As CAF only invests in A-shares, it can't take advantage of the wide valuation gap between A-shares and H-shares, which is a concern.

CEF Weekly Commentary | December 10, 2023 | High Quality Opportunities
Stocks were up slightly as the jobs report shifted the narrative towards 'higher for longer.'
