E Fund Management Marks First Anniversary of ETF Connect with Inclusion of Four ETF Products
E Fund Management ("E Fund" or the Company), the largest fund management company with offices in mainland China and Hong Kong, marks the first anniversary of the ETF Connect program by expanding its participation. With significant presence in the asset management industry, the Company continues to strengthen its role in this program with inclusion of four additional ETF products, namely E Fund SSE 50 ETF, E Fund STAR 50 ETF, E Fund CSI 1000 ETF, and E Fund CSI SEEE Carbon Neutral ETF. The expanded offerings became effective on July 17, 2023.
This landmark program, which facilitates two way capital flows between mainland China and Hong Kong for eligible exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), has played a pivotal role in deepening the integration of capital markets. Launched in July 2022, the ETF Connect was poised to include ETFs in the Stock Connect, which is often referred to as the mutual market access program. This allows Hong Kong and international investors to trade eligible ETFs listed in mainland China through Hong Kong securities firms, and reciprocally, mainland investors gain access to trade eligible Hong Kong-listed ETFs through local brokerages.
The ETF Connect has grown in both size and scope over the past year. According to Hong Kong Stock Exchanges, a total of 137 ETFs can be traded through the program starting from July 17, 2023. As of July 14, 2023, the total trading volume of Northbound ETFs — ETF investment flows from Hong Kong to the Mainland — amounted to approximately RMB53 billion (US$7.3 billion) since inception, while Southbound ETFs (from the Mainland to Hong Kong) reached a total trading volume of HK$382 billion (US$48.7 billion).
Lin Weibin, Head of Index Investment Department at E Fund Management said, "For overseas investors, the ETF Connect offers a convenient and efficient way to access China's A-share market. We will work to drive more products to be included in the program, providing international investors with an even broader array of investment opportunities."
E Fund joined the ETF Connect as early as its commencement in July 2022 and added three more ETFs in January 2023, covering the CSI Dividend, STAR and ChiNext 50, and MSCI China A50 indices. Now, with the latest expansion in July 2023, E Fund currently has 13 products available in the program.
