Overview
The company operates as an investment fund focused on capturing the dynamic growth of small-capitalization companies within the Chinese equity markets. It primarily targets the H-shares and B-shares segments, aiming to replicate the market performance and returns of these sectors by investing in a portfolio that closely mimics their composition. Utilizing a strategy that involves allocating at least 80% of its assets towards the securities within the underlying index, and supplementary investments that share similar economic characteristics, the fund is designed for investors looking to tap into the rapid economic developments of China's smaller companies through a market capitalization-weighted approach.
Products and Services
- Component Securities Investment - The fund invests a significant portion of its assets directly into the component securities of the specified underlying index. This forms the cornerstone of the fund's investment strategy, ensuring that its portfolio mirrors the performance of the small-cap segment of the Chinese equity market.
- Free Float-Adjusted Market Capitalization-Weighted Index - It utilizes a market capitalization-weighted index that adjusts for free float, offering a more precise representation of the market by considering only the shares available for public trading. This indexing approach helps in accurate performance measurement of the small-capitalization Chinese equities.
- Investment in Economic Equivalents - Beyond direct investments in indexed securities, the fund also allocates assets to investments that possess economic characteristics almost identical to those of the component securities. This strategy enhances the fund's ability to track the underlying index's performance closely.
