one of the fastest-growing segments of its economy, yet most semiconductor strategies are concentrated in large U.S., Taiwanese and European names across design, fabrication and equipment. The build-out taking shape inside China is being constructed across the entire domestic value chain, reinforced by national policy priority, a captive base of state-directed domestic demand and sovereign capital.
