HONG KONG--()--CSOP Huatai-PineBridge CSI 300 ETF (3133.HK) will list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on July 16, 2024. In seeking to achieve its investment objective, 3133.HK will invest at least 90% of its NAV in the Huatai-PineBridge CSI 300 Exchange-traded Open-end Index Securities Investment Fund (the “Master ETF”) via the QFI status granted to the Manager and/or the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect. With listing price of approximately HKD 7.8 per unit, board lot of 100 units, 3133.HK has received an initial investment of RMB 51.1 million.

At the beginning of 2024, a slew of foreign financial institutions are bullish on Chinese stock market and have upgraded their ratings1. Meanwhile, the northbound fund flows have been positive for three months in a row since February, hit a new record high in April, indicating strong overseas investment interest in A-share2. Analysis suggests that China's stock market is benefiting from four major tailwind factors: the "national team" purchasing A-share ETFs to boost funds and confidence; the introduction of the once-in-a-decade new 'Nine Guidelines for Capital Market' policy, and the A-share buybacks and dividends continue to accumulate; quarterly GDP growth in China has beat expectations, with steady earnings recovery; the price-earnings ratio of the CSI 300 index is lower than its 20-year historical average, making A-share highly attractive for investment3.

Since late 2023, state-owned financial firms led by Central Huijin and China Securities Finance Corp have been investing heavily in A-share ETFs, especially CSI 300 ETFs3. The policy-driven funds of the "national team" have often intervened to support the capital market, which is seen as a sign to stabilize the stock market. According to UBS estimates, since 2024, policy-driven funds have injected more than RMB 410 billion (around USD 57 billion) into A-share, 75% of which went to CSI 300 ETFs4. The Master ETF's quarterly report reveals that Central Huijin added 26.356 billion shares in the first quarter of 2024, amounting to approximately RMB 88.8 billion5.

The CSI 300 Index (the "Index") serves as a benchmark for China's A-share stock market, tracking 300 largest and most liquid companies in China's A-share stock market to comprehensively reflect overall market performance. The median return on equity (ROE) range of the Index has consistently exceeded 10% over an extended period6. Since 2020, the Index has incorporated new stocks from the SSE's STAR Market and relaxed listing year requirements for SZSE's ChiNext Market stocks. Currently, the Index constituents are well-balanced across cyclical industries, technology, large financials, and consumer sectors. The Master ETF, the world's largest CSI 300 ETF, manages over RMB 190 billion and sees an average daily turnover exceeding RMB 4.6 billion this year7.

Ms. Ding Chen, CEO of CSOP Asset Management, stated, "As a widely recognized fund management company, we are delighted to offer Hong Kong investors the opportunity to invest in top-quality assets in China. CSOP Huatai-PineBridge CSI 300 ETF, which tracks the world's largest CSI 300 ETF, is the optimal solution for investing in China A-share.
