Active ETF Launches Set for Immediate Release, Sparking Innovation in On-Exchange Investment Ecosystem

The launch of the first batch of active ETFs is approaching. On October 20, 18 mutual funds including E Fund, China Asset Management, Haitong Wealth, Southern, Fugoo, and Penghua simultaneously disclosed their sales arrangements, with their active ETFs scheduled for a concentrated issuance on October 23. Based on an estimated fundraising cap of 2 billion yuan per product, the 18 products are expected to attract a combined total of 36 billion yuan. Industry insiders believe that, unlike past index ETFs and off-exchange active equity funds, these newly launched active ETFs will embed active investment research capabilities into standardized on-exchange vehicles, reconstructing product logic in terms of investment flexibility, information transparency, and trading mechanisms, marking an accelerated formation of a new ecosystem where passive and active strategies collaborate within the mutual fund industry.
