On September 23rd, the highly anticipated core broad-based index – the CSI A500 Index was officially launched, closing up by 0.23% on its first day. On the same day, the first batch of ten CSI A500 ETFs, which were issued ahead of the index, completed their fundraising and all reached the initial fundraising limit of 2 billion yuan, injecting an additional 20 billion yuan into the market. Industry analysis suggests that domestic fundamental indicators have shown structural highlights, and overseas positive factors are also accumulating with the start of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate reduction cycle. With favorable internal and external factors resonating, core assets with attractive fundamentals and valuations are expected to demonstrate greater resilience.


Official Launch of the CSI A500 Index


On September 23rd, following the CSI A50 Index, the new member of the CSI A series – the CSI A500 Index was officially launched. Wind data shows that as of the first day’s closing, the CSI A500 Index increased by 0.23%. According to the CSI Index website, the CSI A500 Index is positioned to reflect the overall performance of the most representative listed company securities across industries. The index compilation method focuses on industry balance, selecting 500 securities with larger market capitalization from each industry as index samples, and maintains the primary industry market value distribution of the index samples as consistent as possible with the sample space, where leading companies in the tertiary industry have priority for selection.


In addition, the index compilation combines filtering conditions such as interconnectivity and ESG evaluation, facilitating the allocation of core A-shares by domestic and foreign long-term funds. Looking at the index components, the top ten weighted stocks of the index currently are Kweichow Moutai, CATL, Ping An Insurance, China Merchants Bank, Yangtze Power, Midea Group, Zijin Mining, Industrial Bank, BYD, and Wuliangye, with a cumulative weight of 20.


98%; in terms of industry distribution, the top five primary industries with the highest weight are Industry (22.08%), Finance (14.62%), Information Technology (13.08%), Raw Materials (10.89%), and Consumer Discretionary (9.00%). Morgan’s拟任 fund manager Han Xiuyi introduced that the CSI A500 Index covers more leading companies in sub-segments and representatives of emerging industries.



As of September 19th, the CSI 500 Index includes 266 stocks not covered by the SSE 300 Index, accounting for a combined weight of 19.86%. The industries with higher weights include industrial, raw materials, information technology, communication services, healthcare, and consumer discretionary sectors, covering leading companies in the subfields of communication equipment and electronic components.


“The CSI 500 Index, as a newly compiled broad-based index, is high in ‘newness’ and covers more leading companies in subfields and representatives of emerging industries. In the new wave of technological revolution, high-quality enterprises representing the development direction of new productive forces are expected to bring more vitality to the capital market, allowing investors to better share the fruits of high-quality economic development,” said Han Xiuyi.


Huatai-PineBridge Fund stated that the CSI 500 Index, while based on large-cap blue-chip stocks, evenly covers core leading assets in various industries of A-shares, offering higher coverage and stronger representation compared to traditional broad-based indices. Moreover, the inclusion of ESG evaluation mechanisms and interconnectivity screening standards gives the index a certain international perspective, making it a potential important window for foreign investors to access the Chinese market and a new benchmark for core assets that align more closely with international investment needs.


The first batch of CSI 500 ETFs has completed the process of reporting, approval, and issuance before the release of the CSI 500 Index, a pace unprecedented in the fund industry. According to previous announcements, the first batch of 10 CSI 500 ETFs all set a maximum initial fundraising scale of 2 billion yuan and went on sale collectively on September 10th. On September 13th, Jia Shi CSI 500 ETF was the first to reach the 2 billion yuan initial fundraising limit and ended its fundraising early; on September 18th and 19th, the CSI 500 ETFs under Morgan Asset Management and Jing Shun Great Wall Fund reached the 2 billion yuan initial fundraising limit and ended their fundraising early; on September 20th, the CSI 500 ETFs under Nanfang Fund, Huatai-PineBridge Fund, Fu Guo Fund, and China Merchants Fund ended their fundraising and all reached the 2 billion yuan initial fundraising limit.


On September 23rd, the CSI 500 ETFs under Tai Kang Fund, Guo Tai Fund, and Yin Hua Fund ended their fundraising collectively and all reached the 2 billion yuan initial fundraising limit. To date, the first batch of ten CSI 500 ETFs has completed fundraising and all reached the 2 billion yuan initial fundraising limit, undergoing proportional allocation, and will inject an additional 20 billion yuan into the market in the future.




From the currently disclosed allocation results of CSI 500 ETFs, Jia Shi Fund, Jing Shun Great Wall Fund, Nanfang Fund, Guo Tai Fund, and Yin Hua Fund all adopted the “last day proportion confirmation” principle for allocation, with confirmation ratios of 79.
Percentages: 90%, 81.88%, 92.71%, 88.86%, 49.45%. Morgan Asset Management, Huatai-PineBridge Fund, Fullgoal Fund and China Merchants Fund adopt the ‘full-process proportional confirmation’ principle.


The confirmation ratios are 76.96%, 96.11%, 87.77% and 85.06% respectively. Harvest CSI A500 ETF was established first on September 20. The total number of valid subscriptions during fundraising is 6,903 households. The net subscription amount during fundraising is 2 billion yuan, among which the fund manager uses its own funds to subscribe 200 million yuan. Huatai-PineBridge Fund stated that looking at domestic and overseas markets, the clearance of domestic risks may be gradually coming to an end.


Some fundamental indicators also show structural highlights. Positive factors overseas are also continuously accumulating with the start of the Fed’s interest rate cut cycle. Under the resonance of domestic and overseas positive factors, this may be a good time to strengthen confidence and make contrarian layouts. In this context, core assets with attractive fundamentals and valuations are expected to show stronger resilience.


The CSI A500 index, which gathers more industry leaders and focuses on growth points in the new economic field, may be a powerful tool to seize the opportunity of configuring A-share core assets at a low level.
