Judging from the coverage areas of the six technology ETFs, the distribution of the six products focuses on the three major areas of new materials, chips and machine tools.
Among them, the tracking index of Harvest SSE Sci-tech Innovation Board Chip ETF and Huaan SSE Sci-tech Innovation Board Chip ETF is the SSE Sci-tech Innovation Board Chip Index (hereinafter referred to as the “Science and Technology Innovation Chip Index”), which is established by the Shanghai Stock Exchange and China Securities Index Co., Ltd. in 2022.

Tian Guangyuan, the proposed fund manager of Harvest SSE Science and Technology Innovation Board Chip ETF, said that under the effect of multiple favorable factors resonating at the same frequency, the domestic chip industry contains huge investment opportunities. On the one hand, the continuous development of domestic technology has become an “accelerator” for the development of the domestic chip industry. Data shows that in the past year, 19 of the world‘s 20 fastest-growing chip industry companies are Chinese mainland companies. In 2021, the average sales growth rate of China’s chip industry will rank first in the world. On the other hand, given the three major opportunities of global chip shortage, fluctuations in the global supply chain under short-term factors, and the policy support of “specialized, refined, and new” little giants, China’s chip industry may usher in a golden period of development.

At the same time, the fund products are expected to bring incremental funds to the machine tool industry, help the real economy increase R&D investment, expand production, and promote the qualitative improvement of the industrial chain. Residents’ investment in CSI machine tool-related ETFs, on the one hand, supports the national strategy, and on the other hand helps to share the benefits brought by economic growth.

The top ten samples have a total weight of 59.00%, the top five samples have a total weight of 36.44%, and the largest weight sample is Han’s Laser.

First of all, the localization and development of new materials with excellent performance is the key for China to become a manufacturing power and get rid of the “stuck neck” dilemma. Secondly, the increase in product penetration rate + the prosperity of downstream demand + the company’s core competitiveness escorts the development of the new material company. Finally, the recent decline in raw material prices + the weakening of the negative impact of the epidemic + the improvement of the overseas trade environment has brought room for a rebound in valuations, the periodic suppression of new material companies has weakened, and the margin of gross profit margins has improved. enhanced.
Regarding the issuance of the above-mentioned hard technology ETFs, a relevant person from a large fund company in Shanghai said that the recent market trend was relatively sluggish, and six hard technology ETFs were issued at this time, and their funding enthusiasm needs to be further verified.
