Guangzhou, China, (ANTARA/PRNewswire)- Recently, the National Bureau of Statistics of China announced that investment in high-tech industries continued to scale up in the first three quarters, of which the investment in high-tech manufacturing and high-tech services grew by 9.4% and 11.4% respectively. Since September 24th, a series of favorable policies, such as interest rate cuts, mortgage rate reductions, and new monetary tools have boosted China's stock market sentiment. Interest in high-quality assets continues to rise, with broad-based ETFs gaining traction as an attractive investment option. It's also observed that foreign capital is accelerating its inflow into Chinese assets.


EPFR data shows that US$57.6 billion flowed into A-shares between September 23rd and October 20th, making up more than 90% of total flows into emerging markets. As of October 24th, Bloomberg data shows that China-focused ETFs occupied five of the top 10 global ETF inflows, totaling US$19.2 billion for the past month. Global investors particularly favored technology industries, which accounted for a significant portion of these inflows.




Notably, E Fund ChiNext ETF (Code: 159915) and E Fund STAR 50 ETF (Code: 588080) provided by E Fund Management ("E Fund"), the largest mutual fund manager in China, are attracting attention. These ETFs focus on high-growth technology and innovation-driven industries, aligning with the increasing investor interest in China's tech sectors.
